I worked at a recent YC AI startup (2022-2023 batch). The only favorable thing was a few hundred in OpenAI credits.

Do these people type all lowercase on purpose? Is it a power move/status thing? I'd have to go out of my way to type like that, on mobile or at a workstation.
I use all lowercase on platforms where I share original content because I like the aesthetic of lowercase letters. They look more harmonious to me. I only use uppercase when using acronyms because I think they're recognized quicker by their shape.

#704This is clearly the AGI's first public move
Underrated.

#705Kara Swisher: a “misalignment” of the profit versus nonprofit adherents at the company https://twitter.com/karaswisher/status/1725678074333635028 She also says that there will be many more top employees leaving.
Followup tweet by Kara:
Dev day and store were "pushing too fast"!
Re: OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
#706- Cant be a personal scandal, press release would be worded much more differently - Board is mostly independent and those independent dont have equity - They talk about not being candid - this is legalese for “lying” The only major thing that could warrant something like this is Sam going behind the boards back to make a decision (or make progress on a decision) that is misaligned with the Charter. Thats the only fir…
Prediction: board resignation. Sam Altman returns.
Prediction:
1/ Sam goes on to create NeXTAI and starts wearing mostly turtleneck sweaters and jeans 2/ OpenAI buys NeXTAI 3/ OpenAI board appoints Sam Altman as Interim CEO

#707Ilya booted him https://twitter.com/karaswisher/status/1725702501435941294
This should be higher voted. Seems like an internal power struggle between the more academic types and the commercial minded sides of OpenAI.
I bet Sam goes and founds a company to take on OpenAI…and wins.

a symptom of spending too much time on IRC back in the days, IMHO
I actually have auto-capitalization turned off on my phone

#709Kara Swisher tweets claiming sources tell her the chief scientist was aligned with another board member against Altman and Brockman about a “move fast and pursue profit” vs “move slow and safely” divide.

Not a power move at all! It's just that people who are this smart, whose brains operate in a higher dimension than you can possibly imagine, won't waste precious mental cycles on silly uppercases just the rest of us commoners.
