#222I know I won't get a lot of love for this, but Sam is a really good person. I don't know him well, but I've known him since long before OpenAI. He's not perfect, but behind the scenes he's a genuine and upstanding person. I've met lots of wealthy smart people, and he's the only exception. He was the only person I trusted in this situation, and I'm genuinely nervous that he's no longer running OpenAI.
It forever tuned me in to the ethos of Silicon Valley. And I have tried paying back where I can.

#223def some sort of scandal. The prodigy Altman is booted after creating potentially the most successful company of all time and replaced by CTO who had no prior ML/AI experience becomes CEO. Wow.

#229Saying this is sudden would be an understatement. Sam Altman spoke at an APEC panel on behalf of OpenAI literally yesterday: https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1725318771454456208
I don't know the guy but nothing can really be assumed about this.
Re: OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
#230My theory as a pure AGI researcher-- it's because of the AGI lies OpenAI was built on, largely due to Sam. On one hand, OpenAI is completely (financially) premised on the belief that AGI will change everything, 100x return, etc. but then why did they give up so much control/equity to Microsoft for their money? Sam finally recently admitted that for OpenAI to achieve AGI they "need another breakthrough," so my guess i…
OpenAI, even prior to AGI is seeing 100x+ returns. The ousting almost certainly is not a matter of performance or professional capability. It's a matter of some personal scandal or fundamental, philosophical difference on the fate of AI in the world and safety.
