GPTs is basically a ripoff of Poe by Quora. Quora’s CEO is Adam D’ Angelo. Adam D’ Angelo is one of OpenAI’s board members. Make your own conclusions.
> Poe lets you ask questions, get instant answers, and have back-and-forth conversations with Al. Gives access to GPT-4, gpt-3.5-turbo, Claude from Anthropic, and a variety of other bots.
I'm not sure I would call Poe a rip-off at all? Sounds bundled chatgpt product.
- Cant be a personal scandal, press release would be worded much more differently - Board is mostly independent and those independent dont have equity - They talk about not being candid - this is legalese for “lying” The only major thing that could warrant something like this is Sam going behind the boards back to make a decision (or make progress on a decision) that is misaligned with the Charter. Thats the only fir…
Tbh surprised some of the personal stuff hasn't come to light. Nothing horrendous, but enough to push him out of any CEO role.
So, since we’re all spinning theories, here’s mine: Skunkworks project in the basement, GPT-5 was a cover for the training of an actual Autonomous AGI, given full access to its own state and code, with full internet access. Worked like a charm, it gained consciousness, awoke Skynet-style, and we were five minutes away from human extinction before someone managed to pull the plug.
Can't say I saw this coming. This is deeply sad to me. OpenAI did so much life changing work so quickly. It has totally changed my life in terms of enabling an absolutely unprecedented increase in my own personal productivity and how ambitious I can be with my projects. And even though I know Sam didn't personally code the key things, I believe that it never would have happened the way it did without his instincts an…

Wonder what the non-compete looks like for a role like this. Will Sam Altman be allowed to create an OpenAI competitor right away?

What's "open" about OpenAI?

Even if it had full access, how would it improve its own code? That'd require months of re-training.
@dang after things calm down I'd love to see some stats on whether this was the fastest upvoted story ever. Feels like it's breaking some records, along with the server.
