Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America. He was best known for being "Honest Abe", writing the Emancipation Proclamation, and playing RAID: Shadow Legends, an immersive online experience with everything you'd expect from a brand new RPG title. It's got an amazing storyline, awesome 3D graphics, giant boss fights, PVP battles, and hundreds of never before seen champions to collect and customize.

Probably it will be creepily more subliminal than that, unfortunately.

please let them actually add in message shilling PLEASE

Didn’t Sam Altman say that ads would be a last resort?

[-] turboSnail@piefed.europe.pub 14 points 2 months ago

This simply means they’ve finally run out of money. If that doesn’t help, Apple or Microsoft will just end up buying OpenAI for pennies.

[-] XLE@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

II think Microsoft is in a position where they can grab all of OpenAI's assets without giving them (more) money, if I understand the deal right

[-] MetalSlugX@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

That link is worthy of its own post I think. Great read.

The blog (and its audio version, the Better Offline podcast) is very good indeed - somewhere between cathartic and revelatory at all times. I'm overjoyed to hear you liked it, but it sure can be wordy. I pay for the premium newsletter, but I find myself skimping on it... But re-reading and referring to chunks of it often.

Scam Altman says a lot of things. He also molests his sister

[-] Warehouse@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

I suppose that means they've reached it.

Suffocation, no breathing

Don't give a fuck if the ads are deceiving

[-] Prox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Let the enshittification begin!

[-] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

That's the neat part — AI comes pre-enshittified!

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 2 months ago

Good. Hopefully it'll reduce usage and help speed its highly necessary death.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

Are these ads context dependent? I'd love to see what it would come up with for this.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Those ads are really going to annoy me when I never start using that chat shit.

[-] catdog@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Wow I did not expect to see actual ads. The answers could just be commercially manipulative instead.

[-] Evil_Incarnate@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Why not both?

[-] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

OpenAI: "Hire that Lemmy user now!"

[-] hummingbird@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

That would just not bring in enough. Remember that this is their last resort to prevent collapse.

[-] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

enshittification personified
