i mean, i'm glad she's speaking out about it — most people don't know about this kind of poo poo going on — but it has been for literal decades, and definitely didn't start with openai. hell, they weren't even the first to have hundreds of billions of dollars sloshing around in a gross drugged out nerd orgy. in that sense, their integration with microsoft is a good fit

yeah it was mostly just a house with parties where there were no bros and dedicated internet and a bunch of servers which was a big deal before cable and dsl

a lot of the time they were owned by someone who was an early employee somewhere like sun or hp. knock-down bungalows in the valley or santa cruz didn’t cost $2 million 30 years ago and there weren’t a lot of decent apartments. it was less of a thing in the city because you could actually get your own place

e: lots of rpg/board games/lan parties too, basically by 3am people were either playing doom or in a weird fat grope pile in the basement

a lot of the reporting we used to get on this was from places like valleywag. now it's just gauche to report on i guess

lol yeah, pretty much this, and i'm still in my mid 30s. hell most of the stories i've heard from people personally come from people that are, at most, probably 55

i'm sure like 120 years ago j.d. rockefeller or whichever "top of their game" industrialist you wanna pick probably also had some sick poo poo going on around opium dens, maybe rotor has some anecdotes

elon had them kill off the twitter.com domain, so it's likely that has something to do with it

embeds still work for me, and someone in the musk thread noted that "platform.x.com" (which ostensibly serves embeds) actually resolves to "platform.twitter.com" before redirecting back to x.com lol

their server configs are obviously pretty hosed up, even more so than before. i wouldn't be surprised in the least if that were why, and i don't have a lot of confidence in the everything site staff being able to unfuck it
