I wonder how many products have components that downgrade under specific situations and they never explicitly tell the customer - and most customers don’t ask because it’s “complicated tech” they don’t want to know about it.

Why did Altman bring him onboard in the first place? What value does he provide? If there is a conflict of interest why didn’t Altman see it? If this Quora guy is the cause of all this, Altman only has himself to blame since he is the reaso

The worst thing humanity can do is create a competitor for resources for itself. You do not want AI with survival instincts similar to ours. AI need to be programmed to be selfless saints or we will regret it.

Money changes people. Especially when it’s a lot of money. They got used to the money and they want it to keep flowing - the charter be damned. Everyone has a price.

You compromise a few influential people in the organization to get a foot in the door and ultimately your money - which you control. Your money will do the rest.

You compromise the “few” to get a foot and your money in the door. After that, money will work its magic.

Why did you think 700 signed on? Money. Who let the money in? Altman.

Guess OpenAI that was actually open was dead the moment Altman took MS money and completely change the organization. People there got a taste of the money and the mission went out the window. A lesson to learn I guess, just because somethin

Can't help but feel it was Altman that struck first. MS effectively Nokia-ed OpenAI - i.e. buyout executives within the organization and have them push the organization towards making deals with MS, giving MS a measure of control over

Is their deal with Microsoft exclusive tech transfer wise? If not they can always sell/license what they have to Google, Facebook, and Amazon. They should be able to get quite a bit of money to last a while.

And everything Google does is in its self interest or prioritizes its self interest. Altruism falls by the sidelines.

I always figured it’s because HN is run by Y Combinator, a technology startup accelerator, so inevitably many of the folks here will be more pro entrepreneurship than non-profit.

Better to have a small but independent voice that can grow in influence then being shackled by commercial interest and lose your integrity - e.g. How many people actually gives a shit what Google has to say about internet governance?

If you are hungry you go find food and eat it. If you are bored you go find something fun to do. Most of our actions, if not all, are to satisfy one need or another. Satisfying that need is the goal.

You are still goal-oriented. If you are hungry, you go look for food then consume said food if you find any. If you are bored, you look for entertainment - e.g. calling one of your friends (who isn’t a complete bore). It doesn’t have to inv

Well at least we can damage the watermark such that it’s no longer machine readable. Since according to its marketing it’s invisible to listeners, our distortion of it should be equally invisible.
