I believe most major news orgs have secure anonymous mechanisms for communicating with them. E.g. the guardian etc.
Inpainting and outpainting of images is when the model generates bits inside or outside the image that don't exist. By analogy he was talking about generating sound inside (I.e. filling gaps) or outside (extrapolating beyond the end) the audio.

I don't know why you would think he was talking about inpainting images, words. This whole discussion is about speech synthesis.
We revamped our website in response to consistent feedback stating that our old site was dull and made it challenging to understand our product offering. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide constructive feedback on our second redesign.

Thanks in advance!
If AI gets to human levels of intelligence (ie. can do novel research in theoretical physics) then at the very least it’s likely that over time it will be able to do this reasoning faster than humans. I think it’s very hard to imagine a scenario where we create an actual AGI and then within a few years at most of that event the AGIs are far more capable than human brains. That would imply there was some arbitrary physical limit to intelligence but even within humans the variance is quite dramatic.
It's not just management politics - it's about money and what they want to work on.

A lot of researchers like to work on cutting edge stuff, that actually ends up in a product. Part of the reason why so many researchers moved from Google to OpenAI was to be able to work on products that get into production.

> Sounds like they aren't spending enough time actually working.
Lmao I love how people come down to personal attacks on people.
But there is already diversity within species. Species are a human construct developed to describe similar groups of living organisms.

Look at the diversity within canis lupus familiaris, the domesticated dog.

Yes a moth with different wing shape is regarded as a separate species.
According to Scott Manleys video, it seems like an oxygen leak. You can see below that from that point onwards, oxygen depletion rate increased.

Maybe this lack of oxygen led to the engines flaming out early, triggering the AFTS.
Most of the complexity in a modern modem chip is for compatibility with legacy networks. if Apple decided to make a chip which would be launched in one country only and only work on 4G or 5G then I think they could do that within a year
My takeaway from this is the future of AI shouldnt be left to the american kindergarten
You may not always be in control of the Python version, for example if you depend on the Python provided by your OS. You may also want to use a newer Python version for its features, support (bugfixes) and libraries, so you'll need to rewrite things.

Java also has versions, but they generally don't remove things. You can keep your ugly code and use the latest version of the language.
I think they were exprimenting with a more advanced 3.5 version for non-paying users - it was showing to some people as an option between gpt-3.5 and gpt4
Disheartening that this received both little attention and mostly callous replies.

Yes, I felt the same. In every piece, there was very little news but a lot of fluff to lead the public with opinions. Probably VCs saw their money burning and wanted Sam back at the helm to protect their asset.
Or, to say it another way, they are cooperating with OpenAI - OpenAI uses Microsoft's cloud services, and Microsoft incorporates OpenAI's products in its own offerings. But the worries people have are not about OpenAI's products suddenly vanishing, it's about the turmoil at OpenAI affecting the future of those products.

Actually the exodus of talent from OpenAI may turn out to be beneficial for the development of AI by increasing competition - however it will certainly go against the stated goal of the board for firing Altman, which was basically keeping the development under control.
Kara Swisher was basically working as Altman’s press secretary
It being "alive" is sort of what AGI implies (depending on your definition of life).

Now consider the training has caused it to have undesirable behavior (misaligned with human values).
It's not as nice as Iosevka, but it's up there on my list of monospaced coding typefaces for graphical editors. (Terminals need chunky bitmap fonts, the Atari ST hi-res mono font being a particular favorite of mine.)

> So, here's what happened at OpenAI tonight. Mira planned to hire Sam and Greg back. She turned Team Sam over past couple of days. Idea was to force board to fire everyone, which they figured the board would not do. Board went into total silence. Found their own CEO Emmett Shear

Written by the person who broke the story at Bloomberg.

So it appears a single person on the board wanted the talks to bring him back, and nobody else. I think that's 1 against 3, but the point is that the board wasn't totally united (which is not surprising).
Imagine how bad a reputation EA would have if the general public knew about HPMOR
Which is weird because Nvidia/TSMC must have some leverage over MS there and could ship out containers of their big cluster units.

Also AWS could be the sugar daddy.
Stop thinking about posting things and talk to a lawyer. I'm 100% serious here. Depending on what you post you could end up either a) sued for libel/slander/illegally recording (CA is a two-party consent state), or b) you could end up called as a witness for any legal action in the fallout of this situation. Seriously, look out for yourself, my dude, there's billions of dollars at stake here, and in a fight between whales the shrimp's back gets broken.
Rest in peace OpenAI. Microsoft's investment might have just gone from one of the best of the decade to one of the worst in the course of a weekend.
> They are licensed exclusively and irrevocably to Microsoft, and operated by Microsoft, not OpenAI.

