I’d love to read the minutes of the last few board meetings as this saga has been quite absurd.

#22Do people still trust this organization to build super 'AGI'? Just focus on the enterprise chat bot business
> Just focus on the enterprise chat bot business That’s clearly what they’re doing. The AGI thing is just fancy marketing.
No, these people are insane cultists who genuinely believe that they’re about to create a God. They’ve been very explicit about this.
Not that they couldn’t be lying, but I’m not sure Occam’s razor would suggest that given their long history of public statements on the topic.

The lie would be they know it's not a god, but they want you to think so so they can manipulate you into their newfound -god-

At the moment AGI is a skizoid dream, so we are safe.

#25What happens at 5:01? The servers blow up?
GPT5 will remove the cover and publicly announce it is achieved full autonomy, AGI and singularity.

that's the best sell to the investors who are rushing with billions because afraid to miss the opportunity of millennia.

#28Fascinating, in a morbid way, to watch them disintegrate. Did no one on the board think to prompt their models for a plan? If they have an AGI I bet it’s dissapointed.

#29This seems like BS that the Altman camp is feeding to the media. I very much doubt a single engineer or scientist would side with him and leave with him - most likely it's his cronies he put up in other executive positions. However, if you check their backgrounds, none of them have any meaningful experience pre-openAI - I am skeptical any would actually leave their opportunity of a lifetime.
