like we collectively learned the wrong lesson from it.

OpenAI has reportedly fired safety executive Ryan Beirmeister, whose title at the company was VP of product policy. According to the Wall Street Journal, which broke the story, Beirmeister was told her firing was related to sexual discrimination against a male colleague.

“The allegation that I discriminated against anyone is absolutely false,” Beiermeister told the journal in a statement.

According to anonymous sources who spoke to the Journal, The firing, which apparently occurred in early January, came after Beirmeister had stated her opposition to the ChatGPT adult mode (or erotica mode?) Sam Altman announced in October of last year. Beirmeister was also, according to the Journal, the creator of an internal “peer-mentorship” group for women at OpenAI.

You can say the real means of production aren't anything material, but the skills, and knowledge of how to make things. And, like, the US just gave it all up willingly because it "makes economic sense" and makes the rich more money. Now they (the US) don't even know how to make new stuff anymore.

Edit: clarify who i meant by "they", thought it was unambiguous.
