#3Jeez, these people seem so dumb. Throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

#4The OpenAI board seems to have fatally miscalculated the loyalty to Sam A. And in realizing their error is scrambling to undo their miscalculation. The sad thing is probably was for the right reasons (AI safety over profits), and will result in the precise opposite (unbridled capitalism in AI).

#5If OpenAI ends up a shell of a company with billions in cloud GPU credits, in some ways merging makes a lot of sense?

Since the board hasn’t given any remotely convincing explanation for the firing [0], their miscalculation seems to have rather been that nobody would be asking any questions. Which is really bewildering.

#7If true, then the board has gone rogue. The only question is why? What could have possibly caused them to do this.
Re: OpenAI approached Anthropic about merger
#8Can literally anyone provide even a 0.001% plausible sounding reason as to why this all was started in the first place?
Nothing makes sense.

#9How would such a merger be good for AI safety? A combined OpenAI-Anthropic would collectively own 6 out of the top 6 LLM's on the chatbot arena leaderboard [0] which would seem to be somewhat monopolistic. This would result in less choice for us developers.
Isn't it better to have the top two AI firms both upholding AI safety as a core principle?
To me this weakens the original argument they had for sacking Sam in the first place.

#10Google and Amazon are major Anthropic investors. Amazon is even going to use Claude in the next few months on Alexa.
Someone can please explain how realistic is to think that Google, Amazon and Microsoft will fund/partner the same future company?
Is the board that crazy for control?