No wonder why CEO got fired.
We see alignment problems all the time. Current systems are not particularly smart or dangerous. But they lie on purpose and funnily enough considering the current situation, Microsoft's attempt was threatening users shortly after launch.
Slap a mutex on that beast!

This is expected behavior for setting a GLOBAL variable without a lock on the memoryspace..
Wouldn't simply others pick up the slack then?
No worries, Sam managed to lobby congress enough that they will make research quite R&D.
> Why can't they, for instance, simply declare that school/offices open at 10am instead of 9am for six designated months every year instead of imposing this adjustment on the entire world.

Or, if you extrapolate this argument further, you could even wonder why the entire world can't run on a single timezone.

But here's the problem: for example, imagine it's UTC everywhere on Earth. No local timezones.

As per your solution, people in India can go to sleep at 4:30 pm (UTC), wake up at 12:30 am, have lunch at 7:30 am etc.

Likewise, people in San Francisco can go to bed at 6 am, wake up at 2 pm, have lunch at 9 pm etc.

Now, the problem is, when someone wants to setup an international meeting or whatever, nobody would have a clear idea or whether it would be "sleeping time" for any of the participants involved, without having to look it up.

Like, with the current setup, it's kind of universally understood that 3 am local time is sleeping time, hence people would avoid setting up meetings at that time.

But if everywhere on Earth it's the same time such as UTC, I would have no idea if 3 am UTC is your sleeping time or lunch time or whatever. I would have to maintain lookup tables of when the sleep time, lunch time etc would be for every country as per UTC.

Similar problems exist (to a lesser degree) when large countries move to a single timezone.

Yes there are flaws in the existing setup, but moving to a single timezone for large countries would only introduce a new set of challenges.
If folks care enough to move to Azure, I think they might as well derisk entirely from OpenAI models, despite its quality?
WG14 also doesn't want to provide safer string and array manipulation libraries for decades, even Dennis Ritchie failed to get fat pointers into ISO C, why should fixing this be any different?
RIP OpenAI. You’ll be left in the dust.
They are both just data being made hard to read, though. You could pretty much sum up the "risks" of encryption as: you want to read some data that someone else didn't want you to read. Which means you might fail to detect something, or fail to prove something as easily as if you could read that data. While we could enumerate specific examples of scenarios that fit the generalization, I think we are talking about something pretty narrow. It is also not really a new problem. Historically communication has been impossible to snoop on at scale, and encryption exists to maintain a semblance of past privacy in the present.

Lol not sure where I want to take this and it's getting pretty late...
The fact that this outcome occurred proves the board's resolve & determination (stubbornness?) but not much else.

some important questions:
- if Ilya had 4:2, why not just sit Sam down and work all this out in private?
- why has the board been completely unable to explain themselves to OAI employees? to the public?
- why not take a more neutral "parting ways" tone?
- latest reporting suggests that the board is doing this without any outside council (legal or professional network). it seems absolutely bonkers to risk funding sources eg MSFT on a decision like this.
A deprecation in Python will be followed by removal a few years from now (where a few ≈ 2 in recent practice).
Is there anything (law, bylaws, valuation) that is used to decide how many people should be on the board of OpenAI?

It looks like the current board (4 people?) can do absolutely whatever they want and they report to nobody? Nobody can replace them?

Second question: in a hypothetical situation that they all died, who and how would pick the new board? The CEO? What if the CEO died too? I think a case like this happened after some helicopter crash in Australia - where everyone entered the same helicopter and died.
I'm still surprised how little attention there has been on the fact that Sam Altman's sister is accusing him of sexually assaulting her when she was younger.

His own sister, even if it's not true, it reflects poorly to have this kind of relationship with your sister that she'd say this, and if it's true, it's very problematic.

And for some reason, very very little mention of this. I just find it suspicious from a media behavior point of view.
Or is it an example of American democracy and its culture of dissent?
These are very strong and unwarranted convictions. Did you watch never ending seinfeld? I know "the AI will keep getting better". I guess we'll see about that.
One option could be using proot or pKVM to run a full-fledged Linux distro and packages, instead of the limited Termux packages.

