The pre-existing cultural context is that "everyone knows" this fact that Linux is "garbage" and has "way more bugs." This is a title that directly feeds into that. You can fuel misconceptions with pure facts -

Honestly I think the whole "having a title that leads to the opposite conclusion as the details" move is a very bad idea. I think it likely most people will not read the article or the comments and the outcome of writing and shari

Ironically one of the major papers that showed that many findings couldn't be replicated couldn't be replicated. Academia is packed to the brim with perverse incentives. It's amazing that scientists are creative and capable e

It's awesome to know that the scientific process that's been in use for centuries, based on peer review and the importance of replication, is still so powerful that AI generated fake data can't do anything to undermine it. Re

At least one of the arguments against him, that he cared too much about openai to lead Microsoft effectively, probably helps him more than it hurts. Otherwise, idk how much of this was really about Sam altman as much as it was a staggeringl

I have no idea what point you're trying to make - and also it definitely isn't easy to build an airplane. R&D, prototyping, and manufacturing are all hard

He announced the hire and that precipitated 90+ percent of the employees threatening to quit. It would be an understatement to say that the situation changed. Why does everyone want satya to be bad at his job and and not react quickly to a

by vikramkr 3y ago
Also even if he signed it he's allowed to quit? Like, the 14th amendment exists y'all. And especially if after that agreement 90+ percent of openai threatens to quit, that's a different situation than the situation 10 minutes

Wait where are you getting that the hiring was a lie? At this point his tenure there was approximately as long as miras and emmets so that's par for the course in this saga, what makes that stint different?

I don't think anyone is intending to or wants to develop new batteries for consumer applications like that. The point here is large scale energy storage and maybe EVs which could be the closest thing to consumer tech. Lithium vaee batt

If it's getting up voted and folks on the forum want to talk about it, why try and stop a tech forum from talking about a tech story that's caught their attention?

It's a real life game of thrones lol, let people have their fun this is hella entertaining to follow

by vikramkr 3y ago
Unironically though to have 90+% of the employees want to follow the CEO says only good things about the ceos relationship with their employees

Don't know why it would be a problem for investors if Sam went back to openai? Either way Microsoft gets what they want and given the scale of the walkout msft might get what they originally were pushing for anyway instead of the backu

You described it yourself. If they'd signed a bad deal with openai without IP access or hadn't acted fast and lost all the talent to Google or something they'd have been screwed. Instead they managed the chaos and made sure t

Wait also @dang was this flagged because it was a dupe? The site was lagging out and I couldn't tell it was already posted and I agree that the existing one should be the main one - I can delete it or something instead but I figured ge

Dude I'm talking about it being worth 20 bucks a month (which NFTs are not), not the hype cycle nonsense. Just because you don't understand the scientific applications of protein folding, one of the most important problems in biol

They claimed they closed sourced it because of safety. If they go back on that they'd have to explain why the board went along with a lie of that scale, and they'd have to justify why all the concerns they claimed about the tech f

by vikramkr 3y ago
theoretically their concern is around AI safety - whatever it is in practice doing something like that would instantly signal to everyone that they are the bad guys and confirm everyone's belief that this was just a power grab Edit: si

those jobs look a lot less cushy now compared to a new microsoft division where everyone is aligned on the idea that making bank is good and fun

That makes sense! My thoughts were just that there were two similar versions of that same story highlighting the 550 employees and their letter, and the board member's backtracking seemed a distinct conversation (employees not agreeing

Man am I tired of that lazy as hell meme. Seriously, in what universe is this Microsoft's fault, and in what multiverse would they ever ever ever want to extinguish a major business opportunity in the middle of a massive boom instead o

Thanks! Also, hiding the dupes to prevent polluting the main page is a good idea but @dang kind of annoying that doing that in this case means the story drops in rank on the page - this story was in active discussion and if there are dupes

Maybe got played by the quora guy? Though at this point maybe none of them fired altman and it was the AGI in the basement
