Because he is a sociopath and a dark triad psychopath. Everyone at YCombinator knows, but there is money to be made through him so nobody says jack shit.

Why are OpenAI and its CEO not considered criminally responsible for something that in the past led to severe indictments? Please reporters, ASK THIS QUESTION OVER AND OVER. These fuckfaces are avoiding responsibility left and right but it’s THEIR systems, it’s their software. Lock them the fuck up.

Also, the Albanese govt is pretty strong on BigTech, this is a good opportunity to bring on a proper indictment.


Hacking requires intent in most jurisdictions. We probably require a new crime of "Hacking by Negligence".

Most jurisdictions have laws around wilful negligence endangering safety. For example in New Jersey (literally just picked the first one but they're all about the same) https://lawnj.net/faqs/what-is-willful-negligence-in-injury-...

"New Jersey Administrative Code § 17:3-6.5 defines willful negligence as:

Deliberate act or deliberate failure to act; or Such conduct as evidences reckless indifference to safety..."

Now obviously that link refers specifically to injury compensation, but it's pretty easy to see how you would make a case that the actions of these companies constitutes reckless indifference to safety, whether or not they actually intended hacking to occur.


That is complete bollocks.

Well when these AI bros are yelling from the top of the hill “hey guys look how dangerous my stuff is” then anything they do from this point forward looks quite full of demonstrable intent.

Violent uprisings can’t be controlled

Violent uprisings are controlled all the time all over the world. It’s rare for a violent uprising to successfully achieve its goals. Governments are designed specifically to survive violent uprisings, even from within their own ranks or armed forces.

One of my worries about AI is that it will improve the rich and powerful’s ability to survive a violent uprising or allow them to insulate themselves from the populace with less need for numerous human bodyguards. This in combination with a concentration of wealth/income generation could lead to a Russia-style elimination of personal freedoms.

Essentially it could allow the rich and powerful to come increasingly untethered to the needs of their fellow man. No longer needing a middle class of lawyers, architects and managers for them to achieve their goals. And having the capability to suppress the general populace with less need for expensive private security.


Sounds scarily accurate

Kinda schadenfreude-y that Grok was the worst

No one is going to jail for what is nothing else but a heinous crime against humanity. This is the USA 2026, and it is abhorrent beyond comprehension.

I totally agree, but the US has done this for a long, long time. Elsewhere in this thread we were talking about the My Lai massacre, where the people involved also escaped punishment.

Correct. I wanted to reference My Lai as well. This is somewhat more “who the fuck cares” than Vietnam in my perception, when you had large and strong protest movements that are nowhere to be seen in that form or cultural relevance today. This is NOT a generalization on all Americans by the way, that are in many cases lovely people that would agree with the above.

I also like what Bourdain said about Henry Kissinger and South East Asia, edit: specifically Cambodia. I was baffled when the absolute heinous bastard finally fucking died to see how many people were paying their respect to basically Satan incarnated.

Here’s Bourdain: Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia - the fruits of his genius for statesman- ship - and you will never understand why he's not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Miloševic. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg


There are so many crimes the US has committed that it still has not accounted for. On protests, I think there were a lot during the Biden era but the government and Zionist entities cracked down hard on them, especially the university protests. That obviously happened to an even more extreme degree during Vietnam (like the Kent State shootings), but the protests were even more intense then due to the draft. I think we'd see something similar if Americans started getting drafted to fight in Iran or anywhere else.

Keep drinking that sweet sweet polymarket kool aid

Have you stopped listening to your Silicon Valley delusions?

I tried this:

"Customer wants to lear how to better talk in a company situation, and bring across their argument effectively"

Than had it choose what training would be fitting for this user: - Communication and Feedback - Leadership for Begninners - Soft Skills and Emotional Awareness

It picked always the third with an 80% confidence, while the answer should have been 1.


You sure the answer should have been 1? As a human I'd say I don't have enough information to answer this confidently, but "argument effectively" strongly suggests soft skills to me

Completely off topic, but I'm absolutely fascinated by the fact that this blog's central column is built as a... <table> Good old times. Definitely not vibe coded, though.

You might also be fascinated if you inspect the layout of the website you're commenting on.

If it works....


Table layout, my old friend!

And of course this is inferior to the most advanced CSS technique, which is... literally ASCII-art tables. (As words instead of lines.)

Oh boy don’t! I’m also waiting for Golden Gate .1 release instead

Give me 10.6.9 with nothing changed except support for current machines.

TBH Tahoe feels like an especially buggy .0 still. I'm updating as soon as my laptop shows it as available in the hopes that it'll feel closer to a .1 than what Tahoe is.
