> Jason Wong, Gartner analyst, told The Register: "It's clear with the departures of the co-founders, and high-profile engineering leaders, that OpenAI is being remade with Sam's vision. His manifesto and the shift to a for-profit entity also reinforces his vision for the business.
It seems like Altman was a poor choice to run an organization meant to benefit and protect humanity, as reports increasingly make him sound like a lying, manipulative sociopath (albeit a powerful, competent, and lucky one).
> "This could have significant impact on OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft, which clearly stated they view OpenAI as a competitor. Microsoft has already started to downplay the importance of OpenAI models in their overall AI strategy. For enterprises, uncertainty is not good for business and key tech investments like generative AI. Other frontier models – especially more open ones – have caught up to OpenAI, which will further influence decisions to derisk by moving away from OpenAI or spread their risk using other models."
Now that's some happy news. According to https://www.wheresyoured.at/subprimeai/ https://www.wheresyoured.at/subprimeai/, OpenAI is already losing absurd, unsustainable amounts of money even with massive discounts from Microsoft. I wonder what fun things could happen to OpenAI if Microsoft started charging their competitor full price?

Google and Facebook initially lost tons of money but when they did become profitable, they became wildly profitable.
- tivert 2y agoDid Google and Facebook suffer tons of attrition very early? The drumbeat of departures calls into question OpenAI's ability to stay ahead of its competitors. Then you have the fact that Facebook is giving LLaMA away for free, which gives OpenAI Netscape vibes.
