Re: Mira Murati leaves OpenAI
#502If OpenAI is the foremost in solving the AGI - possibly the biggest invention of mankind - it's a little weird that everyone's dropping out. Does it not look like that no one wants to work with Sam in the long run?
But it makes perfect sense to drop out and enjoy last couple years of pre-AGI bliss. Advances in AI even without AGI will lead to unemployment, recession, collapse of our economic structure, and then our social structure. Whatever is on the other side is not pretty. If you are on the forefront, know it’s coming imminently, and made your money, it makes perfect sense to leave and enjoy money and leisures money allows…
I'm having genuine trouble understanding if this is real or ironic.

#503Update: Looks like Barret Zoph, GPT-4's post training (co-)lead is also leaving: https://x.com/barret_zoph/status/1839095143397515452
These messages really sound like written under threat. They have a weird authoritarian regime quality . Maybe they just had ChatGpt write it though.

I highly doubt that's the case. The US government will undoubtly seize OpenAI, the assets and employees way before it happens in the name of national security. I am pretty sure that they got a special team keeping an eye on the internal comms at openai to make sure they are on top of their internal affairs.
They already got a retired army general who was head of the NSA on the board lol

> It is hard for me to square "This company is a few short years away from building world-changing AGI" Altmans quote was that "it's possible that we will have superintelligence in a few thousand days", which sounds a lot more optimistic on the surface than it actually is. A few thousand days could be interpreted as 10 years or more, and by adding the "possibly" qualifier he didn't even really commit to that predicti…
Because as we all know: Full Self Driving is just six months away.

Doesn't (dyst)OpenAI have a clause that you can't say anything bad about the company after leaving? I'm not convinced these board members are able to say what they want when leaving.
That (dyst) is a big stretch lol
Exaggeration is a key part of satire.

It's CIA`s club since 2024.
For governments, knowing what important questions bother people is critical. This is better guessed by having a back door to one of the most used LLMs than to one of the most used search engines.
ChatGPT makes a "profile" out of your account saving most important information about you as a person. It would be much more difficult to do that by just analyzing your search queries in google.
This profile data is any intelligence agencies wet dream.

#508Related (possibly): OpenAI to remove non-profit control and give Sam Altman equity https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41651548
This is it. Loss of trust and disagreements on money/equity usually lead to breakups like this. No one at the top level wants to be left out of the cash grab. Never underestimate how greed can compromise one’s morals.

hypocrisy has to be the core of every corporate or political environment I have observed recently. I can count the occasions or situations where telling the simple truth is helpful. even the people who tell you to tell the truth are often the ones incapable of handling it.
From experience unless the person mention their next "adventure"(within like a couple of months) or gig it usually means a manager or c-suite person got axed and was given the option to gracefully exit.
true

#510Guessing they've all made a lot of dough as well already?
