Agree, people need to chill. The thread says they would have been happy if Sam stayed, they just wanted him to choose one or the other which he agreed with. It seems like a very amicable parting of ways when the parties involved were being pulled in different directions.
- mateus1 2y agoWeird times when moral relativism is saved for the rich and powerful instead of the poor and meek.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 2y agoI don’t think that you actually mean anything by this. “Moral relativism” seems entirely irrelevant.
- mindwok 2y agoCan you explain what you mean by this?
- weberer 2y agoHow does this in any way relate to moral relativism?
- mateus1 2y agoI should’ve phrased it better. It seems like many people think those in power are entitled to some moral leniency when they should face higher scrutiny.
- burnished 2y agoNo, what you are seeing is people refusing to be spun up into rumor-mongering, which is good because you don't want all the air going to spurious claims and counterclaims when there are factual and uncontroversial observations to be angry about instead
- lukan 2y ago"The thread says they would have been happy if Sam stayed" No, he said they would have been fine with it. That has a different quality and honestly, I am quite sure they knew sama was so invested in OpenAI that he would not have choosen to step away from it. So everybody could save face and no one was "fired".
- ilrwbwrkhv 2y agoOh my goodness. Different quality? This is like seeing a bunch of soothsayers looking at tea leaves intently to match a pattern.
- lukan 2y agoI am fine with your comment, but not happy about it.
- nostrebored 2y agoThis comment has a ‘different quality’ than most I’d expect to see on HN
- throwup238 2y agoHave you ever seen Sam Altman with his palms pointing at the camera? You can clearly see from the intersection of his life and fate lines that he is a supervillain in the making.

- lukan 2y agoI see. That is, now I do - without an X account, I could just see the single top post. (Which uses a bitmap for text, so people can read the whole statement. This whole thing represents everything I cannot stand about Twitter)
