So he fired the Nanny in favor if chat GPT?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

wow, getting desperate with the marketing over there.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Presumably he means the financial success of chatgpt paid for the coterie of staff he employs to look after the child he never sees.

The latest doublespeak for oligarch

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't think of a single thing I would trust chat gpt with, especially when it come to my kids.

I'm trying to rationalize what you could even ask it that's not a single Google search away with a forum or blog post written by (hopefully) human fucking beans who have gone through the same thing you're experiencing and figured it out.

For every parenting question you have there's 100 different answers, at least 20 of them are reasonable, pick one of those 20 and figure it out.

While writing this I tried something. Chat gpt told me a 4 month old needs around 14 ounces of milk in a day if their breast feeding. Which is about half the actual number. I think the recommendation is ~25 /day, my kid drinks ~30. If I gave him 14 a day I think he'd learn how to walk just to kill me.

All that really says is its inconsistent

"Those first few weeks it was constantly," he says of his tendency to consult ChatGPT on childcare.

Dude, I wouldn't trust ChatGPT for plant care 😂

Why would you admit you're a complete moron like that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Because other complete morons will now buy the product?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I would do it if it got me a million dollars

Put that child in a foster home before he abuses it even more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Come on lol, that’s obviously hyperbolic

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Why is this a "come on lol". In what world is what Sam Altman doing responsible?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Jesus crist, this guy is lucky he even has a child, unless he used ChatGPT for that too :D

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Altman: "How does one have a baby?"

ChatGPT: "You see, when a mommy and daddy love each other..."

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

This guy's kid is going to be so fucked up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

We have mistaken rationality for a philosophy rather than a methodology, and efficiency for a virtue without any particular end in mind.

To have a unique, personal, subjective, divergent human experience is to sin against your prescribed algorithm.

Ok, guys, at least Mr Sam is wannabe Steve Jobs and not wannabe a Hitler's orange hair twin

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is he admitting ignorance to something that literally tens of billions of people have done, including people who can't read and never knew what a computer was, or even how to make fire? This is the guy who we should trust with making an "artificial intelligence"?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

To be fair, programmers don't make great dads, it's rather hard to program your kid

Dr Skinner enters the chat

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

what a fucking useless human.

I vote we start calling me Elon Jr.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

If he literally knew nothing and was worried for his child he could have hired a well paid live-in nursemaid and forgotten about the money it cost the next half hour.

Instead he used his child as an experiment.

“Hey dad, are you proud of me?”

“I’m proud of the value you created for me and the shareholders.”

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

so he's an idiot, got it

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

then why even have a baby? the joy of caring for that child--of experiencing fatherhood--is a big reason for having babies.

not taking steps to learn how to be a father is like buying a hog and slapping training wheels on it. you're never going to get to really enjoy that ride.

It just goes to show. Financial success doesn't equal a good person (or parent, in this case)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure it's an inverse correlation or maybe a bell curve with some outliers on either end.
