This is the same Microsoft that had to close down their Twitter AI “Tay” after a single day because it immediately became a “racist asshole” (as per The Verge) in 2016?

The same OpenAI ran by Sam Altman, who just last year was part of a crypto biometric scam called “Worldcoin” that attempted to collect biometric data from some of the worlds poorest in exchange for a shitcoin?

I’m sure they’ve done their due diligence and aren’t just pushing out a broken product as quickly as possible after it went viral because they saw dollar signs…




Everyone on the planet can already talk to racists by typing in 4chan.org. In the meantime, I’ve found ChatGPT useful for learning zsh commands.


I’m pleased you have the privilege to just ignore the potential negative outcomes of this technology, that as per the marketing hype is set to become the new way the world interacts with information, primarily owned by two unsavoury entities who have history failing to protect the most vulnerable.


2016 was 7 years ago. And I completely forgot about that incident. And so did everyone else.

Why wouldn't they? If they bet and win, they significantly disrupt the search market and many others. If they don't, people still don't use Bing. The rest of their business will continue on as is.

It's a no brainer.

Microsoft also?

The GP was responding to a post that said that Microsoft 100% did their due diligence.... I'm unsure to what you are responding.
