    Is it just me or is this shithead in full “throw spaghetti at the wall mode”. This is, like, the third dumbass announcement he’s made this week, which seems high, even for him.

    What does AI upskilling even mean? Isnt the premise of AI that you can do everything just with natural language, everybody already knows how to talk/write about what they want. And if they mean AI adjacent things like RAG, then thats just software engineering with API calls wrapped with english prompts, and upskilling software engineering with AI kinda works but we’ve already seen a lot of vibe coded disasters.

      Yes but also “you have to start using AI now or you’ll get left behind”. You expect grifters to be consistent?

      I quit a job last year where they announced they were adding AI use to our performance reviews.

      This AI up skill shit is BS. I don’t need a nanny telling me to use tools that I as the expert should determine the usefulness of.

      At my new job I use AI probably the most in the company. I build MCP tools, I use it to automate things, I’ve deployed it for data cleaning tasks. I just took a 2 week manual review process and built a RAG search engine that reduces that work to an hour of effort.

      I don’t need some C suite jackass pretending they know my job better than me.

    Wait, isn’t openai basically reliant in Microsoft for hosting as well as most of their product offerings? And doesn’t Microsoft own LinkedIn? Or am I out of the loop.

      Yeah they have rights to their IP, a share of the first 100 billion in profit they might hypothetically make one day, and provide most (all, up until jan of this year) of their cloud service. They also oppose OpenAI’s bid to convert to a non-profit by year end, which a huge chunk of their funding is dependent upon. It really a strange play tbh.

      i doubt microsoft cares. they’re going to be competing in the space wherever openAI is hosted, might as well be making money from azure while doing it. Azure probably hosts many companies that compete with microsoft in some way.

      Yeah you’re right about both things, but OpenAI has been looking to decrease its dependence on Microsoft.

    I bet it will be Amazon Mechanical Turk alternative, they will introduce tokens you can earn from job that you can pay out or use for chatting with your beloved model. People will be working for free just to be able to chat with their lover AI. Let’s go and fuck those junkies.
