OpenAI and Microsoft failed to escape a trial over Elon Musk’s claims that Sam Altman’s startup betrayed its founding mission as a public charity when it took billions in funding from the software giant. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/01/16/tech/elon-musk-openai-microsoft-trial/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #elonmusk #samaltman #openai #microsoft #tech #artificialintelligence
Tech titans like Elon Musk are offering us a future of socialism from above, where they keep the means of production while everyone else gets an allowance. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/12/world/silicon-valley-socialism/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #karlmarx #communism #socialism #artificialintelligence #ai #capitalism #samaltman #openai #elonmusk #jobs
It’s 2026 and generative AI is still at the center of the tech conversation — for better or worse.
In light of that, this week #TechWontSaveUs is replaying a great interview with @karenhao about OpenAI and the model of AI development pushed by Sam Altman.

I Am An AI Hater
I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response. Miyazaki said, “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.” Scam Altman said we can surround the solar system with a Dyson Sphere to hold data centers. Miyazaki is right, and Altman is wrong. Miyazaki tells stories that blend the ordinary and the fantastic in ways people find deeply meaningful. Altman tells lies for money.

Three years after ChatGPT made OpenAI the leader in artificial intelligence and a household name, rivals have closed the gap and some investors are wondering if the sensation has the wherewithal to stay dominant. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/12/16/tech/open-ai-future/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #tech #openai #microsoft #google #samaltman #chatgpt #ai #computers #tech #chipmakers
📰 It's ironic when somebody starts selling the solution to a problem they were a major part of creating:

in a world roiled by AI-generated digital fakery, it hopes to create digital “proof of human” tools that can help separate the humans from the bots."¹

A quite reasonable policy that concretely means "don't use #LLM".
My only objection is to this sentence:
BUT it's totally reasonable to held accountable for its output those who run it and sell its output as a service.
Whatever #OpenAI's websites display to users, it is Open AI's choice to display it, so it's their own responsibility, be it output of a LLM or #SamAltman own writing.
We can and should held these companies legally accountable. Talking of #AI (obviouslack of) responsibility is misleading and only serves the interests of these companies.
So a better wording would heve been

"We’re in uncharted territory. Nobody knows if this scales to AGI or hits a wall at GPT-5.”
#SamAltman, CEO of #OpenAI, 2025
https://substack.com/inbox/post/179453867
Oh no we know. It's neither. It hit the wall with ChatGPT3 and has been spinning its wheels ever since.
You've got to grudgingly admire the cojones on this grifter though, still trying to sell his house of cards as a luxury home even as it starts to collapse before our eyes.

Le propos de Sadin est assez brouillon, notamment sur le #technofascisme, mais il pointe du doigt l'énorme faille des raisonnements politiques et médiatiques sur les #IA et le #numérique en général, à savoir l'admiration béate vis-à-vis d'hommes d'affaires certes très habiles, mais dont la réflexion philosophique et politique ne dépasse pas la surface d'une calculette. Je ne sais pas si je vais lire son livre, par contre, parce qu'il ne vole pas très haut non plus.
Contrairement à ce que semble penser #Sadin, le #fascisme n'a pas disparu en 1945. Il a continué de prospérer grâce aux multiples alliances entre #autoritarisme et#capitalisme. Et le #totalitarisme reste un horizon vers lequel penche une partie importante du monde industriel, notamment du sein de la #SiliconValley. Les #ElonMusk, #JeffBezos, #SamAltman, #KurtisYarvin, ne sont pas des figures marginales. Parler de #technofascisme en référence à leur idéologie est totalement justifié.

You HAVE TO send that email today. Yeah, that one. The one you put off. The one you don’t want to think about.
But you know, nobody is looking.
You could just use ChatGPT.
Or—hear me out—you could suck it up, write the email yourself, and light
