I stopped reading when I realized you're a cunt. So, a few words in. 🤷‍♂️

Edit: ah what the hell I feel like jumping in on at least the first part. I read that much.

It just goes to show you how very little you understand about the world (which also explains the cuntiness, no doubt) when you can't grasp the notion that many Silicon Valley CEOs are quite chummy with each other. They attend the same parties, restaurants, gyms,, the same book club, even. They sit on each other's boards.

At that, Rippling isn't just another HR startup. It's a unicorn. And well engrained in tech culture.

And as such, that offers the C Suite a certain level of access that can provide the kind of information he could get and carelessly post on Twitter.. because who doesn't like breaking a big story?

This seems like a stretch. GPT might be the most general form of artificial intelligence we’ve seen, but it’s still not an agent, and it’s still not cognitively flexible enough to really be general on a human level.

And just scaling up the existing model probably won’t get us there. Another large conceptual advancement that can give it something like executive function and tiered memory seems like a necessary precondition. Is there any indication at this point that such a breakthrough has been made?
