I think this is great insight. It reflects why I often feel like I'm having to be the product and program manager as well. Even though I'm not, so often ideas on what could be improved, what could be done better, how to do things

No, donations to the non-profit do not transfer. They're considered a donation, you get a tax right off and that's that. I think OP is saying she is calling her investment in the for-profit arm a "donation". Which is kin

Donations are to the non-for-profit, but now that there is a for-profit arm, private investors can purchase "stock" if you want. Share of the company that grants them some percentage of the company profit (when it eventually start

She's not in charge of the for-profit arm though, all she could do was fire the CEO, and she did, which would seem consistent with her criticism. I don't think she has many more power as being on the board. She also isn't at

Could you have really predicted this aftermath? I mean, it could have just been that Sam is gone, a new CEO joins, and things move on. For example, as a paying user of OpenAI, I don't really care, as long as they continue to produce so

Occam Razors would say so. That's my take as well. They just underestimated the fanboy level of religious following that tech CEOs now possess and the scale of impact that would lead too. From their point of view, it was just business

I find this very surprising. How do people conclude that OpenAI's success is due to its business leadership from Sam Altman, and not from it's technological leadership and expertise driven by Illya and the others? Their asset isn&

I think the question mark is if AI is more akin to the nuclear bomb of the Internet. If you don't put barriers, how quickly will AI bots take over people in online discourse, interaction and publication? This isn't just for the sa

I was even more curious, and it's pretty hard to search for what information was available on the web in early 2021. So don't judge me, but using ChatGPT is the fastest way I could think to get an idea. This is what chatGpt thinks

I was asking clarification, because it all depends what we mean about truth and lie here. If we're saying that reduction in transmission is a lie, well that might be false, as data now seem to indicate it does cause reduced transmissio
