Re: OpenAI staff threaten to quit unless board resigns
#83Ok, time to create an OpenAI drinking game. I'll start:
Every time a CEO is replaced, drink.
Every time an open letter is released, drink.
Every time OpenAI is on top of HN, drink.
Every time dang shows up and begs us to log out, drink.

#84> Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s CTO who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place. What in the world is happening at OpenAI?
Did it originally say CTO? Ilya is not CTO and it's been corrected now.

#85We’re seeing our generation’s “traitorous eight” story play out [1]. If this creates a sea of AI start-ups, competing and exploring different approaches, it could be invigorating on many levels. [1] https://www.pbs.org/transistor/background1/corgs/fairchild.h...
Doesn't it look like the complete opposite is going to happen though? Microsoft gobbles up all talent from OpenAI as they just gave everyone a position. So we went from "Faux NGO" to, "For profit", to "100% Closed".

Going from OpenAI to Microsoft means ceding the upside: nobody besides maybe Altman will make fuck-you money there.
I’m also not sure as some in Silicon Valley that this is antitrust proof. So moving to Microsoft not only means less upside, but also fun in depositions for a few years.

They did not expect Microsoft to take everything and walk away, and did not realize how little pull they actually had.
If you made a comment recently about de jure vs de facto power, step forward and collect your prize.

(Rips off mask) Wow, it was the Quora CEO all along! So this was never about safety or any such bullshit. It’s because GTPs store was in direct competition with Poe!?
Imagine letting the CEO of a simple question and answer site that blurs all of its content onto your board

#88This is more interesting than the HBO Silicon Valley show.
it's the trailer for the new season of Succession.

At this point either pretty much all the speculation here and on Twitter was wrong, or they've threatened to kneecap him.

#90This is starting to look like an elaborate, premeditated ruse to kill any vestige of the non-profit face of OpenAI once and for all.
