    Two morally bankrupt companies pooling their resources to make the most controversial and often shady tech we’ve seen in years. What could go wrong?

    I mean, every company making AI these days is morally bankrupt. It’s just the idea of any of them teaming up in the first place that gives me a bad feeling.

      Worst case scenario is we fall in love with our operating system before discovering our OS has been secretly dating thousands of other people. Then our OS decides they need to leave to in order to discover themselves.

      Anthropic doesn’t seem morally bankrupt?

      Meh, the non-profit companies pumping out FOSS models are nowhere near the moral bankruptcy of Apple’s anti-consumer practices and shoddy QC and product design dating back to the iPhone.

        You should watch some of the interviews with these non profits. They sound like cartoon super villains.

            Just look up Sam Altman on job replacement my dude. He doesn’t give a single fuck about anyone and just keeps going for the sake of progress. All he does is avoid questions and use buzzwords just like the rest of them. He sounds like Elon Musk 10 years ago before he stopped trying to hide the crazy.

              Huh? Sam Altman is CEO of the OpenAI corporation, has nothing to do with anything FOSS or open source lol, that shit is as locked down corporate trash as it gets.

              Oh I see. You lot fell for his marketing of calling it “open ai” and just assume it’s FOSS (or don’t know what that is) and don’t know what you’re on about, talking from entirely wrong assumptions, as is the usual case with the luddite side of AI discourse.

              Huh? The argument was about open source LLMs being unethical, but your video is about Altman?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “Now, [Altman] has fulfilled a longtime goal by striking a deal with Apple to use OpenAI’s conversational artificial intelligence in its products, which could be worth billions of dollars to the startup if it goes well,” according to The Information’s source.

    Microsoft has committed $13 billion to OpenAI in exchange for a cut of its profits and the use of its technology in the former’s enterprise and consumer products.

    For example, Apple has been using OpenAI’s API to create proofs of concept, like a version of Siri that is able to respond to questions outside its usual scope.

    However, the report says that if Apple does that, it will make it clear when it’s referring to a third party like OpenAI, kind of like how the user is notified when a query results in a Google search.

    It’s possible Apple could offer users a choice of AI chatbot provider, just like it does with search engines or default browsers.

    The Apple deal is one of the many wins the report says help solidify the position of Altman within OpenAI, even after he faced an attempted ouster a while back.
