Interesting that he didn't say why he left. He says "my immediate plan is..." meaning that he has no specific long-term plans or doesn't want to talk about them.
This is quite the loss for OpenAI. And no one seems to have heard what Ilya Sutskever's status is at OpenAI as well.
If I was Sam Altman, Ilya would be on a short leash. I’m actually amazed he wasn’t booted already. He might be talented, but if he can’t be trusted, he needs to go.
Building business requires latticework of talented people doing job properly. And building a system of checks and controls for less trusted people.
Frankly, OpenAI seems to be losing its luster, and fast. Plugins were a failure. GPTs are a little better, but I still don't see the product market fit. GPT-4 is still king, but not by that much any more. It's not even clear that they're doing great research, because they don't publish. GPT-5 has to be incredibly good at this point, and I'm not sure that it will be.
My guess is it isnt, these systems are hard to trust, and the rhetoric "were aiming for AGI" suggests to me that they know this and AGI might be the only surefire way out.
If you tried to replace all of a devs duties with current LLMs it would be a disaster, making sense of all that info requires focus and background thinking processes simulataneously which i dont believe we have yet.
Please excuse me for asking this. I know Andrej is an excellent instructor. I've watched his videos. But what has been his contribution to the industry (besides teaching of course)?

> GPT-4 is still king, but not by that much any more Idk, I just tried Gemini Ultra and it's so much worse than GPT4 that I am actually quite shocked. Trying to ask it any kind of coding question ends up being this frustrating and honestly bizarre waste of time as it hallucinates a whole new language syntax every time and then asks if you want to continue with non-working, in fact non-existing, option A or the equall…
I kind of gave up completely on coding questions. Whether it's GPT4, Anthropic, or Gemini - there's always this big issue of laziness I'm facing. Never do I get a full code, there are always stubs or TODOs (on important stuff) and when asked to correct for that.. I just get more of it (laziness). Has anyone else faced this and is there a solution? It's almost as annoying, if not more, as was incomplete output in the…

Yep. AI is, and will be used militarily. These virtue signaling games are childish.
It is indeed tragic that virtue is a childish trait among adults.
I don't think so. In order to be virtuous, one should have some skin in the game. I would respect dedicated pacifists in Kyiv a lot more. I wouldn't agree with them, but at least they would be ready to face pretty stark consequences of their philosophical belief.
Living in the Silicon Valley and proclaiming yourself virtuous pacifist comes at negligible personal cost.

I would be very surprised if Turkey was capable of doing that. If they did, that's all Erdoğan would be talking about. Also it's a bit weird that the linked article's source is a Turkish name. (Economy and theology major too) I am not saying this is anything but it's definetely tingling my "something's up" senses.
Voice of America generally employs country's nationals for their reporting. There are some other resources: - NPR: https://www.npr.org/2021/06/01/1002196245/a-u-n-report-suggests-libya-saw-the-first-battlefield-killing-by-an-autonomous-d - Lieber Institute: https://lieber.westpoint.edu/kargu-2-autonomous-attack-drone-legal-ethical/ - ICRC: https://casebook.icrc.org/case-study/libya-use-lethal-autonomous-weapon-system…
I will check out the links. Thanks a lot.

I'm almost certain this is because you're getting use to chat bots. How would they honestly be getting worse? Initially it felt like the singularity was at hand. You've played with it, got to know it, the computer was taking to you, it was your friend, it was exciting then you got bored with your new friend and it wasn't as great as you remember it. Dating is often like this. You meet someone, have some amazing intim…

Become the next 3blue1brown. He has inspired many. Here's a gem of educator. Check out his other videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhYqflvJMXc
easier said than done 3b1b's main selling point is the extreme level of polish on his visualizations - something that takes a lot of time (money) to develop the sad part is that it takes extreme luck to make it on yt. i wish educating skills counted for more but unfortunately they don't, really.
