This all seems so weird, and the list of Board members doesn't make this any easier to understand. Apart from the 3 insiders, there are 3 other board members. 2 of them seem complete no names and might not qualify for any important corporate board. In a for profit shareholders in theory control the board, in a non profit I am not even sure of who really has control over things.
Maybe non-profits are just frontends of some three letter agencies :)
This suggests that Greg Brockman wasn't in the board meeting that made the decision, and only "learned the news" that he was off the board the same way the rest of us did.
He was chairman of the board, no? surely he was in the meeting? More likely it's some kind of schism and he was on Sam's side.
Since he was removed as Chairman at the same time as Altman was as CEO, presumably he was excluded from that part of the meeting (which may have been the whole meeting) for the same reason as Altman would have been.
Oh man. https://twitter.com/apples_jimmy/status/1725615804631392637?... Really wonder what this is all about. Edit: My bad for not expanding. Noone knows the identity of this "Jimmy Apples" but this is the latest in a series of correct leaks he's made for Open AI for months now. Suffice to say he's in the know somehow.
Lolwut? Who is Jimmy Apples?
Greg is the one who announced GPT-4. Sam enabled Greg and vice-versa. The next AI winter may have just begun...
what a fucking ridiculous statement - sam altman is just a YC VC machine man, and I'm sure openai can find another CTO in the hottest ML market in history.
Or Altman will start a competitor.
Edit: I called it https://twitter.com/karaswisher/status/1725682088639119857 nothing to do with dishonesty. That’s just the official reason. ———- I haven’t heard anyone commenting about this, but the two main figures here-consider: This MUST come down to a disagreement between Altman and Sutskever. Also interesting that Sutskever tweeted a month and a half ago https://twitter.com/ilyasut/status/1707752576077176907 Th…
the theory that Altman did something in bad faith means that it might not be a disagreement but it's something that forced Sutskever to vote against Sam
Edit: Maybe this is a reasonable explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38312868 . The only other thing not considered is that Microsoft really enjoys having its brand on things.
The screw is tightening. Britains largest newspaper has just called out ai companies on their intellectual property and content theft. The game is over boys. The only question is how to make these types of companies pay for the crimes committed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are we going to start speculating about insane conspiracy theories now?
That doesn't seem insane to me in this case. OpenAI is easily the most important non profit for any Government in the whole world.
