We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.
We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
Seems like the person running the simulation had enough and loaded the earlier quicksave.
What a roller coaster of I don’t give a shit.
I don’t really care, but I find it highly entertaining :D It’s like trash TV for technology fans (and as text, which makes it even better) :D
I was really hooked. But part of me believes they are the closest thing to AGI we have right now. Also, I use chatgpt premium a ton and would hate to see it die.
I’ve heard so much conflicting shit over this event that I have no idea what to believe
Ironically, your comment about summarizes ChatGPT.
Does it really matter? It’s the usual corporate intrigues/power struggle/backstabbing/whatever. Just for some reason leaked into public view instead of being behind the scenes like it’s normally done, probably because someone is stupid.
These article titles need different headlines and they need to date them. We’ve seen this same headline 3 or 4 times now within the last week and yet nobody knows which point is what unless we cross-reference the dates in the articles. Which coincidentally are always in ^^small text hidden by the title^^ and could simply be solved by having a date in the title.
That could apply to almost anything in the news nowadays.
The complete victory of money.
Eh, not sure I agree. Seems to also have been between too little and too much AI safety, and I strongly feel like there’s already too much AI safety.
At this point, investors be like oh shit, these fuckers have no idea what they’re doing
It’s a non-profit. There are no investors.
Microsoft gave them some money in return for IP rights… and they will potentially one day get their money back (and more) if OpenAI is ever able to pay them, but they’re not real investors. The amount of money Microsoft might get back is limited.
It’s a non-profit. There are no investors.
Hah.
OpanAI, Inc. is non-profit. OpenAI Global is a for-profit entity, and has been for years now. They’re trying to have their cake and eat it, too.
but the non profit controls the for profit. that is not even that unusual. Mozilla works the same way
Ok so Microsoft is giving out money now, instead of investing in profit potential? Cool!
Game of Microsoft.
This whole stunt reminds me of a certain former OpenAI board member…
Welcome to the Silicon Valley clown college.
Wasn’t it that Microsoft hired him already???
I believe they did but were of the understanding he’d go back to OpenAI if the board changed their mind (like what happened). It was basically his golden parachute.
So what, can’t he be a CEO hired by Microsoft?.. I dunno, this looks like some 5D chess.
Sure, that’s possible.
But Microsoft never actually signed an employment contract with Sam and it doesn’t look like they ever will. Just because someone says they plan to do something doesn’t mean it will happen.

I mistook Larry Summers as Larry Elison (ex Oracle) previously and made a comment that it gone from bad to worse.
I’m retracting it, I don’t know much about Larry Summers.
He’s a democratic swamp creature. He’s a Rubinite economist who’s been slinking around Washington since the Clinton administration. He was also the president of Harvard for a while and got a cameo in The Social Network.
I guess I should have defined rubinite: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2013/09/summers-flop-end-of-the-rubinites.html
I was confused about that as his Wikipedia page didn’t show anything that bad, but didn’t want to get into that :D
