Aside from a small investment through a YCombinator fund (sama was formerly its president), he doesn't have any equity in the company.

You’re right; the communication issue in this case was definitely his, not the board’s. /s

That was sarcasm; the joke was that he has no shares, and thus if he were to “go off” the board should come after him for all his shares. Basically, he was saying he had very little to lose by going public with his story.

Fine. Even so, Greg is brilliant and if anyone can still do both, it’s him.

gdb is easily one of the most intelligent engineers I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with.

That isn't true; sometimes just talking through the problem and checking assumptions, or just having another brain to work through the problem is what's needed. I guarantee you the issue wasn't one of the OP not knowing the l

Sorry, it's their HN usernames.

Pretty obviously. Once gdb left after sama, it's fairly certain plenty of high level folks are going to follow. gdb is brilliant, and a very very good dude. This doesn't look good for OpenAI.

It was $30. I highly doubt it’s worth it, unfortunately.

It isn’t. It literally is doxing. It’s just that most people don’t feel a need to protect criminals.

I certainly hope, for all our sakes, that Hamas and Iran do not become the largest governing powers in that region long-term. If they do, I may not have grandchildren to “lie to,” because I, a Jew, will be dead. But that’s cool, you just le

Okay. The article is about SV selling to America’s police. America’s police has no problem acquiring arms. I’d argue that, in effect, they’re already treated as arms dealers, who sell to police all the time.

This is a garbage take. I’d strongly reconsider your stance on what is or isn’t simple about the Israel/Gaza conflict. For one, it turns out that Hamas had a lot more than sticks on 10/7. The only simple thing about this conflic

Nobody said anything about honor. I was simply stating the fact that cherry-picking surveillance tech as suddenly “not to be sold to governments” is as equally absurd as suggesting that weapons manufacturers should not sell any weapons to a

Sure, and nearly every government can buy explosives.

You’re right; and most bakeries will sell their bread to anyone that can pay for it.

This. It doesn’t matter what you do, conspiracy theorists can and will justify it as a conspiracy.

God, every time I think it's gotten better to ship appliances, it really... hasn't. We had an on-prem solution at Tinfoil, because some of our customers needed it (gov, finance, healthcare, random big enterprise co, etc.) We were

He'd have to care, which I can pretty much guarantee he doesn't.

To be clear, I agree with you. I just disagree with the idea that it doesn't target a specific group / help a specific group. It does. I also don't see anything wrong with that.

Of course; but that’s a pretty big leap. It is very unlikely that some non-Indian bigot decides to study up on castes and begin discriminating on their basis. On the other hand, it is a very short leap that someone who is Indian might. Thus

I think that’s the thing, actually; everyone needs something different, by their nature, how they were raised, and so on. Combine that with a deep sense of the grass being always greener on the other side, and it becomes super important not
