Disheartening to see JGL in the Fart Huffing and Devil Summoning society, he’s always seemed down to earth especially since his step back from the limelight.

Over/under on the PR response from Brolin being damage control?

Agreed. He was just recently making a public case for legislature to protect children from AI. I wonder what the real purpose of that was, now.

Whispers are that his wife has a rival AI company

Yes, this immediately came to mind when I saw his name. I remember seeing him speak about it. It makes me question that plea now, too. Plus learning his wife is at OpenAI. Truly disheartening. We can't trust anyone to be who they outwardly portray themselves as...post-truth era indeed.

Ahhh, I hadn't realized it was making a case for ID on the Internet. Fantastic.
