Sounds like it could be used as an IPMI style KVM, among other things.

I have never met anyone who has become an opioid addict because they thought it was a cool and fun thing to do. Every single one of them has been because they had gotten addicted when on prescribed medication or because their lot in life ha

There are people who function normally in life while using opioids. Both prescription pills, and street drugs. Obviously, long term impact from opioid use is bad, but we allow people to do all sorts of things to themselves that kill them ov

At the same time the text makes it fairly clear that it is dangerous to use. There's a reason it talks about having narcan and people checking on you, or doing it as a group - my takeaway from the billboard on the whole is that opioids

Why do you have this particular crusade against alcohol? If you're wanting to curb ingestion of things that cause harm to the human body, sugar is a far bigger killer in the western world than booze.

It is a safety issue. The billboard's whole point is you warning that if you do this stuff solo you are more likely to die. Which is unquestionably true - you are not going to be in a position to use narcan to stop the overdose if you&

People that are addicted to fentanyl are already in a situation where they are past caring (or able to act on that caring) about society as thinking of them as losers. Every opioid addict I have met is ashamed of their habits already.

If you are going to use opioids it is unquestionably safer to do it with other people while at least some of them are sober-ish. You can't narcan yourself in a solo overdose situation.

The article outright acknowledges that outcomes are not better in areas where criminal enforcement is the primary factor vs. harm reduction. So, at most, it's not been any more of a mistake than a primarily enforcement focused efforts,

These are not the same thing. There is no guarantee in life that the people that are "right" will have the power to do the right thing, no matter how skilled they are.

The problem is when you take into account his whole track record there's really not any reason to believe he doesn't sincerely mean that. He was a huge and influential proponent of Gramm–Leach–Bliley, yet after '08 went on th

Businesses have a huge incentive to censor these models - it's appreciated that these are released without it, but a business has a lot of concerns about what is said around anything they are offering as a service. The point was just t

The image is OCR'ed and that data is fed back into the context. This is no more interesting or indicative of it passing the mirror test than if you had copy and pasted the previous conversation and asked it what the deal was.

If they actually believe that the thing burning to the ground is more closely aligned with the charter than keeping Altman around, maybe not. (And the letter everyone is signing says the board said that)

There are no shareholders in a non-profit. Who would remove boardmembers besides a majority decision by the board?

This all really only made sense to me in context of Ilya being a True Believer and really thinking that Sam was antithetical to the non-profit's charter. Him changing sides really does bring us into 'This whole thing is nonsense&#

He's an 'AGI potentially poses an existential threat' guy. He's given his p(doom) as being somewhere between 5 and 50 percent. If the people in charge of potentially making a thing you think could have up to a 50% chance

The report was that investors were talking to microsoft about the threat to withhold credits. Which does not say whether microsoft was open to the idea or ultimately chose to pursue that path.

If the issue is they believe Sam's focus on commercialization is inherently against their charter, Microsoft is key to that - they are the shining example of this shift. Consulting with them would be antithetical to solving the problem

There are lots of comments in these threads that go over her different qualifications and experiences. I am in a discussion about referring to people as 'spouse of x'. They're not the same conversations and I am not sure why

Significantly more info out and available now than when they worked on that project, too. It's only gotten easier.

They still exist and put out a product used by quite a few people, so quite well? You can't judge a non-profit by the same success metrics as a for-profit.

I was not implying they were not a non-profit. I am saying that we do not know the exact reason why the board fired Altman.

It might have been the only deal on the table. Perhaps they thought the risk was worth it - good processes don't always lead to good outcomes. Perhaps they felt that the rights they gained to the GPT models was worth it even if they do

It's hard to say. Lots of things don't really make sense based on the information we have. They could have meant that Sam had 'not been candid' about his alignment with commercial interests vs. the charter.

This is assuming motivations similar to a board for a for-profit company, which the OpenAI board is not. Insisting, no matter how painful, that the organization stays true to the charter could be considered a desirable trait for the board o

From what we can see, it looks like the majority of the reporting sources are Altman aligned. Look at how the follow up tweet from this reporter read - the board resigning and the governance structure changing is being called a "truce&

From everything we can see Ilya appears to be a true believer. A true believer is going to act along the axis of their beliefs even if it ultimately results in failure. That doesn't necessarily make them naive or fools - many times the
