If you keep working past $10M net worth (as all these people undoubtedly are) its usually always for legacy. I actually think Sam's vision probably scares them.
$10M doesn't go as far as you'd think in the Bay Area or NYC.

"popping off" means what?
Modern colloquialism generally meaning Moving/advancing/growing/gaining popularity very fast

It's easy to have missed this part of the story in all the chaos, but from the NYTimes in March: Ms. Murati wrote a private memo to Mr. Altman raising questions about his management and also shared her concerns with the board. That move helped to propel the board’s decision to force him out. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/07/technology/openai-executi... It should be no surprise if Sam Altman wants executives who opp…
Greg Brockman, OpenAI President and co-founder is also on extended leave of absence. And John Schulman, and Peter Deng are out already. Yet the company is still shipping, like no other. Recent multimodal integrations and benchmarks of o1 are outstanding.

I truly think you haven't really thought this through. There's a huge amount of circuitry between the input and the output of the model. How do you know what it does or doesn't do? Humans brains "just" output the next couple milliseconds of muscle activation, given sensory input and internal state. Edit: Interestingly, this is getting downvotes even though 1) my last sentence is a precise and accurate statement of th…
> There's a huge amount of circuitry between the input and the output of the model Yeah - but it's just a stack of transformer layers. No looping, no memory, no self-modification (learning). Also, no magic.
Neuroscience hasn't found the magic dust in our brains yet, either. ;)

Did you seriously just use the word "isomorphic"? No wonder people believe AI is the next crypto.
Apologies for the wording but I think you got it and the point stands.
I'm not a native speaker and mostly use English in a professional science related setting, that's why I sound like that sometimes.
isomorphic - being of identical or similar form, shape, or structure (m-w). Here metaphorically applied to the structure of an argument.

It didn't really contain progress or experimentation. Lots of people are at this point using open source models independently from OpenAI. And a lot of those models aren't that far behind qualitatively from what OpenAI is doing. And several of their competitors are starting to compete at the same level; mostly under normal corporate governance.
So, OpenAI adjusting to that isn't that strange. It's also going to be interesting to see where the people that are leaving OpenAI are going to end up. My prediction is that they will mostly end up in a variety of AI startups with traditional VC funding and usual corporate legal entities. And mostly not running or setting up their own foundations.

Are they? In my recent experience, ChatGPT seems to have gotten better than Claude again. Plus their free limit is more strict, so this experience is on the free account.

Bad? I just tried Gemini and it was useless.
Starting to wonder why this is so common in LLM discussions at HN. Someone says "X is the model that really impressive. Y is good too." Then someone responds "What?! I just used Z and it was terrible!" I see this at least once in practically every AI thread
