I think it was Mark Zuckerberg that described (pre-Elon) Twitter as a clown car that fell into a gold mine. Reminds me a bit of the Open AI board. Most of them I'd never heard of either.
All successful companies succeed despite themselves.

Just create an OpenAPI endpoint on azure. Pretty sure not run by OpenAI itself.
Azure OpenAI is always a bit behind, e.g. they don't have GPT-4 turbo yet

#413The whole thing starts to look like a coup orchestrated by Microsoft
Yeah M$ hasnt had a good reputation. I finally left Windows this year because I'm afraid of them after Win11.
2023/4 will be the year of the Linux Desktop in retrospect. (or at least my family's religion deemed it)

Ilya ruined everything and shamelessly playing innocent, how low can he go? Based on those posts from OpenAI, Ilya cares nothing about humanity or security of OpenAI, he lost his mind when Sam got all the spotlights and making all the good calls.
This is an extremely uncharitable take based on pure speculation. >Ilya cares nothing about humanity or security of OpenAI, he lost his mind when Sam got all the spotlights and making all the good calls. ??? I personally suspect Ilya tried to do the best for OpenAI and humanity he could but it backfired/they underestimated Altman, and now is doing the best he can to minimize the damage.

So essentially, OpenAI is a sinking ship as long as the board members go ahead with their new CEO and Sam, Greg are not returning. Microsoft can absorb all the employees and switch them into the new AI subsidiary which basically is an acqui-hire without buying out everyone else's shares and making a new DeepMind / OpenAI research division inside of the company. So all along it was a long winded side-step into having…
And sue for the assets of OpenAI on account of the damage the board did to their stock... and end up with all of the IP.

#417At this point, I think it’s absolutely clear no one has any idea what happened. Every speculation, no matter how sophisticated, has been wrong. It’s time to take a breath, step back, and wait until someone from OpenAI says something substantial.
I wonder if AGI took over the humans and guided their actions.
Makes sense in a conspiracy theory mindset. AGI takes over, crashed $MSFT, buys calls on $MSFT, then this morning the markets go up when Sam & co join MSFT and the AGI has tons of money to spend.

#418Can anyone explain this? “Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s chief scientist and a member of its board, who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place.”

I think everyone assumed this was an aquihire without the "aqui-" but this is the first time I've seen it explicitly stated.
will they stay though? what happens to their OAI options?
