Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process [by the board]

“god, he’s really cost us… how much can we get back?”

which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board

not only with the board, kids

hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities

you and me both, brother

      the thread is too gigantic to do pull quotes, but the number of poor delusional fucks who’ve decided this must be due to Altman’s business genius (somehow), the birth of an AGI that’s blackmailing the board, that this is just how executive boards normally act, or are just generally arguing that these severely out of touch rich folk must all be acting reasonably and legally in spite of all experience to the contrary is kind of astounding

      You know

      I’ve load tested my fucking still-wordpress blog some years back, and even then I managed to get something like 1600~1700rps out of it without at all trying hard (read: “I think I changed the fpm pool at some point”)

      I am of course not surprised their software is the way it is (subversion commits are dangerous to a man of paulie g’s stature, of course), but it is hilariously recursively poignant: the very site where you may find a number of Weekend Code This-ers who - because of the mere trick of advancement in computing technology - may actually be right (for writing a new orange site)……just couldn’t

      Who said satire is dead?!

      What? This can’t be real? My custom code I cooked last year for a webservice in python is able to run multiprocess by now. How do there people still have high-paying jobs and I am stuggling monthly? goddamn!

        I can’t imagine how bad Arc (the fucking ugly Lisp variant paully g wrote hacker news in) must be if it’s a Racket DSL that can’t use any of Racket’s many threading abstractions

        Because people get paid not for technical output but for popularity of the products they create (And if you don’t own the company then you don’t even get that). bla bla bla capitalism bla bla markets bla bla
