      Inviting Dave Eggers to OpenAI HQ was basically booking a magician and handing him a flamethrower: Still, if your technology can survive a hostile keynote from a famous author, that is probably healthier than another room full of executives applauding a demo.

          What the fuck does this even mean lmao. Is this an argument in support of AI or against it

              It’s not about the AI. It’s about the idea that this author might have been hired with the intention that he do exactly what he did as a way for the people in charge to vet the true feelings/misgivings that the people in the room might have about their brand and their use of AI.

              I don’t think the OC meant to defend or even insult AI.
