Incredible how many people are perfectly fine working for a company making AI powered murder bots.

This is a VC site. Morality or changing the world for the better is window dressing on earning as much money as possible and damn anyone who gets in the way. Morality is only good in as much as it’s good for business to be seen as moral. Money people have been majority running things for over 2 decades at least but the mythos lives on.

We have AI companies constantly fear-mongering that their next model is somehow too dangerous to release. But they just continue to go on an acquisition spree.

This just confirms to me that we are no where near AI being able to write any complicated software. I mean, if it could woudln't OpenAI just prompt it into existence? ;)

I've moved most companies away from using others stuff Today we use Hertzner and OVH and roll out our own solution whenever possible. Running lean and mean. Depending on such third party services is a trap.

What software do you use to run your CI?

Not OP, but to me the answer is:

  - gitea
  - woodpecker CI
  - my own docker registry
  - portainer running on my docker swarm

I then define the docker stack in the git repository, and CI builds the images and pushes to build the new image to the docker repository. The portainer API allows to deploy a stack, with the image tag as a parameter.

FTA: > In 2022, we built Tart, which became the most popular virtualization solution for Apple Silicon, along with several other tools along the way. from Tart's github: > [Tart is for] macOS and Linux VMs on Apple Silicon to use in CI and other automations My (naive?) hypothesis is this kind of expertise is why OpenAI chose to acquihire.

Not to sell Tart short (it is quite good), but it's "just" a wrapper around Virtualization.framework with a few extra pieces. This is the kind of thing that Codex driven by experts _should_ be able to build very easily.
