I mean if someone else wants to give them billions of dollars to make an AGI that they think will extinct humanity while not commercializing or open sourcing the tech they do have because they're scared of extinction, then be my guest.

I really don't get the comparison of nfts to llms. I mean yeah some hype cycle idiots have redirected both of their brain cells to shilling useless startups that'll get obsoleted by minor feature additions to bard or whatever in a

Software engineering for sure. Lots of SV types have a very distorted view of what the average programmer not in a high prestige silicon valley company does. Especially contractors and outsourcing firms and the like? Yeah not great for them

I don't think Microsoft cares about that crowd, since now without capital they can't really do anything anyway. The rest of the crowd that wants to make bank? Might be more appealing

From satyas tweet Sam's new division/subsidiary is going to run more like LinkedIn or GitHub, and openai has pretty explicitly just declared that they don't like making money, so I don't think the comp is gonna be an iss

Given the recent updates, yep they definitely missed lol. That's a lot of "openai is nothing without its people" tweets, including from the interim CEO...

It's not like he's going to have any trouble at all raising enough money to match their compensation, and if he's going to build the ruthlessly for profit version who wouldnt switch over? These folks make too much money to ca

Who cares about legally? Legally theres no obligation for them to not collapse tommorow because everyone quits. Failure isn't illegal.

The problem is that they tried to take down the king and missed. They didn't achieve their goals

I mean, waiting 30 minutes to not release it before market close and pissing off Microsoft is a very obvious thing that it's still staggering that they didn't handle correctly. Immediately pissing off your biggest financial suppor

They put out a statement saying they have what they need. I don't see how Microsoft loses here. Either they get altman back at openai and get rid of the ethics crowd and make bank, or they find his new startup without the move slow cro

Right and thats what I'm saying. It's messy. They screwed up. Messy is bad. If they needed to get rid of him this last minute and make a statement 30 minutes before market close, then the failure happened earlier.

by vikramkr 3y ago
I'm pretty sure the people that kicked out altman don't consider this success and don't want the money

by vikramkr 3y ago
Whether or not you agree with the decision they obviously screwed up the execution something awful. This is humiliating for them and honestly setting altman free like they did was probably the permanent end of AI safety. Just take someone w

Practically all of the US includes almost everywhere I have lived except for major cities. Especially in the Midwest and ESPECIALLY in the South walking to get groceries is a death wish.

He was the chair of the board. And they were wrong very quickly. It very much sounds like they spoke for him. Or he pretended that he was going to stay and then backstabbed them. Which, given how strongly aligned with altman he seems to be,

This is the sector of the economy that ipos in cargo shorts I don't think formal writing would be expected or appreciated

They also said Greg was going to stay at the company and then he immediately quit. I find it very hard to believe that smart, savvy, and self interested are adjectives that apply to a board who doesn't know what their own chairman thin

Announcing something huge like this before market close is not something that can be interpreted as anything other than either a huge timing mistake or a massive feeling of urgency

by vikramkr 3y ago
Uhh, 10 kilometers is a LOT. I would not walk 6.2 miles for groceries. Or to work. Or to most things frankly

Given howany people are perfectly fine in relationships how many fewer people fight in wars than used to - forgive me if I write off the ideas from that discussion as more unsubstantiated ramblings from someone who has realized how useful a

Honestly I'm most surprised by how few people seem to recognize the channel lol. I figured maker YouTube and the open sauce type crowd would have a bigger level of representation here but I guess we all live in our bubbles!

And this is a perfect example of the type of conversation that happens when the correct answer is that we don't know the answer but everyone keeps talking in circles pretending there's a way to know with any certainty other than t

To give them credit and be fair to cruise though - in pharma the FDA makes pretty clear what's needed and doesn't let people just start selling drugs without proof they work (unless they were grandfathered in). If I was regulating

Ugh I hate how familiar the all caps yelling at gpt is. Its like - you've got 128k tokens now just do the damn work and provide an answer! I swear to God if I see "this is a complicated challenge" one more time... Honestly wo

If I was a regulator, that sounds like their problem not mine. They have the data. Let them analyze it. Maybe a different branch of the government could help them with that but if they're bringing the new tech that's on them to pr

It's not easy to act on the information in a car. But the technology is sure as hell advanced enough to tell if you hit someone. I mean it's literally video you can look at it

That's an interesting mechanism. If you know if there are any numbers on how often that happens?

by vikramkr 3y ago
Is that actually a thing? I don't think I've heard of a pattern like that
