this is a good way of putting it, thanks, it is also a good way of assessing ones one value to a company (if i disappear tomorrow, will it mostly be a minor inconvenience or will there be a DEFCON 1 response raised)

I think there is nuance here, even within a product company, not all software is equal. There's software to support core business (think ads in Google) and there's probably software to support internal dashboards (also in Google),

i mean, they are making progress towards that goal so i would just discount what Elon Musk says and focus on the progress.

i guess you can argue for age discrimination but come on, what does leetcode style interviews have to do with race and gender discrimination? In some sense, these interviews are exactly the type of interviews you want to not have race &#x2F

proofs are actually what made me get interested in math, proofs allowed for such a range of self expression and creativity that i was hooked even though they usually required more thought. Compare this to the studying the myriad of integrat

Americans trust in institutions is probably at an all time low due to rampant corruption across the board.

These days science is done as a "collaborative" effort, there are tons of people gaming that, like putting their names on papers where they didn't do that much, churning out papers which doesn't really add much to scienc

Not everyone is talented enough to have their pick of jobs to choose from. A lot of people take what they can get within their constraints.

The only guide post to use in this world of ever increasing information to learn is to ask yourself "do i find learning this stuff enjoyable?", questions like "can i become an expert" are vague and not good guideposts.

Most are probably motivated by money, some are motivated by stability and some are motivated by their loyalty to sam but i think most are motivated by money and stability.

The board can still fire sam provided they get all the key stakeholders onboard with that firing. It made no sense to fire someone doing a good job at their role without any justification, that seems to have been the key issue. Ultimately,

how many of these articles are we going to get flooded with on HN? At this point it seems like HN is a quasi reddit, instead of getting flooded with Elon did this or Elon did that, we have every type of speculative article being flooded to

In one fell move he demonstrated he had neither conviction nor any foresight, ouch. I'm starting to believe this was just a unthought out ego emotional reaction by Ilya. Dude is like Walter White, he just "had to be the man"

OpenAI and Sam Altman would do the same if they can recruit high talent without paying them extra (either through options or RSU's etc...). It isn't cause these companies are altruistic.

Its not love, its money. Sam will brings all the employees lots of money (through commercialization) and this change threatens to disrupt that plan for the employees.

Hey i would also be mad if i were in the rank and file employee position. Perhaps the non profit thing needs to be thought out a bit more.

by strikelaserclaw 3y ago
I think most of these employees wanted the fat $$$ that would happen by keeping Sam Altman on board since Sam Altman is an excellent deal maker and visionary in a commercial sense. I have no doubt that if AGI happened, we wouldn't be a

Not really. The lesson to take away from this is $$$ will always win. OpenAI found a golden goose and their employees were looking to partake in a healthy amount of $$$ from this success and this move by the board blocks $$$.

He seriously underestimated how much rank and file employees want $$$ over an idealistic vision (and sam altman is $$$) but if he backs down now, he will pretty much lose all credibility as a decision maker for the company.
