> Japan both have basically total CCTV coverage as well,

Japan is nowhere near "total CCTV coverage"


There are a lot of greedy people thinking everyone would die for a bullion. They couldn’t comprehend another way of thinking due to narrow mindset

I wouldn’t want. I have enough. Not everyone is wanting money.

But it is not the point. The point is, when you take high moral ground and talk about bug problems to help humanity, and then your own diary exposes you as avaricious simpleton, the whole high moral ground crumbles. And you expose yourself as another grifter.

That’s what happened to Brockman. Although smart people could see these qualities in altman, brockman etcetera way before that happened


Why can't I want both earning 1B and do good things for the world? Unless his diary directly contradicts what he has said in public (like "I don't care about money"), I see zero moral issues here.

Because goal of earning 1B and doing good for the world are goals having very little overlap.

Unfortunately, this is now 90% of this space and it is now full of grifters which was not the case in 2010.

In the case of OpenAI, there were less grifters and they were dormant in 2016 and many were exposed in 2023 when Sam was fired and rehired afterwards and most of them infiltrated the company after 2023.

In 10 years time, after this upcoming financial crash, you will hear some of the former-employees after 2023 admitting that they were part of the grift and were never interested in AI in the first place.

"OpenAI was nothing without its people" except only if it meant getting a mansion or a yacht for the benefit of h̶u̶m̶a̶n̶i̶t̶y̶ themselves.


Agree. Just that I see the number much north of 90%. You must be a very optimistic person.

If you read comments you can see how many people are oblivious to it. And we can assume people here are fairly educated.

It is incredible to read "I believe company A only!". They need to educate themselves otherwise noone would be able to stop the government machine.


How do you expect them to read it?

On my phone. I assume they get to the cloud via my phone in the first place anyway.

> Apple is the only company worth trusting with it

Wonder what makes you you think so. Care to elaborate? Really hope it's not their ubiquitous ads showcasing how they "treat privacy seriously".


If everyone can delete your prod database via API or by any other means - you need to sack CTO without severance package.

> Don’t do business with Google.

If you think other big tech or bank won't do it for you if you "don't do anything wrong" - you might be delusional.

The only way to fight it is redundancy. Dont vendor lock in all you stuff in aws/google/cf/whatever. They can (and will) fuck you up at some point.


It is a weekly occurrence for large named organisations and Google.

It isn't for other big tech/banks. It's just a risk assessment, and Google are a high risk partner.


Just because you don't see it, it doesn't meant it doesn't happen.

I deal with it daily. If i would start writing, I would spend half day just writing.

It's in no way to say Google is any good - it's just equally bad as any reasonably big organisation. No more and no less.


You should publish some of this, as if this is true and AWS and Azure are banning large organisations without realistic recourse on the same scale it should destroy the cloud service providers.

There is no point in publishing this.

Usually they don't ban large organizations without some prior consultations. SMEs are victims usually. AWS/Azure and sorts know there will be no public recourse so they can cut without any notice. It's same with banks - if you are big enough they won't suspend you, but if you are SME they can suspend in a moment without any legitimate reason. They can suspend and say their "risk assessment team is looking at it" which is BS excuse knowing how banks work. At same time your contractors couldn't be paid and you can't receive money yourself.

I don't have an answer on how to solve that besides putting in law that any service provider vital for company operations (bank, telco, etc) shouldn't suspend or limit service rendering without court order. This is rather unrealistic and won't hit legislation because of same big organization lobby.


And it is sad some people are thinking Karpathy or Karp are persons of any benevolence.

> This is success

For who?


The company looking to solve these problems

What problems?

Manually having to do these things while taking 10x longer to do them.
