OpenAI CFO: Automate Real Problems, Not Your Grandma's Cat Pics
OpenAI's financial whiz Sarah Friar laid down some woke wisdom on CNBC, saying firms need to pivot hard towards 'real-world problems' instead of chasing pointless AI dreams. She advocates for automating the tough stuff, especially in finance, and securing secret data treasure troves locked away in universities and companies. Friar bluntly noted, 'It sounds really trite, but sometimes I think people try to solve problems that don't really exist in the world.' The hunt for exclusive data is so fierce, Anthropic even flirted with piracy but got slapped down legally. Pro-tip: keep your AI woke and lawful.
