Compute is at a premium, but you can shift opex/capex around which might be more suitable. It can also be cheaper in headcount since you need fewer operators and less expertise in datacenter operations.

I think they are rightly calling out that iMessage as part of Apple's moat building is both bad for their customers and people their customers interact with. And while I agree with you, and I won't be using the service, I think fr

Random stuff breaking or things not working quite right is to be expected with Microsoft products.

Seriously, the constant conflating of authoritarian censorship with limiting hate speech and bomb making instructions is tiring.

One thing folks downplay in the original search wars was the UX decisions of Google. It was a plain page with just a search box and the results were clutter free and easier to parse. As a young computer user at this time, this is what broug

I also have premium. I went the route of Youtube music + premium a while back instead of doing Spotify. I might be missing out, but been working for me. I probably use Youtube more than any other streaming service.

I don't think the board was big enough for starters. Of the folks on their, only one (Adam) had experience as a leader of a for profit venture. Helen probably lacks the leadership background to make any progress pushing her priorities.

Working out nicely for Msft then. You can use GPT4 via Azure already.

If the Sama faction got Ilya and Adam (maybe with promise of heading the new board), Helen and Tasha have nothing to stand on and no incentive to keep fighting.

The only mistake (a big one) was publicly offering to match comp for all the OpenAI employees. Can't sit well with folks @ MS already. This was something they could have easily done privately to give petition signers confidence.

The 700 employees also have significant financial incentive to want Altman to stay. If he moved to a competitor all the shine would follow. They want the pay-day (I don't blame them), but take with a grain of salt what the employees wa

I think this is a reasonable take. I'm also not convinced that the board acted outside their mandate as stewards of the OpenAI non-profit. There are definitely reasonable suspicions, but we still don't have all the details.

Yep! I've done eng "bake-offs" as well, where a few folks / teams work on a problem in isolation then we compare and contrast after. Good fun!

Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. I think in this case MS is winning.

> removing a motive that has the most direct connection to quantifiable results (profit) can actually make things worse I totally agree. I don't think this is universally true of non-profits, but people are going to look for value i

In my experience in big-co, the decision makers on something like TF are going to be constrained by cost. They'll be picking between many different tools and they are incentivized to provide as much value as possible.

Pretty insightful I thought. The people who joined to create AGI are going to be underwhelmed by the products made available on dev day.

Already a good investment then, even if this fundamentally changes how impactful OpenAI is going forward.

From the statement it sounds like the board is still committed to running the company in pursuit of the initial non-profit goals and the transition to a for profit status was because of legal limitations. Really surprising to see this.

I agree. The value of free speech when I was younger was purposeful, subjecting ideas to open critique so only the best could survive. Now the "marketplace of ideas" seems to be full of the high calorie, low nutrient variety. Do I

Exactly, the goal posts have moved quite a ways from "free speech" being related to government censorship.

Are you suggesting not providing a platform is the same as restricting someones free speech?

I also like Tailscale as an example of this. Really great platform for devs to jump on for home labs and build experience.

I agree, sops / ejson / gitcrypt or something else that encrypts a file in vcs, then use your cloud or shared secret vault to disperse the decryption key.
