This matches far better with the board's letter re: firing Sam than a simple power struggle or disagreement on commercialisation. Seeing a huge breakthrough and then not reporting it to the board, who then find out via staff letter ce

I’ll ask the obvious question - does this make it more likely they’re rejoining OAI?

So happy for him. If they're using the dollar massively on the black market, why not tether? Having said that, he has so little support in parliament its hard to tell what he'll get through.

Something just as effective happens automatically: really driven non-altruists achieve success and realise it doesn't bring happiness. Then proceed to donate their wealth. Buffet nor Gates started out as altruists but are both planni

To me, his tweet suggests he saw it coming or perhaps it was even part of the plan for him. How else would he already know "what's next"? These past few months his name has made its way into the mainstream. Maybe its time fo

Thanks for your response. I think regulating AI will be very difficult given the game theory/interplay between countries. We did it with nukes but it took something terrible happening first - also GPUs aren't nearly as easy to wit

Can someone clue a greenhorn like me in on why this is a big deal vs prior dedicated storage providers like Hetzner etc?

Have you worked in a physical trade? As someone who has, I personally wouldn't go so far as to fetishise blue-collar over white collar. Both have BS - most agency recruiters in construction are really dishonest (and remain profitable)

Agree on the distrust, human construction agencies have the same reputation as LinkedIn recruiters. That's why were hoping an open unsiloed marketplace with a references and a clear taxonomy that piggybacks on national certifications m

We are currently talking to them so we can learn and look for things to automate. We're aiming to be an online marketplace, so the services we provide (eg skill verification) won't scale if we can't have them use the interfac

As the years go on, I find there are fewer and fewer small project ideas that give me butterflies. But this is one! Hadn't heard of CodeCrafters before but I love how academic their challenge ideas are (eg build a DB). I'd love to

I was waiting to hear from someone else on this. We were planning on spending a decent chunk of our seed money on Meta Ads. After 3 verifications and repeated bans with no recourse we gave up. I don't think we can blame this on all AI

"23andMe blamed the incident on customers reusing passwords" I'm not sure how they worded this but it's their shortcoming, not their customers. Customers reuse passwords and will continue to do so. For sensitive PII it&#

We’re at a moment in history where AI companies (especially ones with proven cashflow like this) are getting almost all the VC money and wild multiples. It seems like the smart move to spin it out to access this money.
