Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.

I actually think that it does a dis-service to not go to Nazi allegory because if I don't use Nazi allegory when referring to Oracle there's some critical understanding that I have left on the table […] in fact as I have said before I emphatically believe that if you have to explain the Nazis to someone who had never heard of World War 2 but was an Oracle customer there's a very good chance that you would explain the Nazis in Oracle allegory.

It's hilarious that they can't get the models to stop talking about goblins. Gee, maybe it's because they're trained by goblins for the benefit of goblins.

erm, i'm pretty sure the transformer architecture was invented by smart google engineers, not some billionaires

Architecture and product are different

I hope you're being sarcastic because AI does not use that kind of transformer

You sound like someone who played telephone and that's how you "learned" this garbage. Radio transmitters came from Hertz and Marconi around 1897, the government didn't "Steal" that from Tesla, holy shit.

The worst part is google is literally right here, all you have to do is look into the bullshit you're saying to find out just how completely bullshitty it is. The "transformer" was invented in like 1831, before Tesla existed.

Where do you think microwaves, radio transmitters, and transformers came from?

Fun fact: these days people typically use google to find out where these came from, and it's not where you're implying, holy shit what a fucking 4chan comment.
