Obviously there is no actual model. ChatGPT is just tens of thousands of people writing responses to user's queries in realtime.
Don't forget: Nov 12 - Sam posts tweets saying that the new GPT 4 Turbo model has been "improved a lot", after which people on the Reddit notice a significant change (to the positive) of responses.
If the bus gets stuck in traffic that means there is enough demand to run a subway (often as an elevated train). A bus is the easy solution to routes where there isn't much traffic and there isn't as many people who want to ride. (you don't need many people on a bus to pay for it)
I just hope he joins Google.
Not an option any more when you need to start dropping kids off at school first - not to mention the weather and safety.
He's mega rich. Doesn't matter what other people think about him at this point.
The concern is more about the competency of execution of good faith efforts.

package maintenance is hard and there's bugs. There needs to be a chain.
This is cool , Im just really confused, I somehow coincidentally was JUST playing Black Mesa this evening, ( Hl1 redone in Half-life Source Engine apparently by a fan base with permission) and I am ofcourse a bit surprised to hear this news ( as I rarely play games ) , but also because I don't understand how it relates to Black Mesa.

Black Mesa clearly seems to look better basically as its in the new engine ( but I note a couple of very small things are missing such as how you customise your player model in HL MP) - and it took a long time to make, so I am a bit confused why they have gone back to improve the original code but not port or not just improve Black Mesa. Sorry if I am out of the loop, I'm honestly just in the dark how the 2 product relate, reasoning wise.
If she was under investigation, the board would almost certainly bypass her for the interim CEO position, to mitigate the disruption if that investigation also turned out negative. (They might make her CEO after she was cleared, though, if it went the other way.)
Bachelor of Arts, MBA, and her whole career seems to be sitting on Boards of Directors and running "Foundations".
When I was mining with a bunch of RTX 3080s and RTX 3090s, the electricity cost (admittedly) was about $20/month per card. Running a 70B model takes 3-4 cards. Assuming you're pushing these cards to their extreme max, it's going to be $80/mo. Then again, ChatGPT is pretty awesome, and is likely running more than a 70B model (or I think I heard it was running an ensemble of models), so there's at least a ballpark.
This is cool but named pretty poorly. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with LLM's - TinyAIs would've been perfect.
Sam implied OpenAI had a major breakthrough a few weeks ago in a panel yesterday:

"Like 4 times now in the history of OpenAI, the most recent time was just in the last couple of weeks, I've gotten to be in the room when we sort of like, pushed the veil of ignorance back and the frontier of discovery forward. And getting to do that is like the professional honor of a lifetime".

This is going to sound terrible, but I really hope this is a financial or ethical scandal about Sam Altman personally and he did something terribly wrong, because the alternative is that this is about how close we are to true AGI.

Superhuman intelligence could be a wonderful thing if done right, but the world is not ready for a fast take-off, and the governance structure of OpenAI certainly wouldn't be ready for it either it seems.
We can certainly expect the 4-5 different programs to work with each other though. It's even happened before. For a brief period of time, AIM, MSN, and Yahoo all had some kind of interoperability with each other.
It would have to be extremely serious, obviously.

"review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board"

OK, so they tell us he was lying, which is precisely what "not consistently candid in his communications" means.

Possible topics for lying:

* copyright issues to do with ingestion of training data

* some sort of technical failure of the OpenAI systems

* financial impropriety

* some sort of human resources issue - affair with employee

* other - some sort of political power play? Word from Satya Nadella - "get rid of him"?

Possibly the reason is something that the board members felt exposed them personally to some sort of legal liability, thus if they did not act then they would have to pay a legal price later.

It has to be pretty serious to not make it public.
> arguably the hottest segment of the tech market

Yes it is arguable. OpenAI is nothing more than a really large piece of RAM and storage around a traditional model that was allowed to ingest the Internet and barfs pieces back up in prose making it sound like it came up with the content.
To make an example out of him?
Starting with the areas that already have sufficient density but don't have safe bike infrastructure: build a network of safe bike infrastructure.

The area I live in is like this. Philly and its surrounding suburbs are absolutely already dense enough to make cycling a practical way to get around, but it's not particularly safe or pleasant to do so.

