The Facebook CTO is one of those fake lt Colonels the DoD commissioned a while back.
This guy was CTO while Facebook/Meta was burning all that money on the Metaverse. Now they are, as Mr Gerard put it, pivoting to AI, and burning millions there. Those Meta stock options must be really good to work for someone as dumb as this guy.
Plus: He went to Harvard. I guess those schools will take anybody.
In hindsight, it is pretty funny that he called his fund “Situational Awareness” and still lost money.
Maybe someone should start a hedge fund and call it something like, “Maybe This Will All Work Out LLC.” That way there is no disappointment.

Thanks to gen AI, you don’t have to.
Years ago I saw a memorable tweet: Zero Hedge readers upset passing asteroid did not destroy earth.
yet another autodidact with a cushy job in the Effective Altruism grantland
How do I get one of these cushy jobs?
Here is the first sentence: "You can see the future first in San Francisco. "
I feel like I already know everything I need to know about him.
The AI shills would say: Are you still using the models from six months ago? Because the new models are sooo much more powerful.
So far, all of these “model breaches containment” stories have been fake.
But if one actually did, than that would be a signal to drop AI and nuke data centers from orbit.
This is not the genius-level marketing OpenAI thinks it is.
I am tempted to put “doing the bidding of the Antichrist for over 20 years” on my website. Or maybe even my LinkedIn profile.
“I can’t tell you how many billionaires and CEOs have called me in absolute tears about their lives being destroyed by one article.”
I would pay to see a billionaire or CEO in tears over an article.
And if stopping them were that easy, why hasn’t it happened yet?
Could these be added to any project with a different license?
On top of all of that, it just doesn’t work.
The instant you understand the concept of hallucinations should be the instant you are against gen AI.
One thing I have noticed is a lot of AI-bros will brag that they automated workflows, or refactored code with AI. If they were really smart and/or had good processes, they would have done those things without AI a long time ago.
On the other hand, if AI and griftocurrency sink each other, I am fine with that.
I also tried reading the whitepaper, and could not get past the first page. I just kept thinking, “that’s not what happened”, and after about four or five times of thinking that, I just bailed.
The big one was that non-reversible transactions are supposed to be cheaper, yet Bitcoin is a lot more expensive than what we have now
I think it’s hilarious that his twitter handle has “real” at the front. Who would want to pretend to be that guy?
