Pretty much every researcher I know at OpenAI who are on twitter re-tweeted Sam Atlman's heart tweet with their own heart or some other supportive message. I'm sure that's a sign that they are all team Sam - this includes a t

It is a problem when you pretty much fired two board members who would've been against Ilyas opinion. Maybe Adam will not have any conflict in a few months, but he does now. He did when he and others got rid of Greg and Sam from the bo

Wait why would you think this is would be related to Kyle? Kyle's story was brewing from the moment GM appointed their attorney to manage Cruise - everyone knew there was gonna be restructuring of the executive team after the incident.

I'd have agreed with you if it was an extensive board with many experts, both technical and policy, without any strong conflict of interests. But at this point, we have Ilya who clearly has strong difference of opinions with Sam, Adam

I think Adam D'Angelo has a very strong conflict of interest and shouldn't have been on the board of OpenAI. I'm sure Quora views took a hit after ChatGPT. Not like Quora was any good before ChatGPT, they just managed to get

This article about copilot is BS. Nat Friedman refuted this on twitter and made it clear that copilot wasn't losing money.

People reading your comment would think that Goyal was actually super hostile to the user but the thread you linked doesn't seem nowhere as hostile as you claim it to be. Truth is, Calibre is a hard project to run, the man has been doi

This is something I often tell my friends who complain about Calibre: his project his rules. If you think there are genuine pain points you can address, fork it and make a better one no one is stopping you.

To be honest I don’t think their decisions are that baffling once you start thinking in terms of money. 1. Credit karma doesn’t have all the features that mint does. I suspect they don’t plan on adding them either. But if you say that no on

Thanks for working on Monarch! Does Monarch let you in some way import years of transactions data from Mint? From what I understand, if I signup on Monarch now and connect my accounts, there’s a limit on how far you can go into the history

It's wild that Cruise intentionally decided to hide the information of them dragging a person under the car for 20 feet from regulators. However, now that the news is out, their PR team says they showed the video to DMV folks while DMV

Let’s agree that Waymo and Cruise are not in the same league. I don’t use AV in general anymore, I explicitly differentiate between Waymo and everyone else.

I am not sure how it's out of reach for most people when the average price of new car in USA is like $48,000. Sure, you might say the average price is skewed by people buying expensive trucks. But even Camry costs like $35-36k after de

A bunch of VTOL/eVTOL and space startups also probably raised >100$ pre-launch I guess? Skydio raised way more than 100 million and I'd call them success, although I'm not sure if they raised that much pre-launch.

US competitor to DJI in what? Consumer marker or technology? If it's consumer marker where less cost matters a lot, there won't be a US competitor. DJI has home-turf, scale, and first mover advantage there, and a US competitor can

I am more impressed by the hardware and seamless motion than the autonomous sorting. They seem to be iterating both the hardware and the software at an insane pace. The post mentions that it's trained end-to-end - saves a lot of time f

I don't get it - why is Prusa mini a much better printer for somebody who actually wants to print than Bambu ones? The cheapest Prusa mini (self-assembled) is $459. You can buy a Bambu Lab P1P at $599 with a ton of more features than P
