Sam Altman, the recently fired (and rehired) chief executive of Open AI, was asked earlier this year by his fellow tech billionaire Patrick Collison what he thought of the risks of synthetic biology. ‘I would like to not have another synthetic pathogen cause a global pandemic. I think we can all agree that wasn’t a great experience,’ he replied. ‘Wasn’t that bad compared to what it could have been, but I’m surprised there has not been more global coordination and I think we should have more of that.’
I’m waiting for them to post something relevant to Sam Altman or you know maybe just a general techtake???
I know I’m gonna be disappointed
Couldn’t even be bothered to make some tortured Tolkien, only an oblique reference
Let’s see…
All that is gold does not glitter Not all those who wander are lost The post that is strong does not wither These others’ posting remain a costMerely 3 minutes of idle thought! Imagine how many GPUs I could’ve 10tok/s’d for it! Oh the humanity

Aaand I made that mistake again: I looked at their other posts
Fucking hell.
What did I just read.
(lol their response to being banned was to brag that they have muscles and a girlfriend and were going to go have sex with her, which is the most tween flounce I’ve seen in ages.)
the most arousing words in the English language: “can you believe what they’re saying about me online”
Maybe turn this into a private group if you’re bothered. For whatever reason this thread has appeared on Top Everything, so that’s where your visitors are coming from.
We’re not bothered. We’re bored. Off you go now.
still boggling at the high degree of redditor logic behind “this thread appeared on my screen therefore I’m welcome to post my garbage in it”. I can’t decide if it’s better or worse than the couple of r/SneerClub threads demanding that SneerClub never appear on the poster’s Reddit homepage ever again
