Thanks! It's amazing how the Nitter UX is actually better than Twitter itself (showing proper context)

#42Are people going to start throwing around the term "AGI" now that "AI" has become diluted? Eventually we are going to have to start using "RAGI" to indicate that we are talking about real artificial general intelligence.
I can't read AGI without thinking adjusted gross income.

#43If this is the actual reason, this is going to be the most spectacular implosion of a company ever. Microsoft will end up owning this entire thing.
Microsoft can not own the entire thing, it is owned by the non profit, which is governed by it's board. There must be a storm at MSFT going on about due diligence on the OpenAI board and this kind of possibility before spending billions of dollars.
A nonprofit cannot run on well wishes. Not effectively anyhow.

#44I got one, am here for the popcorn! What did Sam lie to the board about that caused them to basically eject him like he’s radioactive? Why did Greg take his toys away and quit on the spot? Are the other departures “solidarity exits”, or because they’re possibly involved in whatever got Sam ejected?? Tune in at 11 to find out more!
Literally officially breaking out the microwave as we speak, tonight's going to be a ride

#46Guess OpenAI is about to lose a good chunk of their research team in the next 48 hours
Has anyone asked the thinking machines that are so much more than text generators if they want to stay at OpenAI or move on?

#47Within hours now we will reach the drama singularity.
Presupposing we have not always been within the drama singularity.

#49Kara is an access journalist who has been holding Altman up as the "next Jobs" for a while now. She has no credibility as anything other than an opinionated "journalist" and it would not be surprising if her "sources" are none other than Altman himself.

#50This BOD went out and shot their own company. Sam & friends can now cherry-pick whoever they want from OpenAI and recreate most of the value in a few months under their own governance.
Firing Sam is absolutely one of the dumbest things a BOD has ever done in history. He's the founding CEO of the company that is insanely successful, he is the company. If you wanted him gone for some trivial reason you needed to get him onboard first, "here's a billion dollars, now spend more time with friends and family for the next 18 months".
