Sam Altman, the recently fired (and rehired) chief executive of Open AI, was asked earlier this year by his fellow tech billionaire Patrick Collison what he thought of the risks of synthetic biology. ‘I would like to not have another synthetic pathogen cause a global pandemic. I think we can all agree that wasn’t a great experience,’ he replied. ‘Wasn’t that bad compared to what it could have been, but I’m surprised there has not been more global coordination and I think we should have more of that.’

    You appear to be lost. Have you checked the sideboard for instructions?

      I’m waiting for them to post something relevant to Sam Altman or you know maybe just a general techtake???

      I know I’m gonna be disappointed

        Couldn’t even be bothered to make some tortured Tolkien, only an oblique reference

        Let’s see…

        All that is gold does not glitter
        Not all those who wander are lost
        The post that is strong does not wither
        These others’ posting remain a cost
        

        Merely 3 minutes of idle thought! Imagine how many GPUs I could’ve 10tok/s’d for it! Oh the humanity

        e: fuck you lemmy, give me newlines

              the most arousing words in the English language: “can you believe what they’re saying about me online”

        Maybe turn this into a private group if you’re bothered. For whatever reason this thread has appeared on Top Everything, so that’s where your visitors are coming from.

          We’re not bothered. We’re bored. Off you go now.

            still boggling at the high degree of redditor logic behind “this thread appeared on my screen therefore I’m welcome to post my garbage in it”. I can’t decide if it’s better or worse than the couple of r/SneerClub threads demanding that SneerClub never appear on the poster’s Reddit homepage ever again
