Hey do y’all remember when Boeing fucking killed a guy last year. And we all said “huh I guess Boeing fucking killed a guy” and then went on with our lives. And everybody knew that Boeing had fully just fucking executed a guy and nothing came of it. Like there was no police investigation no justice no nothing. Like literally EVERYBODY knew that Boeing had full on murdered a guy to silence him and there wasn’t any consequences for them. Kinda crazy.

and there was even less talk when openai did the exact same thing more recently

So for those who are, very understandably uninitiated on this story:

On 23 October last year (2024) the New York Times published an interview with former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji who worked on organising and gathering data for OpenAI until 2022 when he begun thinking about the morality of it. He eventually came to the conclusion that what OpenAI is doing blatantly violates copyright law and decided to leave the company altogether in August 2024.

After he came out with this accusation he was set to appear in court to testify against OpenAI’s data-gathering practices, something which had the potential of being a complete disaster for the company and the generative AI industry as a whole.

That was until 26 November, just days before he was due to appear in court, when he suddenly and mysteriously was found dead inside his own apartment. Investigators concluded that the death was self-inflicted, something which his family has disputed.

There was also “sign of struggle in the bathroom and looks like someone hit him in the bathroom based on blood spots”, and his apartment showed signs of having been ransacked for evidence: “The pin drive is missing. His computer was messed up.”.

Overall it feels pretty clear-cut what happened, that is to say that OpenAI had him killed because he was a legitimate threat to their business, indicating that they are fully aware that the way they’re gathering data is completely illegal.

very disappointing when someone says "the bird app" and for one lovely moment I think they are talking about Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab, the free app that allows you to identify birds by appearance or sound, make a list of birds you have seen, and explore all the birds native to your region.... and then I realize they are talking about twitter.

The flashback in ‘The Mother’ was extremely good storytelling, and I want to defend the narrative it delivers to the audience because I keep seeing people on TikTok demanding Marvel-esque action and rapid bouncing from plot point to plot point rather than good, thoughtful writing.

Spoilers below:

The first line Dunk ever hears his master say is, “In the name of the Mother, leave that boy alone.” Then, Dunk went on to go to trial for defending the innocent against a Targaryen in the name of the Mother. The Trial of Seven is inherently meant to decide who the gods favor.

When Egg was yelling at Dunk to get up, Dunk seemed dead until the memory of his master roused him. He saw his master, who saved him as a child while invoking the name of the Mother, telling him to get up. Showing us his backstory implies that the gods favored him during the trial for carrying on his master’s legacy, defending the innocent in the name of the Mother.

The Faith of the Seven seems like one of the weakest religions we encounter in Westeros, but the narrative structure of this episode indicates that there might actually be validity to the gods’ favor in the Trial of Seven.
