Honestly I have more faith in hacker news users than congress.
I wish more of us would run for Congress. I'd much rather have a government of technocrats of various stripes than ex lawyers and rich business types. IMO governments, like websites, should be boring but effective, focused on small day to day improvements, not all flash and empty marketing chasing cultural trends...
I don't know, while lawyers and MBA's are not who I would choose to run the country, I am not sure the I would pick people with the motto "run fast and break things" in charge either.

#125Frankly, OpenAI seems to be losing its luster, and fast. Plugins were a failure. GPTs are a little better, but I still don't see the product market fit. GPT-4 is still king, but not by that much any more. It's not even clear that they're doing great research, because they don't publish. GPT-5 has to be incredibly good at this point, and I'm not sure that it will be.
> Frankly, OpenAI seems to be losing its luster, and fast. Good. I have no idea what's really going on inside that company but the way the staff were acting on twitter when Altman got the push was genuinely scary, major red flags, bad vibes, you name it, it reeked of it.
What do you mean? How were they acting?
I was surprised and touched by their loyalty, but maybe I missed something you noticed.

> GPT-4 is still king, but not by that much any more Idk, I just tried Gemini Ultra and it's so much worse than GPT4 that I am actually quite shocked. Trying to ask it any kind of coding question ends up being this frustrating and honestly bizarre waste of time as it hallucinates a whole new language syntax every time and then asks if you want to continue with non-working, in fact non-existing, option A or the equall…
Do you have example links?

One of us needs sources, and I think it's you :) > Actually, all three did; the latter was in the form of ARPANET [to be technical, not "The Internet"]. True, but a technicality. Very few people knew they even existed, and they had zero impact on Xerox copier sales.
>Very few people knew they even existed Does not mean they did not exist. See citations, below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_printing (see 2nd intro paragraph) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_email (see 3rd intro paragraph)

#128Unpopular opinion… but IMO almost all of Karpathy’s fame an influence come from being an incredible educator and communicator. Relative to his level of fame, his actual level of contribution as far as pushing forward AI, I’m not so sure about. I deeply appreciate his educational content and I’m glad that it has led to a way for him to gain influence and sustain a career. Hopefully he’s rich enough from that that he c…
What a tone def elitist thing to say, you have no tact.

here was one of them https://gemini.google.com/share/fde31202b221?hl=en
edit: as pointed out, this was indeed a pretty esoteric example. But the rest of my attempts were hardly better, if they had a response at all.
