(Rips off mask) Wow, it was the Quora CEO all along! So this was never about safety or any such bullshit. It’s because GTPs store was in direct competition with Poe!?

Imagine letting the CEO of a simple question and answer site that blurs all of its content onto your board

And that he might be the least incompetent of them all.

From outside, it looks like a Microsoft coup to take over the company all together.

Never assume someone is winning a game of 5D chess when someone else could just be losing a game of checkers.

what does that even mean?

This was handled so very, very poorly. Frankly it's looking like Microsoft is going to come out of this better than anyone, especially if they end up getting almost 500 new AI staff out of it (staff that already function well as a team). > In their letter, the OpenAI staff threaten to join Altman at Microsoft. “Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAI employees at this new subsidiary should we…

There must be something going on which is not in the public domain. What an utterly bizarre turn of events, and to have it all played out in public. A $90 billion valuation at stake too!

I wonder how many people are on a path for a $250K/year salary instead of $30M in the bank now.

It’s looks like about 505.

Wow, this new season has even more drama than the one about blockchain tech! Just when you think the writers were running out of ideas they blow you away with more twists. I will be renewing my Netflix subscription that's for sure! I can't wait to see what this Sam character does next. Perhaps it will involve robots or something? The skys the limit at this point.
