Did Mira Murat have say in whether she wanted to become CEO? Why is she siding with SamA and GregB even though she was on the meeting when he was fired? Also Ilya what the flying fuck? Wasn’t he the one who fired them? Either you say SamA w

OpenAI is a big marketing piece for Azure. They go to every enterprise and tell them OpenAI uses Azure Cloud. Azure AI infra powers the biggest AI company on the planet. Their custom home built chips are designed with Open AI scientists. It

Azure has ~60% profit margin. So it's more like MS gave $5.2B in Azure Credits in return for 75% of OpenAI profits upto $13B * 100 = $1.3 trillion. Which is a phenomenal deal for MSFT. Time will tell whether they ever reach more than $

Instead of outsing Sam A and Greg B, if Ilya really had deep concerns, he should have quit and built his own AGI dedicated research company. His prestige surely would have given him funding. Like how Hinton left Google so he could speak fre

No one is saying they are now valued at 0. They are likely valued a lot less than 80 billion now. OpenAI had the largest multiple - >100X their revenue for a recent startup. That multiple is a lot smaller now without SamA. Honestly the m

Hedgefunds are betting the on AI and tech companies. Without the top 5 tech companies, S&P500 has lackluster growth. Microsoft has added trillions to its cap. The statement “we have all the access we need” is a powerful statement. To bo

Altavista was good. I loved Yahoo directory. At that time, google was one big search bar and 10 links. It was fast, had no ads. Until IPO, they didn’t want to do ads. Now it’s just ads on the top links. Google is absolutely vulnerable, if s

I believe AlphaZero and MuZero would fit that definition. Other than a system allowing play, they become superhuman purely through self play. A benchmark for any AGI system is how fast it can learn from sparse unlabeled data and generalize.

dang, this is wonderful. I wonder if HN would consider a feature where an article would automatically link previous submissions of same topic. Seems like a great way to get insight of how novel a topic is.

FB had such a case in 2018. Even though FB/Meta is hiring again and you apply with a referral link, even as US citizen you still get no responses. No email, no phone call, totally ghosted. Almost seems like their job board is to appeas

Right. All I'm sayin is I want the God level AGI, the king of kings of AGI. Allowing me to customize ChatGPT is the same itty bitty intelligence, like putting a new mask on ChatGPT. OpenAI changed their values to 'AGI Focus'.
