Well, Sam & Greg allegedly sidelined Ilya shortly before all this went down. It seems like Ilya felt he had to make a drastic move.

Not exactly. Ilya allegedly disliked Sam fundraising side hustles off his profile at OpenAI. It sounds like a confluence of factors precipitated the ousting.

The Verge seems squarely in Sam's camp. Bloomberg reports the board "balking" at stepping down. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-18/openai-bo...

Bloomberg now reporting the board "balking" at resigning. I suspect they never intended to resign. They fully expected this firestorm. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-18/openai-bo...

Microsoft's first-round investment totals $1bn at most. Nothing public substantiates a profit cap of $1tn.

It's not trivial given current supply bottlenecks, not to mention research expertise.

> Returns for our first round of investors are capped at 100x their investment (commensurate with the risks in front of us), and we expect this multiple to be lower for future rounds as we make further progress. https://openai

It's more like two of your coworkers deciding to fire you without hearing you out.

I highly doubt he will stay if that happens.

It's a boardroom coup. Two-thirds of the board unilaterally fired the other third.

The opposite, competition erodes profits. Hard to predict which alternative improves safety long term.

Hard to see Ilya staying if Sam returns, honestly.

100x first-round investment and lower multiples for subsequent rounds, so much less than $1T.

OpenAI's corporate structure doesn't fall under "most cases"—I assume the board wanted to demonstrate independence from investors.

The board of the non-profit doesn't answer to Microsoft etc. The investors own stakes in the for-profit subsidiary.

The user just made some new comments that lack credibility. I think that seals whatever doubts I had.

The consistent detail about the store breaking the camel's back sounds rather specific. I guess time will tell whether more claims by this user hold up.

I suspect he won't do much until the board elaborates.

It's a joke. He owns no shares.

The money won't dry up because of his reputation and team.

Readership remains a side effect of respect for other people's time, which concise writing delivers, in contrast to rambling.

Either way, his writing could use more organizing. Brevity would considerably broaden his readership.

His writing needs more aggressive editing, for sure.

Eugene could really use an editor for his top-notch insights.

No, F1 20xx remains an arcade sim with inaccurate driving dynamics. See Assetto Corsa for more accurate data sources.

You'll need a timestamp for your source mentioning noise cancelling. ANC damaging hearing sounds like nonsense to me. IEMs commonly result in similar sensations of pressure, even at safe listening levels.
