IBM was bankrolling all the development. They only had one choice.

Meh. They don't knowingly release it. But they could certainly continue to try to sell the data on the black market to competitors, etc, which the competitor would never disclose.

because NOT letting sama go back would undo the all the good will (and resulting access) that they've built. As satya said, he's there to support, in whatever way yields the best path forward. what's best for business is to a

Why is Apple called Apple when they build computers?

Fascinating to hear her weigh in on something; it's been a while. Her take is spot-on.

More like stereotyping nonprofits.

I know the dysfunction and ego battles that happen at nonprofits when they outgrow the board. Haven't seen it -not- happen yet, actually. Nonprofits start with $40K in the bank and a board of earnest people who want to help. Sometimes

OpenAI should have flipped its org structure: 1. A for-profit with a board made up of folks who can handle $100B juggernauts. 2. A non-profit arm focused on AI safety and research on the march towards AGI. Same board it has today. Non-profi

Not reconsidering at all. Building right now is simply riding the wave. The alternative is sitting on the sidelines and waiting until things "settle," but will miss out on years of experiencing the evolution of these apis. It&#x27

This makes way more sense for accounting, consistent cash flow, and not burning up GPUs for people whose payments will decline in a month.

The thing is custom gpts are not useful. They are repackaged system prompts meant for non techy people. They were a distraction from the mission of OpenAI (a non profit). The commercial arm is a capped profit company anyway
857.
by mvkel 3y ago
Exactly! Really excited about a realignment back to the mission. I hope Ilya knows what he's doing with so much pressure on him now
858.
by mvkel 3y ago
Eventually, sure. Right now, today, they have a blank check for compute and all the money they could ask for. It's not the time to try to monetize if AGI is the mission. Complete distraction

Not according to Kara Swisher it isn't. https://x.com/maggienyt/status/1578074773174771712?s=46&t=k_... I know it's convenient to dUnK on journalism these days but this is Kara Fucking Swisher. Her e

Mmmmm no. Kara is a bonafide journalist. Her sources are v real and authenticated for the things she shares.

Sam wanted to commercialize stuff to shoot for revenue. Ilya wants to keep pushing for gpt 4.5 and beyond, to hell with the revenue. Ilya won the argument, Sam out. Hell yeah. It's not safetyism vs accelerationism. It's commercial

Definitely lots of tape and bubblegum holding things together. Like any fast growing company! And this one is breaking speed records.

The alternative would be trying to predict disasters and conflict and their respective roles in population decline. Even more impossible to do

I wouldn't use the Google brush to paint the other FAANG companies. By all accounts I've heard, working at Facebook/Meta is a pretty rewarding experience (if harvesting user data is your thing) in all the ways Google is not.

The software is what will determine if it succeeds or fails, and it's clear from the "demos" that the software is nowhere near production ready (or exists at all)

I wouldn't say the black box issue is unique to OpenAI. I suspect nobody could explain certain behaviors, including them. As for lock in, agreed completely.

Probably best not to make your company about features that a frontier AI company would have a high probability of adding in the next 6-12 months.
