Has the same lack of capitalisation as Sam Altman's message, wonder why
Some conflict over using toUpperCase() ?

#213Can a super smart business-y person educate this engineer on how this even happens.
So, if there's 6 board members and they're looking to "take down" 2... that means those 2 can't really participate, right? Or at the very least, they have to "recuse" themselves on votes regarding them?
Do the 4 members have to organize and communicate "in secret"? Is there any reason 3 members can't hold a vote to oust 1, making it a 3/5 to reach majority, and then from there, just start voting _everyone_ out? Probably stupid questions but I'm curious enough to ask, lol.

#214Earlier quoted context omitted.
What I find incredibly odd is the lack of a Microsoft board seat, considering their large ownership in OpenAI. Something does not add up.
Microsoft has zero ownership of the entity the board controls (the OpenAI nonprofit), and a for-profit firm having seats on a nonprofit board especially if it was because they invested in a for-profit subsidiary of the nonprofit would raise serious issues of the “nonprofit” being run for purposes incompatible with its status.
Sure; but its still weird that Microsoft agreed to the deal with the board in the state that it was; not just no board seat, but three absolute outsiders, two of them extremely unqualified. We may look back on their decision to buy 49% of OpenAI as a big misstep.

Showing it wasn't written by ChatGPT? (While one can easily ask ChatGPT to use lower case only ...)

#216How do I profit from this news. Should I buy or sell MSFT?
The same way you profit without the news, buy VTSAX and wait 10 years.

#217Ok what’s with the weird punctuation and lack of capital letters in their tweets?
Both seem like they are horribly rushed and no auto complete?

#218Edit: 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…
I think that if there were a lack of truth to him being less-than-candid with the board, they would have left that part out. You don’t basically say that an employee (particularly a c-suiter with lots of money for lawyers) lied unless you think that you could reasonably defend that statement in court. Otherwise, it’s defamation.

#219Meta should do a ChatGPT clone just like they did a Twitter clone.
They sort of did one before ChatGPT (and after InstructGPT) with Galactica, but didn't have the nerve to keep it up.

#220Greg is the one who announced GPT-4. Sam enabled Greg and vice-versa. The next AI winter may have just begun...
> The next AI winter may have just begun... Because two executives were ousted from a company? That's dramatic.
this entire thread is a fascinating treatise on AI philosophy mixed with business conspiracy.
