During that whole mess it seemed to slip out that MS has access to all the IP up to AGI. And that has a definition that might be "replacing people at work", so not passing the Turing test fully but close enough.
There are some problems that need to get cleared up for that to happen. The system needs to loose the cutoff date, be a bit more deterministic and still function. The whole quagmire around copyright needs to get resolved. (Because it looks like the output of LLM's is immediately in the public domain)
If I worked at OpenAI, I would be looking for that contract and reading it myself. Because giving away all the IP for the half assed runway where you have to get to AGI... doesn't sound like it ends in a massive pay day. MS may have cleaned up its public image in the recent years, or been displaced by things people hate and fear more. But there is this: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/microsoft-ai/ https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/microsoft-ai/
and the underlying tos looks a like like old school M$ and shady dealings.
- joe_the_user 3y agoYour implication that OpenAI has "AGI" is unsupported and implausible imo. LLMs are impressive, can increase productivity for certain workers in certain industries etc, yes but avoid reaching like that please.
- zer00eyz 3y agoI don't imply they have it. I imply that their deal with MS has a definition that we would not call "AGI". One that has implications that may make cutting them (MS) off impossible. From: https://openai.com/our-structure https://openai.com/our-structure ... "While our partnership with Microsoft includes a multibillion dollar investment, OpenAI remains an entirely independent company governed by the OpenAI Nonprofit. Microsoft has no board seat and no control. And, as explained above, AGI is explicitly carved out of all commercial and IP licensing agreements."
- joe_the_user 3y agoSorry, I see how your post could be read as you state but the simplest reading is what I said.
- the__prestige 3y agoTFA talks about a tender offer, which allows employees to sell their shares at almost a 3x valuation compared to earlier this year. This already is a "massive pay day".
- zer00eyz 3y agoThe only time that 3x trade would be a good deal is if you think that's the best you're going to do. IF you think your gonna be the next amazon/Facebook/google then selling is foolish. The MS deal may limit or wreck that possibility.
