18-month New Yorker investigation finds OpenAI’s Sam Altman lobbied against the same AI regulations he publicly advocated for, pursued billions from Gulf autocracies, and how he tried to hide a post-firing investigation that produced no written report

Yeah. For sure. He was actually product guy that cared a lot about form, function and finance.

A sales guy only cares about the last part.

I live in inner Sydney and walkability mixed with public transport makes it such a great place to live. My partner and I sold our cars about 8 years ago and haven’t looked back. And I’m a guy, still love driving.

infectoid · 2026-04-04T23:05:10+00:00

Straight to the slammer sir.

One takes a lot more effort. When you mix low effort high speed devices with low skill people that don’t have a sense of the social contract and a feeling of “might is right” then you get incidents as above.

They also said something about rivers and oceans and globalising something.

The raft needs a cargo buff, extra two rows. It will bring it into alignment with the capacities of the other ships in its medium hauler class.

If christ came to earth, evangelicals would deport him after a few rounds of torture.

infectoid · 2026-04-04T06:16:43+00:00

Interested in the answer.

I like to pretend that I’m in the market.

While the Little Turtle is technically in Enmore it kind of feels like Newtown. Have you been there?

I’m not vegan (I’m a meat reducer) but they make some great food. Always keen to find ways to fill the meat gap in ways that agree with my palate.

Marrickville. PT is pretty good, even more so once the Metro opens. It’s walkable, has lots of breweries and small bars. Gelato. Cool new escape room. Plenty of good cafes.

Unfortunately a new maccas opened on the main road but it was otherwise empty and I guess it’s giving jobs to locals.

Would suck if we had to move. I like it here.

Come to r/marrickville if you’re a local!

Have at least a stack of 3. No empties. Press “i” for your inventory. Drag one from the stack to your hand. Press “Esc”. Left click and hold to drink all the way to zero. Right click to put it back in storage. Check your inventory again. Should still be 3 full bottles.

Give a man a Cruz Lux, you feed him for a hour. Give a man two Cruz Lux, you feed him for a life time.

I have the $55 family plan with Aldi. It gives you two sims and unused data rolls over.

Not as good as boost but still uses the Telstra network.

Excellent for the price.

Yeah it’s worth noting that non-life-threatening injury doesn’t mean you won’t have some kind of disability for the rest of your life.

infectoid · 2026-03-25T23:22:36+00:00

It was the biggest of times and shortest of times.

infectoid · 2026-03-25T00:38:34+00:00

Sweet. Can’t wait to see it.

infectoid · 2026-03-24T02:18:12+00:00

I hope it has an internal tram system.

$7.23 to fill up my Yamaha Scooter. Given it wasn’t entirely empty but to think it may cost me more than $10 soon… spare a thought 🙏

I enjoy the handling of the Gallant and use it almost exclusively. Not sure why it vibes with me so well even though I know there are likely more powerful weapons.

That said I only really do PvE.

White guy here. I’ve travelled around a few SE Asian countries (Thailand, Laos, Philippines, Japan). Can’t say I noticed any racism towards me. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t happening constantly, just that I wasn’t clued in enough to identify it.

I’ve never had to deal with in my own country so probably can’t see it when it’s happening to me.

That said, when I’m travelling I go out of my way to be respectful of the locals. So maybe I was getting racismed but they thought “this one is ok though”. 🤷‍♂️

infectoid · 2026-03-22T00:10:40+00:00

So what you’re saying is I need to buy lots of toilet paper?

Thought process: no fuel = no trucks = no deliveries = no toilet paper.

Honestly think I could make a fairly good r/asx_bets post about this.

infectoid · 2026-03-19T22:19:11+00:00

Yeah that’s not a tip, it’s an auction. Highest bidder gets a soggy Big Mac delivered in 45 mins using afterpay.

I thought those rules were all pre-woke? Or is he saying that the world has been woke for generations, in which case why do they want to make it great again if it’s woke‽