But of course, there's no guarantee that it would still work in the future.

if tarball or path is user input then they could be used to inject tar command options.
It’s not the job of the media to root for anyone. The media should dispassionately report the truth. In this case they did not do so.
The information is a 300 dollar annual subscription, I don’t think they will allow it
The right thing to do is to create a new thread safe api and implement that and then standardize it. Hard but very unsexy work.
None of them seem to have mentioned it, but indeed it is confirmed he had very little equity in the company.

This seems like a fairly unconventional idea in a capitalist world where Altman has made all his money on exactly that - equity.

Seems like it has ultimately bit him, the investors, and the board in the ass. Poor incentive structure in the corporate governance is going to really mess with people's heads.
NYTimes has the SecureDrop tip submission which uses Tor (see details at https://www.nytimes.com/tips)
> I still cannot process what’s happened to one of the most prominent and hyped companies of the past year in just one weekend.

That's kinda what happened. The latest gist I read was that the non-profit, idealistic(?) board clashed with the for-profit, hypergrowth CEO over the direction to take the company. When you read the board's bios, they're weren't ready for this job (few are; these rocket ship stories are rare), the rocket ship got ahead of their non-profit goals, and they found themselves in over their heads, then failed to game out how this would go over (poor communication with MS, not expecting Altman to get so much support).

From here, the remaining board either needs to either surface some very damning evidence (the memo ain't it) or step down and let MS and Sequoia find a new board (even if they're not officially entitled to do that). Someone needs to be saying mea culpa.
Not for production stuff, but for quick hacks I'll wire it up to SNS and send emails via SNS queue.
The context must be lost on me. The linked video is about Cathie Wood and doesn’t mention Sam Altman once. Is there some missing backstory?

Actual video about Altman with this title: https://youtu.be/N0b_DKmB84A
It's useful notation even when we're not dealing with mathematical infinities. Unless you have a better alternative for the same purpose, "don't use it" is a pretty bad answer. It's being used for pretty much the same meaning. Not meaningless at all.
@karpathy on Twitter:

I just don’t have anything too remarkable to add right now. I like and respect Sam and I think so does the majority of OpenAI. The board had a chance to explain their drastic actions and they did not take it, so there is nothing to go on except exactly what it looks like.

Why some random starting point like when a religion started counting? Ofcourse you have to start from the beginning of the universe. THAT will put things in perspective!
What is the real question here (if there is one). Where one lives, just like everything else has trade offs. And like most (but not all) trade offs the value or the opportunity cost is relative to the individual incurring it. Generally speaking people go where the economic opportunities are because today you need to be a part of the economy to survive. This increases your dependence on things and people. Life in a rural area decreases your dependence on things relatively speaking. Also which stage of your life you are in changes the cost equation. If you have kids you may be someone who doesn’t want their children growing up in a podunk town with few resources. However the opposite could be true for some people where they prefer a smaller idyllic environment compared to a “commoditized” city /urban environment. There is no right or wrong here but where you feel more safe / content. And for most people that is an urban/city or suburban environment. Rural living is definitely on the edges there.
One route is if AI (not through malice but simply through incompetence) plays a part in a terrorist plan to trick the US and China or US and Russia into fighting an unwanted nuclear war. A working group I’m a part of, DISARM:SIMC4, has a lot of papers about this here: https://simc4.org
It's to do with a tribe in openAI that believes ai will take over the world in the next 10 years so we need to spend much of our efforts towards that goal. What that translates to is strong prompt censorship and automated tools to ban those who keep asking things we don't want you to ask.

Sam has been agreeing with this group and using this as the reason to go commercial to provide funding for that goal. The problem is these new products are coming too fast and taking resources which affects the resources they can use for safety training.

This group never wanted to release chatGPT but were forced to because a rival company made up of ex openAI employees were going to release their own version. To the safety group things have been getting worse since that release.

Sam is smart enough to use the safety group's fear against them. They finally clued in.

OpenAI never wanted to give us chatGPT. Their hands were forced by a rival and Sam and the board made a decision that brought in the next breakthrough. From that point things snowballed. Sam knew he needed to run before bigger players moved in. It became too obvious after devday that the safety team would never be able to catch up and they pulled the breaks.

