    ok, I don’t see why you could not create something “useless” if that’s all you need to get funding… openAI didn’t have microsoft. startups that have “useless” ideas don’t “have people” either. they have innnovations (or useless ideas according to you) . Most people with an opinion on the topic should be able to understand the value of word2vec and form an opinion on the vailidty of your perspective.

      Sam Altman was a college dropout who got $30 million in startup funds for his first app that failed and only went on to sell it for more than he raised for it. OpenAI wasnt founded in a vacuum he was already a former ceo 3 times over by the time he was handed the position for working at the investment group that had the money funding OpenAI. Of course they want it to sound revolutionary because they want to make their money back on the investment.

      You are ignoring the whole, Rich people with networked contacts, part of the argument that i literally said last comment. Start-ups absolutely have people. That’s how they succeed is people with networking.

      And then you conclude without stating your own opinion but that of the conglomerate of indoctrination. You are sold on the church of AI. And the idea is oversold.

        ClosedAI didn’t invent word2vec. There are so many examples of innovation being driven or enabled by capitalism that it’s really strange that people assert capitalism cannot innovate and when given examples they reject then. Are mrna vaccines also useless?

          Holy crap you keep changing the subject. You said GPT was the innovation then word2vec now mRNA. I’m simply calling out that the “AI” you held up as innovative is just a fancy auto complete that relies on cheap labor to actually make it work behind the curtain. I didnt say word2vec was made by anyone just not that useful.
          And also science is not driven by capitalist needs of a hot subject like AI but on actual real world usefulness. Those advanced vaccination processes have been worked on by any and every government ever to help keep their populace healthy as long as they have the means. It isnt capitalism to want to save lives but it is to try and pretend your search engine is better now and help your partners sell bigger computer equipment.

          You are so transparent, and just as substantial as mist. You have no base other than what you need to win an argument. You waver on your points and dont hold any value to your own words. Talking to you is like talking to an AI bot. Pointless. You only get basic thought that can only regurgitate what it already has been told. You lack context and comprehension.

            you keep changing the subject. the claim is that “capitalism cannot innovate” I give clear obvious examples and you keep rejecting them on the basis of your lack of understanding on the topic. i.e. you say word2vec is useless or somehow related to openAI. the vaccines might be more in your domain knowledge since you didn’t call them useless and try to confuse the topic. I’m not here to educate you so if you use ignorance as an argument I’m just going to point it out and move on.

            to claim that you can’t have innovation with capitalism anymore is not even related to claiming that you need capitalism to innovate. are you really that extremist in your reasoning? it’s either completely useless or absolutely required?

            I guess i should not waste my time with you and you can keep your loser/doomer mentality.
