It was not directly from Binance. It went into an intermediate wallet first.

How large is large? This wallet still has $30 million in it, all from structured withdrawals from Binance in amounts between $800k and $900k

It's called journalism. This is going to be happening for a while as journalists get more and more of the inside scoop. The new board also has a full slate ahead for it, including the investigation, recruiting a full board, and deali

Sam tried to remove Helen from the board which would effectively give him control over the board with the two people who worked for him holding seats. He was the one that tried to upset the board-CEO balance.

B: Why haven't you signed? A: I tried, but I couldn't edit the Google doc. B: I could put your name in for you. . . . People don't just spontaneously wake up at 2:30 am to sign a letter.

There were six board members. Sam and Helen were two of them. The conversations were with the other four board members. So it would be something like this: Sam to A: We should get rid of Helen. B, C, and D agree with me. Rinse and repe

I'm not finding the quote, but he has claimed it in front of an audience. I should point out that he is Executive Chair of Helion so I assume he still has some control over how the money is spent. One of those bets is on the fusio

If you watched his DealBook Summit interview it certainly seems like that's the way it is going.

Sam Altman claimed to have written a $375 million check from his own money to invest in Helion Energy. Maybe when all the lawsuits happen we will know more about his investments.

Maybe I am missing the point, but it seems like everyone will leave Twitter when it stops working. At that point, the traffic will be diverted and a few platforms will get most of it. We are just in that transition stage where platforms a

This was a very long piece that really buried the lead. Seems like most of the people commenting on this here never got to this passage. While I'm at it, most of the references to the paper co-authored by Toner missed the two pages of

If you shop around, I have always found a base model. 4 of the last 5 new cars I bought were base models. The exception was probably a mistake on my part. (It had a dealer installed sun roof that popped out on the highway at 6 years.)

He has a 5 mile commute to work. I figure at the most, he drives twice as much as I do, but that would still be less for gas than what he is paying. All I'm saying is that Tesla claiming you are going to save $100 a month in gas is ba

My brother spends $100 a month to charge his Tesla at home. I fill up my hybrid less than once a month at about $40.

Seems like this strategy is exploitable. An opponent could just bet on only their strongest hands and trap you. That is where game theory comes in. You also need to bluff. You can't just bet your strength.

Don't you need to have the plumbing in a loop? Not something you just buy. You have to put in a return line back to the water heater.

I would have appreciated more on the challenges facing the new OpenAI board. The quote at the end from Satya was a bit of a shocker.

The public support test for public charities is a 5-year rolling average, so "eventually" won't help you. The idea of billionaires asking the public for donations to support their wacky ideas is actually quite humorous. Jus

Assuming you've seen the prior years' 990s, do you have any explanation for the $70 million in "other income" that is lacking the required explanation of "nature and source" which represents more than half of t

Elon only gave $40 million, but since he was the primary donor I suspect he was the one who was pushing for the "public charity" designation. He and Sam were co-founders. Maybe it was Sam who asked Elon for the money, but there

Their IRS determination letter says they are formed as a public charity and their 990s claim that they have met the "public support" test as a public charity. But there are some questions since over half of their support ($70 mil

I think the only way this can end up is to convert to a private foundation and make sizable (8 figures annually) grants to truly independent AI safety (broadly defined) organizations.

To create a public charity without public fundraising is a no go. Should have been a private foundation because that is where it will end up.

I think it could have easily been predicted just from the initial announcements. You can't create a public charity simply from the donations of a few wealthy individuals. A public charity has to meet the public support test. A priva
