fortunately one can just run debugger; to stop it early
I was wondering if they're was some kind of consolidation/buyoff of pro-ad-protection services.
Back in the 1800s, we had this idea called Manifest Destiny. There was a famous painting about it, _American Progress_, painted by John Gast in 1872. It depicts Columbia, bringing civilization and liberty - telegraphs and railroads - for creating a great nation. It was devastating for the Native Americans.
Similar ideas now, though it doesn’t have broad support. People are angry and fighting back against data centers.
Edit: No, the email is blank, so it's just a regular DOS, unless his email is public somewhere and everyone will fill in the same email. Still not very HN, but just bad, not malicious.
I don't feel extremely on either end, but I would prefer if consumers could own their choices and not try to pretend otherwise
In a perfectly free and fair market and in a world where companies would plan their product strategy exclusively based on current consumer data, this would be true. But neither holds in the real world: The current AI gold rush is now something that is largely decided between investors, boardrooms and hardware vendors with little input from small everyday consumers. And I wager this has been the case for many "tech trends" before that seem more forced on users than being a reaction on them - such as forced updates, mandatory accounts, subscriptions, in-app purchases etc.
Or, more likely (since I doubt he's ever going to see one of these emails), to make us feel a bit better about ourselves after Altman said (in effect) that what we want doesn't matter.
I am an old-school guy. I don’t send them emails with unused RAM, I just fax them a printout of the script so they have to physically look at it and remove it before it goes in the trash. Bonus points if you send it to legal. Legal always has a fax machine.
With what people at OpenAI make per hour, every fax costs them thousands of dollars in labor costs, wasting all their precious resources one toner cartridge at a time in the process.
I am just making proper use of all that underutilised toner.
22 direct-dial and 200 speed-dial entries. Broadcast to up to 272 participants. Sexy.
Lots of companies still use Laserfax. dr2200 toner cartridge is 40 bucks for 12k pages.
256 + 16? How do you get a number like that? Some trick with variable-width binary codes?
22 One-Touch numbers + 200 Speed-Dial numbers + 50 manually dialled numbers = 272
If you do not store a Group on any of your Brother machine's One Touch or Speed Dial locations, you can Broadcast a fax to as many as 272 different numbers.
Which comes in especially handy from keeping their SI to exfiltrate via fax to a remote location one baud at a time. You just keep all their landlines busy until the army flattens the building.
It wasn’t nukes or bombs that saved mankind from Skynet. It was a single fax machine keeping all of OpenAIs landlines busy for 25 minutes.

Fucking Cry Harder, AI bros.
EDIT: lmao, and now people are going through my history and rage-downvoting things. Imagine being this fragile.
A single unencrypted point of access is the dream for watching and controlling your life.
That is the centralized API in a nutshell, a single unencrypted point of access.
You have to factor in all the people enjoying that the shitcoin-for-your-iris-scans guy is having his time in the comedy-drubbing barrel. Don't leave us out, we've been waiting a lot longer for this.
FWIW, "anodyne" is not the word I'd reach for when describing things Altman says — I much prefer "banal".
(Not sure you can classify me as a hater, at least not in my day job context. Cynical: it's a fair cop.)