So there's a lot of low-hanging fruit in places that are already pretty dense. But in addition to that, upzone broadly and remove parking minimums. I think there's a good chance that leads to higher densities pretty quickly in areas with high demand.
It's worth noting (though I'm not sure whether this is related), that Discord has announced that they're shutting down their ChatGPT-based bot[0], Clyde.

I mostly agree but Web Components is a web standards as is templates/custom elements now. Web Components are a standard.

You did ask. heh.

As I mentioned, I prefer direct standards or at least frameworks that make standards a main part of the design, even if only on output.

Standards are slower to finalize, frameworks front ran them via abstractions that may have been needed for a while --like Flash with interactivity before HTML5/canvas/svg/WebGL/etc and I was huge into Flash and plugins, those days are over though. Standards will be around longer and more maintainable on standard schedules not just feature/dependency pump frameworks of today that have verbloat.

Plugins and now frameworks innovate and front run, and influence standards, then standards win the long game every single time. Like why use virtual DOM when shadowdom is now available, unnecessary abstraction now that will always lose to native dom abstractions like shadowdom.

Right now with web standards where they are at, Javascript how far it has come, and the coming WebAssembly + WebGPU platforms now being ready or close to ready, the current frameworks are about to be lapped. It is just the way things go and the typical waves in innovation to standards and repeat.

About Lit, I mentioned it as I said in another comment "if you like the component style of other frameworks but want to use Web Components, Google Lit is quite nice"

We can agree to disagree on the rest.
Second half of the second sentence:

> ... customers can now access local, GPS-disciplined reference clocks on supported EC2 Instances.

Specialized hardware.
Would there be a better place or strategy?
Whatever it is, Open AI need to disclose the reason soon, otherwise speculation will undermine the whole AI market.

However big his transgressions may be, it's actual impact is finite, while the speculation can be infinite.
> Imagine if you were the CTO of a company, massively underestimated your AWS bill, and presented your board with something enormous. Maybe something like that happened?

I think the problem there is that the original CTO is now the interim CEO and they are on the board. So while that kind of scenario could make sense, it's a little hard to picture how the CTO would not know about something like that, and if they did you'd presumably not make them CEO afterward.
dang, I know you're busy with the OpenAI news melting things, but can we get the title of this post to be uneditorialized? This is about the new FSL license, not just about Sentry relicensing under FSL. The actual title is "Introducing the Functional Source License: Freedom without Free-riding."
It's a decrease in the rate of growth, which of course means the industry is doomed doomed doomed according to a big oil guy at the Wall Street Journal.

In reality there were some pretty big price bumps in the past year that softened demand and now they're having to walk those back via incentives. In other words normal business shit.
I think it's logical in these scenarios if you don't know what happened to presume something forgivable and maintain that relationship (cynically, opportunity to invest), and if something truly unforgivable comes out post another tweet.
I've been to Israel and know what you are saying. Most people I met in Tel-aviv are secular jews (and arabs) and really have a liberal mindset. Such a great vibe as well.

The problem of moderates (which I am part of in my country) is that they don't like to speak up or enter discussions with the extremist or crazies.

So those people speak unopposed while we stand on the sides just shaking our heads, and little by little (much faster now with internet) they attract followers.

If you like history you'll find these kind of social setup in many places, but most notoriously (Godwin's law, I know) in early 1930s Germany, where Hitler and the Nazi party were seen as extremist, clownish, etc... until suddenly they were in power and it was too late for people to fight them.

Moderates unite?
I do believe you are being genuine here, but good people still sometimes do bad things. Good people still have their blind spots, and the negative consequences of those blind spots are often exacerbated and have outsized (negative) impact on others when the person behind them is wealthy.

I've never met the man, but I can say I have not been impressed by his words and attitude in public. I never got the sense or feeling that he's actually doing right by the world.

Ultimately it doesn't matter if he's a good or bad person; what matters is what he's done.
Could also be pending investigation
I doubt that Altman voted to have himself removed so probably not unanimous. A movie scene about the reveal to the board would still be compelling.
Didn’t I just read a post about him abusing his sister? It seems impossible to judge people you don’t know well personally, and even then sometimes you can be surprisingly wrong.
> Is that normal person behavior?

Normal people suck and are generally dumb as a brick (including me). Normal people don't extrapolate calamities and don't think ten steps ahead.
OpenAI not only has stolen intellectual property from millions of people it’s also stealing it from users. Those “leaks” are openai training against data people upload - sensitive customer data, private information, proprietary source code, and so on.

