OpenAI has a PBC now

I now wonder whether Tang Tan was involved in the Masimo incident while at Apple. Maybe he brought that part of the Apple culture to OpenAI.

Yes, thank you - It was unexplained, so I got stuck on "Why 48?", thinking I'd missing something right out of the gate.

Almost all of the OpenAI team signed a letter saying they would resign if the board is not replaced, so safe to say that they do care about the leadership drama; perhaps more than …

This is what I suspect; that their silence is possibly not simply evidence of no underlying reason, but that the underlying reason is so sensitive that it cannot be revealed withou…

Yeah, I was very surprised to see Athens, GA in the top 5. I was not even aware that they had a substantial public transit system and I lived in GA for ~15 years.

I completely agree with this article, but wonder if it's inevitable for someone to jump in and try to make profit off of services for the public good if there are people out there …

I have a PhD in Neuroscience and left the "postdoc treadmill" to be a software engineer. So far I am very happy with my decision and wish I would have read this article before gett…

This is so dead on. I recently left my post-doc position from a top school, and it evoked such a reaction of "take me with you" from my fellow labmates when I was leaving. The hope…

Any advice on how to develop these skills? Would it just be experience? If so, it seems to me to be a chicken-egg scenario where it sounds like you'd need several years of experien…
