This isn’t believable. You don’t fire a CEO and put out a press release accusing them of lying over Dev day. Unless he told them he wasn’t going to announce it and then did.

If this is the actual reason and a bunch of top talent walks away then this might honestly topple Satya. The deal with OpenAI looked like a slam dunk, but may now turn out to be mostly worthless if R&D stalls out.

Right, so he’s going to flee the US for China?!? Come on.

This is turning into a situation that OpenAI may not be able to recover from. Typically if the CEO and Chair of the board depart under these circumstances there was something illegal happening.

This is certainly a take, but MSFT would probably sue the hell out of them if they tried to do this.

That’s not big enough to immediately terminate him.

We just don’t know enough yet. Sam could’ve been let go over a disagreement about direction. Or he could’ve been cooking the books. Or he could’ve been concealing the true operating costs. Or subscriber numbers. Some of those things just re

Something big and bad was going on at OpenAI, and if I were MSFT I would be very nervous about the money that you’ve invested in OpenAI right now.

Most of these people presumably have PhDs from top tier universities. So... don't think you'd be able to jump aboard this train without going back to school for a bit.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the usual real estate shills will be by to assure us that were not in a bubble and that prices only go up.

Where is the link to the original paper? Was this article written by AI?

TIL. Thanks for pointing that out!

Nope. Loom was last valued at $1.5 billion in 2021, so with this acquisition a lot of people's options undoubtedly got totally wiped out due to liquidation preferences.

Pay more or let them go. That’s it. If the job suddenly requires on call, and someone refuses to comply then show them the door and hire someone else with the explicit expectation that there will be on-call.

There’s some subtext that I think most commentators are missing. NAR and some of the major brokerages have been under intense anti-trust legal pressure this year. By all measures it seems that these lawsuits are working. REMAX just settled

It really seems unnecessary at this point. Now that we have satellite based internet and 4G/5G are legit competitors to regular wire based ISPs it just seems that the market has solved this by itself. Sure, Comcast _could_ still start

Insert Gru meme: Panel 1: we invade Ukraine. Panel 2: we hold back our best forces to bait the west into an ultimate conflict from which we will emerge victorious! Panel 3: we lose the war in Ukraine. Panel 4: we lose the war in Ukraine? Br

You also have to preserve most of that food for the non-harvest months. There's a reason why famine was common and widespread before modern agriculture.

Where’s the beef? There’s no data. No evaluation of how well the model does. They’re also going to limit themselves to just the pandemic period (which is probably a very biased time period in the stock market).

I'm only in my mid 30s. I'm _very_ convinced that the world was a better place overall before 2008. Before smartphones, and social media.

Until we have definitive evidence that LK99 is a SC, there's no reason to believe that it is a promising lead.

Pretty much only true if you are a body builder or someone else with an unusual amount of muscle mass relative to your height. For the vast majority of people though BMI is fine.

It's painfully clear that the future of the web is not open. Everyone is going to put their site behind a paywall with onerous TOS to keep AI companies from stealing all their content. RIP the golden age of the internet.

I think it is very important for people to understand that terrestrial sensors are orders of magnitude cheaper for most applications, and are typically far more accurate too. There's a reason why most remote sensing companies go out of

Honestly, running a mile a day, every day, would do more for most people's health than just about any other change they could make. And most people can run a single mile in less than 20 minutes. The benefits of short exercise are well

Pretty much just an accounting trick. From their prepared statement: > During Q2, we recognized a $386 million unrealized pre-tax gain related to the revaluation of our equity investments. Our GAAP net income may continue to see swings f

There is no way that miles of sheathed superconducting material would be more toxic than burning leaded fuel for decades.

Nah, everything is just going to be proctored exams on paper in the future. Sucks for the pro take-home project crowd, but they ruined it for themselves.

Yes, there will be some abuse. But the question should be will we still reduce suffering overall? Fighting your own mind is insufferable. It is not humane to let people wander the streets locked in an eternal battle with themselves. I vote
