I wonder if he thinks LLMs are an AGI dead end and he's not interested in selling a product. There's some academic papers floating around coming to the same conclusion (no links. sorry, studying for a cert exam).

Yeah, I study* that way too.

seemed inevitable after that ouster attempt, probably just working out the details of the exit. But the day after their new features release announcement?

"Get next major feature to release and you can go as a friend" might have been part of an earlier agreement.

I mean, people can also get attached to a feature release.

"I want to work with the team to get this thing done"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That was literally me at Google

How can I get this gig at Google? I’m willing to not work for mid to high six figures.

You have to be someone who’s worth more not working for someone else than not working for Google.

Why does everyone here think that the guy who quit/lost his job at OpenAI because he didn't agree with their corporate shift and departure from the original non-profit vision is going to be lining up for another big corporate job building closed for-profit AI?

Maybe “better the devil you know than the devil you don't” applies?

There is no evidence of this being true.

He is one of the biggest proponents of keeping AI closed-source, by the way.

Then...he would have stayed at OpenAI.
