You seem to have missed the entire point of the comment you’re replying to. The money was promised in tranches, and probably much of it in the form of spare Azure capacity. Microsoft did not hand OpenAI a $10B check. Satya gives away someth

None of what you said implies they have current legal access to the source/IP for GPT4. The original 2019 deal was described as: > Microsoft and OpenAI will jointly build new Azure AI supercomputing technologies > OpenAI will por

If you have another way to provide actual humans with arbitrary representative demographics for answering ten minute surveys for a total cost of around $1 each the market would love to hear about it. Alternatively if you wanted to fund rese

You’re right, I shouldn’t have gone absolute. However many Googlers also thought many other things were possible that weren’t, so from here maybe we devolve into discussions of the relative cost/value of Type I vs Type II error.

I think we are talking about different things in very different contexts but yes, there are exceptions to everything. My point is not about relative contributions of value necessarily, which are difficult to compare, but about the structure

Allow me to counter: > Ignoring risks This is not even on topic. You seem to think it is literally about the risk of a magical incantation of AGI that someone was going to accidentally utter. Instead it is about working the conversation

It depends on your goals and perspective. Cynically it could also be true. Cooperatively viewed he provides an environment for you to do what you expressed a preference for training to do. What do you want to be?

Your mistake is believing you and the CEO are similar. You are only both employees in that you can both be removed from a position. You are a resource. He is a point of connection to resources.

Can you report back on which part of the charter you think he violated? I’ll link it for you: https://openai.com/charter

I don’t see it. If anything, it seems to me that unlocking OpenAI and the broader market from what’s been an effective monopoly through more chip competition would be inline with the charter. > Technical leadership > To be effective a

Suggesting that we should be on a first name basis with the romantic partner of every famous person we know of simply because they are the romantic partner of a famous person is pretty naive. “Spouse of Y” works just fine generally to save

What is your concern exactly? This was a first-pass study in a field addressing some of the criticisms leveraged against an earlier study where the spatial reasoning problems were viewed to be too hard. They seemingly made the spatial reaso

Poe forms a layer of indirection and customization above the models. They feed data through the api and record those interactions, siphoning off what would have been OpenAI customer data. You could have maybe argued it either way until the

It was funny because with the Clooneys both of them have actually accomplished things in significant situations and it was clearly wrong. In this case this person seems to have primarily tried and failed to spin a robotics company out of Si

This is a really good point. If a non profit whose board you sit on releases a product that competes with a product from the corporation you manage, how do you manage that conflict of interest? Seems he should have stepped down.

You seem to be arguing for my point. Just because you couldn’t deal with what people want as an elected representative doesn’t mean it can’t be changed, isn’t being changed right now. I wasn’t encouraging anyone to run for office.

It seems we are talking about multiple different things. I never denied hype was a thing. You’re talking about hype cycles now. Previously it seemed like you said AI was not going to be advancing. LLMs are maybe headed into oversold territo

I would appreciate another example where a major new communications technology peaks in its implementation within the first year after it is introduced to the market.

I just want to point out that it was exactly a week ago that OpenAI was openly announcing $10M pay packages to pull AI researchers from other major companies, like Alphabet. These other companies are well established and if OpenAI were a no

Setting aside that your opinion is not data, this is how you mentally entrain the future of society in a terrible moment in an unsustainable industrialization ramp. What people want is incredibly malleable. To behave otherwise at a policy l

They know that it works by competitors “working together”, it doesn’t matter whether they communicate via language or through prices combined with a service that both explains how it works and dictates how they all behave.

Your reasoning seems a bit odd. The hospitals are laying off because they overstaffed out of fear of not being able to handle the demands of the pandemic. Now that the pandemic is gone they cannot economically support the headcount. If we h

I guess I’m not sure what your implied alternative is to the “Chinese Model” which I don’t think anyone can credibly say we accurately emulated — what would you have preferred we do and whose model would that have been? Sweden’s?

The management isn’t the board, that’s the point. The management is overseen by the board and the board entrusts the function of the organization to management while they help set direction. Separately, I can’t find the example but Robert’s
