I just want Apple to release RCS already
My question is, what do you count as "doing"?
Imagine I win the lottery and hire really smart architects and tell them to make a revolutionary new building. They go on to make some amazing building that gets all sorts of awards and recognition. Is anyone really so naive as to suggest that I am deserving of any credit whatsoever? In the words of Urkel, "Did I do that?"
There are some leaders in the tech world who have clearly done something. John Carmack did something. Steve Wozniak did something. There are some questionable cases as well. As far as Altman goes, I put him firmly in the same camp as Musk. They haven't done jack shit. I give them no respect, recognition, or credit. They were just wealthy people spending money. I seriously question the people who look at them positively in any way whatsoever.
You're implying that you knew how to hire and identify smart architects and provided them the right vision to build a good building.
There wouldn't be a counterfactual in your hypothetical scenario, but I'm confident that the difference between someone that got lucky and hired "smart" architects versus a visionary doing the same task would be drastic.
Money can only get you so far.
I wonder how comparable this will be to MidJourney and I'm excited to try it out.

In my Big Company (400,000+ employees) it is not permitted to use other systems to host meeting without authorization. Using unapproved software is strictly not allowed. There can be plenty of reasons including business data security, legal data retention, international data privacy laws, licensing agreements, etc.
I remember when Skype was considered controversial because indication of working status and access to employees after business hours was potential a violation of workers rights and privacy laws.
400,000+? I don't mean to question this but that's a crazy high number assuming it's not Amazon or Walmart.
Amazing!
I'm actually curious what the Chess.com statement would be - they seem to have some bombshell that's coming soon. Also curious how Hans' will react to all of this.

This is a terrible tragedy. Shinzo Abe seemed like a good man. I hope he pulls through, though reading the comments here makes it seem less likely.
we should all mourn this tragedy but do not paint this guy as a good man. He is a historical revisionist.

Yeah this is a solid chrome app store kind of solo dev project. 100 employees is absurd.
I think they had a lot of early adopter VC users who really liked it and let their personal bias overwhelm better TAM analysis.
people said that about Honey (just a chrome app store solo dev project) and look how much they got acquired for. Don't underestimate them.
It looks like the bot just beat humans because they react faster
