Good afternoon LPs,
Let me break down what the fuck is happening in tech through tweets. Here’s what we cover:
OpenAI Is In trouble w/ Scarlet Johansson
French AI Startup With Dumb Name Raises $220M Seed Round
Microsoft Will Record EVERYTHING You Do On Your Computer
Let’s get into it.
OpenAI Is In trouble w/ Scarlet Johansson
Scarlett Johansson releases statement on OpenAI copying her voice for ChatGPT
• Sam Altman tried to hire her for the voice last September — she said no
• Was 'shocked' and 'angered' they used a voice so similar to hers
• Had to hire lawyers — which led to the voice being… x.com/i/web/status/1…

OpenAI is under fire again this week after they reportedly used Scarlet Johansson's voice for their AI assistant, Sky. Sam Altman defended the company's actions, stating, “I had no idea, all women sound the same to me”.
The Jabroni Capital team finds this wildly offensive. Last year before I resigned from my board position at OpenAI, I recommended the company hire Tyler Perry to voice Sky.
Unfortunately, their top engineers couldn’t get Sky to stop saying, ‘Hell to the no’ and ‘Oh lordie, I can’t even’.

if Tyler voiced Sky, OpenAI would easily be worth $2.5B more

I’m sure you uncultured fucks who read the newsletter don’t know this, but in France they don’t pronounce the letter H. Which means these Baguette loving tech dorks gave their own company NO NAME and proceeded to raise a $220M seed round from billionaires and venture capitalists.
If these frog eating cowards can raise $220M for a 1 letter AI startup. Then if I name my next startup after the longest word in the dictionary, ‘pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis’ we’ll raise $9.9B in our first round of funding.

Microsoft Records EVERYTHING You Do On Your Computer
Microsoft announces "Recall" AI for Windows 11, a new feature that runs in the background and records everything you see and do on your PC: windowslatest.com/2024/05/20/mic…#Windows11

Microsoft announced that their AI copilot will automatically record and ‘recall’ EVERYTHING that users do on their laptop.
I should have known that when Bill Gates called Microsoft's operating system Windows, his ultimate goal was to literally watch people jerk off.
On an unrelated note, I’ve thrown my laptop in the ocean & have downgraded to using scrolls & quills. If you want to reach me, you can send a carrier pigeon to my unpaid intern Jeff.

The plan:
Stay in stealth for 6 years
Raise $250M
Ship a v1
Get bad reviews
Try to sell the company 3 weeks later

Song of the Day
Here’s the song of the day. This song is both incredible and the title is another signature Tyler Perry catchphrase.
I’d love your feedback on what sort of content you’d like to see or how you think I could improve :)
That’s all for this week folks,
