An "Independent" board is supposed to be a good thing, right? Doesn't this clown show show that if a board has no skin in the game --apart from reputation-- they have no incentive to keep the company alive?
What I don’t understand is how everyone at OpenAI other than the board just resigns and applies to Microsoft and now Microsoft has a new group that not only preserves a competitor but also one that serves the employees by getting them better compensation and no possible limbo of what is in store. I have built a product around the APIs and I rather go through whatever Microsoft will make me go through than accepting O…

I do wonder what exactly almost 800 people do at OpenAI. Some approximate breakdown by job function would be very interesting.
Yeah I think anyone on HN could write that website in a weekend. With uncensored GPT-4 you wouldn't need more than 10 people on staff and most of those would just be there to fix the printer. Edit: I thought this would obviously be satire. Guess not..
You have to now invent a way to serve this at scale.
You do care about safety by default, so you employ people for that.
You need a team to market and design the products.
You have an api and you’re working on additional things like API hooks to call into services, which actually involves more models.
Now you have all of the standard web app at massive scale issues. You need to design, implement, and serve a frontend as well as the api.
You need a sales team to build relationships with enterprises and startups etc etc. you need a billing team.
Don’t forget about whisper, TTS, dalle etc. you need to do this for all of those as well!
You’re also doing this faster and better than the rest of the industry.
You also need lawyers, office staff, support, etc.

Should we start flagging these -what do people think? This is what, the 12th front page story today about the openAI drama? Also wondering why the mods don't consolidate them

Reminds me of the final season of Silicon Valley. Is this Pied Piper at Tres Comma Fest?
Seems to me more analogous to the final episode of the final season, where they must publicly destroy what they built.
