Reeks of CEO speak; general bullshit that seems to go against all practical reasoning of the situation. Don't fall for it.
Might you describe CEO speak as not consistently candid?
i'm still not clear what the accusation against Altman was... something about being cavalier about safety? if that was the claim and it has merit, i don't understand why it wasn't right to oust him, and why the employees are clamoring for him back

Hacker News represents hackers, not Boards of Directors. The hackers of OpenAI overwhelmingly demanded Sam back. Everyone here should be happy.
Their wallets demanded Sam back. The original, founder hacker lost.
There was a time when Google Translate was the only game in town but now every single time, I find DeepL to be far superior. This can happen to OpenAI? If not, why not? Is some of the research not open? Also, even if DeepL is subjectively better, how did they or someone can do that? I mean some key papers+data+cloud budget to train are the three main ingredients to replicate such a translation model? If yes, that's a…
The impression I get is that if they rested on their laurels for a fairly short time they would be eclipsed.

And then we'd witness the market decide whether the company value was provided by its board or its employees
It's a non-profit. It should have no value aside from the mission.

I think you are confusing profits, valuations, market cap, and value.

Their model still has the same incorrect repetition issues it's had for years, and their lack of any kind of transparency behind the scenes really makes it feel like it still _is_ the exact same model they've served for years.
Quickly checking their twitter does not seem to reveal many improvements either.
Of course I get that model training can be rather expensive, but I'd really have thought that in the field of AI translations things would be evolving more, especially for a big-ish player like deepL.
If anyone has insights on what they've been up to I'd be really interested to know.
how is the quora ceo who now runs a competing AI company still on the board?
