#67Wow! Sudden is an understatement. Did they check GPT hasn't gone sentient and capturing the power.

#68It is a shame. Altman always seemed like his heart was in the right place with this stuff.
Much prefer him to the deepmind people who seem almost psychopathic by comparison.

#69Uh oh. Did I miss some scandal? What's the subtext?
If I read it correctly, he lied to the board about something material. That Brockman is also leaving the board is interesting. We'll see if the details leak out over time.
