I haven't been on twitter in over a year but it seems like Musk has transformed it into a powerful platform devoted to proving he's the most embarrassing person who's ever lived.

Oh no the people at the coffee shop complaining about how their adult kids won't use ChatGPT to make their life’s “easier”. I fear this is more common than I’d like to admit
The amount of people in my life desperately trying to get me to use AI to make my art is weirdly high so I guess I knew this

Why should my tax dollars go towards subsidizing a company that is literally known to have a product that successfully convinces desperate and unhappy people to kill themselves? I'd like to know.
“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:

OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout - The American Prospect
For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.
