- philip1209 3y ago“When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”
- liuliu 3y agoYou cannot kill an immortal.
- kevinventullo 3y agoOkay, that’s enough HN for me today.
- dekhn 3y agoThat's not correct. Immortals can be killed, they just don't die of old age or disease (I am basing this on an amalgamation of many immortals). In the greek pantheon, the gods ate ambrosia which made their blood into ichor, and if they lost their ichor, they could die.

- hef19898 3y ago"If you want to kill someone without people knowing they were the actual target, wait until they stand next to the President" - Bobby Lee Swagger (could also be a line from that old dude in his cabin)
- kromem 3y agoI mean, they could've leaned into it more. Something like announced with this that their new model "Rubicon" had, under the resumed leadership of Altman, crossed a milestone threshold.
- croddin 3y agoYeah. The review and findings should have at least attempted to answer the question: "What did Ilya see?"

- chrisfosterelli 3y agoThanks Dan.
- s3p 3y agoOnly sharing this because I learned it myself two months ago and think it's not common knowledge: dang actually is for dan g. and not just the word dang. he never speaks on it but someone mentioned it to me and I thought that was interesting. Anyway yes thank you dan!

- chrisfosterelli 3y agoThanks that's good to know, I updated my comment.
- IncreasePosts 3y agoI think you're confusing dang with someone else. dang is actually Da Ng, a Malaysian Chinese hacker extraordinare
- behnamoh 3y agodang, didn't know that.
- tptacek 3y agoHe pretty clearly won. There's not much to it. A huge chunk of the company went into open revolt and he got a competing offer that threatened to recruit all of them. There's nothing really underhanded or sneaky about it: the board drastically overplayed their hand, and all Altman and Brockman had to do was say "I call". To use the parlance of this community of people: people's priors here all seem to be that something shady was going on with Altman, but the strat the board took here was so obviously doomed that they should probably be looking for hypos about the board being shady.

- fishbash 3y agoI respect a lot of your comments on this site, but this one says nothing of substance. All you've done is repeat high-level facts that everyone knows and tried to shift suspicion in the opposite direction without providing any real basis for it.
- flatline 3y agoOr the more cynical take that this is the natural course all parties take when they discover themselves atop a large pile of money. The board was just outmaneuvered.
