It's a question of liability.
OpenAI wants zero liability.
But clearly the answer is a non-zero value. I don't see how they aren't 100% liable when it's their employees who execute the process.
They are starting and running their own machinery. The industry likes to pretend software is some intangible but as hardware prices have demonstrated, software is very much physical. And it's not narrative, it's instructive.
because americans love criminals
Rich criminals. Fuck the guy getting 15 years for stealing bread.
Most of us don’t
but hey don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story
And yet most of you couldn't even be arsed to take a step against a criminal convicted rapist to be elected as your president.
Sorry but that "most of us don't" argument falls short when you don't even do your basic civic duties to get rid of criminals.
You just haven’t the slightest clue, huh? I remember grade school…
This shithouse argument again.
They’re right, and they know more than you think. Especially when 30% of your voter base prove it every election.
Fun fact, people voted. If all legally cast votes had been counted, Harris would have won with 285 electoral votes.
Voter suppression won, not Trump.

Neat, so you still went to work and acted like normal after you believed democracy was subverted
The other option is starving and then being shot by the most militarized police force in the world, while nothing actually changes.
They can’t achieve their goals if they kill their own workforce
You’re not even making any sense. Just big talk from a small mind
What are you talking about? They are replacing their workforce with ai. Not that it’s really working out for them but they are deffo doing it.
True, but also you can't do anything if you're dead, and these fucks are not the most competent, but they are violent and willing to cut off their own nose to spite their face.
They would totally kill their own work force, thinking they could just replace them, until there's no one left. And further, they have the guns and bodies to do it.
Voter turnout was abysmal. 64.3%. Less than 2/3 of the country bothered to even vote.
Don't tell me that people voted when a third of those with the right to vote didn't bother to go and fill a fucking ballot.
You don't seem to understand voter suppression.
Yeah. It’s an excuse you use, like a few others
Ones you don’t afford countries that genuinely have voter suppression
The very article you quoted accounts for ~10 million votes.
The remaining 34% who didn't vote is approximately 80 million people.
So we're still at a point where 70 million where content with whatever happened. 70 million didn't even bother to stand up and cast their votes.
(oh, and that's not accounting for the shift the voter suppression would cause in the count of "eligible for voting" people).
And had even half those turned out, it would have been much harder to fix the vote result
You still don’t understand voter suppression
This is so confidently incorrect it’s hilarious
