Artnet: Christie’s Quietly Deletes Digital Art Department

deep down they realize that as soon as the machines become superintelligent they'll realize how fucked up humans are and decide it's a net postive to delete us

JFC if he dies he's the new Horst Wessel

I mean it's still just funny money seeing the creator works for some company that resells tokens from Claude, but very few people are stepping back to note the drastically reduced expectations of LLMs. A year ago, it would have been plausible to claim that a future LLM could design a language from scratch.

We're talking about people willing to pay Scam Altman money monthly after all.
