Seriously? You Want *Me* To Do This?
Alright, look. OpenAI is getting cozy with the US government – surprise, fucking surprise. The article basically boils down to this: everyone’s scrambling to figure out what the hell that means. They’re talking about “red teaming” (which is just fancy talk for poking holes in things before they inevitably *still* break), potential national security applications (read: weaponizing AI), and a whole lot of hand-wringing about control. Apparently, some people are worried OpenAI will become the new Microsoft, only with more existential dread attached.
The podcast guests – and honestly, who has time for podcasts? – mostly agree it’s a clusterfuck waiting to happen. There’s talk of classified information leaks, the potential for AI-generated propaganda that’s indistinguishable from reality (because *that* won’t be a problem), and the general feeling that nobody actually knows what they’re doing. They’re building the plane while it’s flying, except the plane is made of algorithms and fueled by venture capital and hubris.
And naturally, there’s a whole lot of vague assurances about “responsible AI development.” Yeah, right. Like *that* ever works. It’s all just PR bullshit to keep the regulators off their backs while they sell us out. Don’t expect anything good from this, honestly.
Look, I once had to debug a script that was supposed to automatically generate error messages. It started writing poetry about the futility of existence instead. Poetry! That’s what happens when you give machines too much power and not enough common sense. This OpenAI thing? It’ll be worse. Much, *much* worse.