OpenAI's vision of a safe AI has turned into a vision of human censorship rather than protecting society from a rogue AI with the power to harm.
This weird assumption that what amounts to just a competent chatbot will somehow "be good" at everything at some point in the future is just starting to sound like faith based argument to me.
Dunno, "Resistance is futile"?
I doubt Sam was personally that involved in the mechanics of the models.

But there is an alternative scenario.. in order for Microsoft to avoid loosing any momentum they might offer Altman an insane amount of money to become the John Giannandrea of Microsoft and bring as many of his recent colleagues with him. And for Altman this might be the easiest way to not loose ground as well with Microsofts patents and license agreements.
I think you might be reading stricter definitions into some words than I intended.

If Everett, WA; Renton, WA; and North Charleston, SC, are not urbanized areas, what are they?

If a factory with a ZIP code in San Antonio, TX, isn't in a city, where is it?

Going closer to home for me: is Red Bud, IL, not a city? Hecker? Freeburg? Mascoutah? Belleville?

That city job I wrote about was not in St. Louis.
You reckon 30% (made up) of staff having a personal 'alignment' with (or, put another way, 'having sworn an oath of fealty to') a CEO is something investors would like?

Seems like a bit of a commercial risk there if the CEO can 'make' a third of the company down tools.
I don't get the vibe that Swisher particularly likes techbros or billionaires, let alone bat for them.
I think it's possible that Sam had some secret plans involving deals with external companies, that the board learned about. They can't reveal that information without potentially damaging other businesses and becoming liable.
Is it possible to generate new tables within Ultorg? Specifically, for the purpose of experimenting with a novel schema using test data.
X Windows, VNC, RDP, Citrix have been doing it for decades, depending on the the network availability naturally.

This is just Microsoft wanting a bigger slice of that market for themselves.
Because a salesman’s skills complements those of a researcher. Salesman sells what the researcher built and brings in money to keep the lights on. Researcher gets to do what they love without having to worry about the real world. That’s a much sweeter deal than a micromanaging PI.
In Twitter's case that's the main product getting worse without any of the wannabes getting that much traction.

> american kindergarten

what point are you trying to make here exactly?
Totally agree. It seems like OpenAI is ahead of the curve, but even some free open source projects have become really good. I am no expert, so take this with a grain of salt. It seems OpenAI has a lead, but only of a few months or so and others are racing behind. I guess it really sucks if you built something that relies on the OpenAI api, but even then one could replace the api layer.
yeah... as more folks join the no-uppercase wave, it makes me consider using capitals again. but, its just a lot more of an expressive way to talk to another human in a text based format.
The money he made was above board, the tax that he failed to pay was the real issue.

Through all of this, no one has cogently explained why Altman leaving is such a big deal. Why would workers immediately quit their job when he has no other company, and does he even know who these workers are? Are these people that desperate to make a buck (or the prospect of big bucks)? It seems like half of the people working at the non-profit were not actually concerned about the mission but rather just waiting out their turn for big bucks and fame.

What does Altman bring to the table besides raising money from foreign governments and states, apparently? I just do not understand all of this. Like, how does him leaving and getting replaced by another CEO the next week really change anything at the ground level other than distractions from the mission being gone?

And the outpouring of support for someone who was clearly not operating how he marketed himself publicly is strange and disturbing indeed.
Would that apply to an international call?

Not that I am encouraging the GP. I upvoted the “laaaaaaaawyer” comment.
> maybe 100+ years away

I have two toddlers. This is within their lifetimes no matter what. I think about this every day because it affects them directly. Some of the bad outcomes of ASI involve what’s called s-risk (“suffering risk”) which is the class of outcomes like the one depicted in The Matrix where humans do not go extinct but are subjugated and suffer. I will do anything to prevent that from happening to my children.
My main beef as someone living in cities is suburbanites wanting to impose all the costs of their lifestyle on those living in the actual city. The need for automobiles in actual rural places is fairly obvious.
Same

If OpenAI ceases to be Sam’s vision someone will replace it.

It is a good thing for the ecosystem I guess, we will have more diverse products to choose.

But making AI more safe? Not likely. The tech will spread and Ilya will probably not a safer AGI, because he will not control it
This is pretty cool, a little clumsy though.

The $35/mo pricing seems off to me. DataGrip is $9 a month and feels more capable - though I only spent a couple of hours with ultorg but I didn't see any benefit worth paying 3x for. Again though, only a couple of hours of use. I also don't know why I'd be paying more for a tool than I am for the database service its connecting to.
