Seeing news that OpenAI are planning to file an IPO fairly soon reminds of this quote by
@edzitron.com
that lives in my brain from ALMOST A YEAR AGO! a short factoid that succinctly points out how OpenAI's "path to profitability" is utter bollocks.

Is anyone else doing the minimum in their job as a resistance to the world being controlled by the unashamedly stupid and/or blatantly fascist? Everything is broken, genocide is normal, and AI isn't going to fix anything. Those KPIs will not be reached before the next staff appraisal interview.
