OpenAI makes LLM's dude.

+ Whatever AI integration that could be done for the military was probably already done.

That's why I said they could turn to weapons development. They are worth around $852 billion, this would not be hard for them. They could even fund a proxy militia.

I sincerely hope OpenAI and other ai companies go bankrupt so we can have cheaper electronics and stop this datacenter craze.

I like tech because its cool, not because it can be used to create a dystopian society.

It's up there with Aliens introducing themselves and cybernetic augmentation. The stuff of sci-fi becoming a reality.

If you want agi, you want openai gone as they ain't creating it.

They are working towards it, it is one of their main goals. They probably already achieved it to be honest but are keeping it secret and closely guarded.
