Everyone says Sam can start a newco so easily, but he'd lose the data, codebase and deployed infrastructure, and a lot of knowledge. If people think it's devastating for OpenAI to lose 1/3 of its employees, Sam would basicall

I'd guess that Sam probably won't take the deal too, though I don't think their relations are necessarily as bad as people imagine. I think the board is just considering this option, and also looking for other people in the l

Guessing they want to rehire Altman and Brockman into their old positions, while still keeping them off the board. I think maybe the trigger was that Sam was doing some board-unfriendly moves like signing business contracts with MS without

It might not be odd or bad if you consider that almost everyone is selfish. However, the fundamental problem here is that SVB lost $X billion dollars of depositors' money, and Garry et al. wanted the government i.e. taxpayers to pay fo

I assume there's lots of private details you can't share, so I can't judge much. But fair, if that's true, it would be good. It's not like rich people need to care about what I think, but I just argue that people sh

I actually personally profit from this as a software engineer working at a startup, but I don't agree with it because I recognize it's unfair. Let's say my house gets burglarized. Everyone agrees this is a bad thing and unfai

Wouldn't mind hearing your story! But by default, I assume everyone, rich or poor, acts in a selfish manner. They'll help others only when it helps themselves, often by taking an insignificant financial hit for a substantial reput

Sure, it's possible to justify that, and if I were in the Fed I might make the same decision. But how hard would you fight for this cause if it didn't benefit you personally? I want to hear those reasons from others, not from a bu

Absolutely. People like Garry Tan, Sam Altman, Michael Seibel, Paul Graham, Mark Cuban, all pushed hard to keep their money, not caring if it's at taxpayer expense. Rich people tend to only care about helping others when it aligns with

YC has made a ton of money for itself already, why should the average taxpayer be responsible for helping them? Most people will agree it's unfortunate that depositors might lose some of the money they deposited. It's also unfortu

I find this to be standard practice in nearly every mobile game nowadays. Since it's allowed by the app store guidelines, any app that doesn't do this is effectively being punished with a lower rating compared to ones that do. I w

I think most of these are true. Here are two of my own that I generally don't see emphasized as much. 1. Do something wrong Remember that you have to be exceptional to reach outlier success. You won't be unusual if you do what eve

Losing 50% of species sounds bad, but much less bad than losing 50% of all mammal populations. Are we just talking about losing ten thousand obscure rodent species? I actually have no real idea what this value means, which makes me inclined

I agree with the big idea of conservation of biodiversity, but it really bothers me when these articles are using what seems like lies and fear tactics to convince me. 2 years? Why is it so urgent? The article doesn't explain. And &quo