Ai doesnt “learn”, it depends on data. The more the better. This guy wanted to get as much as possible to make their chat bot appear more intelligent at all cost.

I have the strong suspicion we will see a bunch of revelations soon some covering what i stated above.
I enjoyed it too. Surprisingly good, considering it was basically about a computer program, they managed to make it a human story.

(I wouldn't worry about the criticism from the know-nothings below; I doubt a single one has ever had the slightest involvement in making a film so they're just ignorant loudmouths)
I'm starting to think what people say reflect their own thought about other people, and not facts we should accept depending on their net worth
I think you might be using a very narrow definition of "city". There are tons of small cities around the country where you can choose between a downtown apartment, a townhome in a development, separate small house on a half lot in a canopied neighborhood, or a big house with a half acre of land, all within easy biking distance of the city center. And even those 1000 sq ft houses on half lots can and do hold the old car that you want to be able to wrench on.
Nope. This was all in house. But we are talking at home lifts for the rich and lazy (and sometimes elderly). And there was quite a bit of electronics in it with processors at each floor, on the control panel and for the motor controller and so on. So the cost added up. But yeah, I agree, some more flash would have been worth it.
> Why is it catching on? In the best light because it actually is a tremendous productivity accelerator. In the worst light, because we live in a world that incentivizes "fake it til you make it".

It's great at a few things and pretty good at a lot of things. In my view, the thing that it's the absolute best at is churning out low value, rarely-read communication. There is a massive amount of that type of communication - spam, student essays, procedural documents for compliance. There are loads of jobs that need to do that sort of thing regularly and it's a godsend for them.
What's the deal with his sister? Never heard about her.
Electric 'Cyber-Hummer' H1 Could Crush a GMC Hummer EV Off-Road
I suspect you may be right.

I think OpenAI has made some really bad decisions with the core tech even while making great decisions with the overall services, and from Altman's various comments over the past two years I was under the impression this was coming from him.

The only reason I'm skeptical of this is the abruptness of it all. Why it needed to happen with a 24h turnaround is bizarre, unless there was something like an internal meeting last week regarding GPT-5 where his doomerism was even more sending things off the rails and there was a reactionary immediate "we no longer have faith you can do this."
Show HN: Personal traits (BIG 5) and recruitment process
I am trying to figure out whether there is any correlation between personal traits of a person (e.g. one's extraversion/introversion) and one's preferences towards recruitment process.

It might be, in today's extraversion oriented world we might be missing something while creating recruitment processes.

CTO pick is strange. But hey, it’s now a female led company so the board can pat itself on the back.

When the costs of running those gas cars becomes irrational to continue, purchasing behaviour will accelerate. We keep being surprised how fast this transition is happening, those surprises are more likely to continue than not.

2035 is a long time away. iPhone was released 16 years ago and the world changed within the next decade.

When cheap cars and trucks really arrive the primary limit will be supply. ~nobody uses feature phones anymore. Electric vehicles could well be like that once we get real scale, and especially in countries that don’t currently have very high car ownership because they won’t be defending the old regime. Countries that embrace and accelerate this change will receive the most economic benefits.
It is possible that there is no algorithm that is understandable by normal humans or humans at all in the sense of the typical algorithmic approach of quick sort, etc.

In other words, the algorithm is very long for a relatively reduced programming language.
No direct connection that I see, just adding to OP's timeline of weird, security-ish stuff that's happened around OpenAI in the last two weeks.
Of course I enjoy leveling up and choosing skills and exploring dungeons, but plenty of games implement those same mechanics at least as well as DQ. For me, the distinguishing feature of the Dragon Quest franchise (today*) is its charm: The charismatic cast of endearing enemies. The regional accents of the NPCs. The wordplay, the art, the music. Even the venerable hanging leather sack is enough to make me smile.

*I say "today" because earlier translations were not very good, as the article mentions. As I recall, even DQ7 on PS1 was pretty rough. But the English localization of DQ8 in 2005 was a masterpiece, and I think this is the one that set the bar for the future of the franchise (including remakes of earlier entries).
On the contrary, the video you linked to is likely to be part of the lie that ousted Altman.

