Despite the industry's deeply ingrained neophilia, I think it speaks to the importance of backwards compatibility and legacy systems.

I can't help but think that the genAI craze will end up being a regrettable side-quest along the path to "coding for non-programmers" akin to Visual Basic. But hey, I bet there's a lot more legacy VB apps being kept alive out there than anyone would be comfortable with.

Altman is certainly aware of what it takes to be a Jobs-like marketing personality (and probably holds Hubbard-like totalism as a not-so-secret ambition), he's just not, uh, very good at it. He's put the most effort into the strictly lower-case, faux-casual persona on Twitter to seem "approachable" in a social media context, and that doesn't help him at all when trying to actually appear serious.

I also don't doubt that he's beginning to succumb to the yes-man filter bubble that traps so many public personalities. That's surely made worse by the likelihood that any underlings he might have reviewing this crap are drinking the AI koolaid and "punching everything up!" with a few rounds of ChatGPT.

I feel like Newsweek has been vaguely pro-Trump / at the very least "both sides" clickbait since their last buyout. So it's very impressive that they're willing to publish straightforward information that Bitcoin is a thin, highly manipulated market. Bravo!

Jobs is Tech Jesus, but Antennagate is only recorded in one of the apocryphal books

It could also be swapped out for nothing. The people in charge could figure out that this stuff is costing more than it's making, turn the servers off, and deactivate the user-facing features or leave them as vestigial stubs.

There's more evidence right now for that scenario, and it would generate an awful lot of e-waste. Tell me, are you up to date on process improvements for recycling or repurposing that much e-waste?

what if I continually remind it to be flatulent instead? has anyone tried that?

Do you think they will manage to issue a coherent Incredible Journey post before their mugshot turns up in their local newspaper?

At the very least, the supply chain of meth is likely to be more robust than the supply chain for GMO mouth bacteria.
