Sam and the board have realized the existing structure of OpenAI does not make them (Sam, board, investors) as wealthy as a for-profit structure would. This is the start of winding down OpenAI. I will not be surprised at all if Sam does wha

Completely agree. One thing to add - we should not be comparing LLMs to experts in any field (where expertise can be objectively determined). We should be comparing LLMs to an average (in some cases better than average) layperson. The same

Why shouldn’t the government have a say in what is taught to children? Children are not their parent’s property. These are future citizens and I would prefer that society has a say in what is taught to them. In a democratic system the gover

It's the folks on the right who prevent any action more than hand-waving. I think we have to realize that for folks on the right it is a matter of Identity and not Policy. At this point their opinion or concerns should be just ignored

I am not sure most people think that far ahead. I think a lot of it comes down identity. People start identifying with "free market capitalism / freedom" (whatever that is) and then you try to rationalize their thinking &#x2F