He's also said very recently that to get to AGI "we need another breakthrough" (source https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/has-sam-altman-gone-full-g... )

To predicate a company so massive as OpenAI on a premise that you know to not be true seems like a big enough lie.
- Cant be a personal scandal, press release would be worded much more differently

- Board is mostly independent and those independent dont have equity

- They talk about not being candid - this is legalese for “lying”

The only major thing that could warrant something like this is Sam going behind the boards back to make a decision (or make progress on a decision) that is misaligned with the Charter. Thats the only fireable offense that warrants this language.

My bet: Sam initiated some commercial agreement (like a sale) to an entity that would have violated the “open” nature of the company. Likely he pursued a sale to Microsoft without the board knowing.
Alas, parking spots are a) only assigned when you have a car (gotta love UK bureaucracy!) and b) hugely wait-listed around here. There are garages and little locker things but, again, hugely wait-listed. Some estates around here have installed those green corrugated metal bike mini-sheds but, annoyingly, the people in charge around here seem to hate the idea.
The whole ai market is rife with ip theft and privacy violations. The cat’s out of the bag.
> Paradoxically it also means that improving transit travel times also improves driving times.

This is part of what I'm saying. If mass transit is improved, more people use it, so driving is still faster.

> There Venn diagram of people that want walkable cities and better transit might as well be a circle.

Walkable city works well with public transit along longer and simpler routes, like between cities or cross-town express. I'm not interested in public transit that stops every 2 blocks.
Or maybe Eric Schmidt is worse than we think. ;-) (half joking)
Probably because people pay for the service and then feel the need to justify its expense at any opportunity no matter how appropriate.
It is an odd statement since Ilya and Mira are CTOs. How does a CEO obfuscate technical issues from your CTOs?
Nope. His line was to limit others by saying "regulate us," which he has successfully achieved. That's a win for him and a loss for the industry. Unfortunately, this is not the last of him we will hear. He will be the one who shapes our dystopian future.
In fact, Mistral is so exciting that I think it has some direct relationship to the topic of this discussion (they still don’t talk about how they trained it, at all).

Perhaps there was some, how to say it, unexpected technology transfer, with Sam somehow involved.
I think companies prefer to develop AI stuff and then sell it, rather than sell the hardware.
Xeeted
I am quite sympathetic to the view point that Arab countries don't want a Jewish state in the middle east, and that when Muslims become majority, they don't want to peacefully co-exist with Jews and others. I am not ignorant about Gaza and the West bank are different.

There are so many people out there who explain Hamas' attack in terms of these: (a) Israel subverting two-state solution (b) apartheid in the West bank in order to protect settlers. This view point has many supporters even among non-Muslims in the West. What do you say about that to those who condemn Hamas' attack on Oct 7 and who also subscribe to the foregoing explanation?
the captcha on https://archive.ph is an endless loop of clicking the "I'm not a robot" reCAPTCHA checkbox for me. sometimes i'm lucky enough to get to the "click all boxes that have a bus" and i never know if the one tile that has a fraction of the side mirror counts as being a bus or not. sometimes i guess correctly, and sometimes i find myself in another endless loop of identifying objects. i suspect it's a nanny service on my work machine because if i fire up a windows sandbox instance and archive the site there, i can sometimes get some luck.

it's a stiff price to pay for getting around the data science medium articles that require a sign up, and then an app, and then a subscription.
It's a whole different engine that may have some advantages that make it worth checking out over or in addition to the updates Valve has made for this special release: improved performance (through a more efficient culling system, etc), support for modern features like dynamic lighting, use of HL mods on newer systems by providing compatibility fixes. The engine can also run other games and works on mobile devices with less common screen resolutions, but YMMV. For a while, it was a good fallback to the official game if you were having a problem with it on new or less-supported hardware, but with this anniversary release, maybe it is less "necessary" and more "cool" to use an OSS alternative engine.
Not everyone that you don't like is a fraudster. Just say that you don't like Sam, no need to make an obviously absurd comparison. The reason those were bad CEOs were that they swindled investors and lied about what their corporation is doing. I have absolutely no opinion on Sam Altman (didn't know about him before openai) btw, it's just that the comparison is completely nonsensical.

(It reminds me of comparing AI to crypto because both have hype behind them.)
