I'm going to throw the theory out there that Sam leaked/sold the full GPT models to Microsoft (or another competitor).

A lot of other theories don't match because the board was in an extreme hurry to get him out (voting him out in the middle of the night, not even waiting for markets to close to announce it), must have proof of serious misconduct and the need to immediately distance themselves from Sam (otherwise the language would not be as bridge-burning as it is) and a major financial or technical failure seems unlikely, since the CFO remains and the CTO was even promoted to interim CEO - they seem to be trusted, still, so it must have been something Sam did on his own.

Leaking/Selling the full models matches, as this would violate OpenAIs non-profit terms, would be something Sam could do without the C-Suite being implicated and (given the data contained in the training set) might even be legal hot water, justifying this drastic reaction and immediate distancing.

> Someone with access to any of the cloud provider services on the market is able to whip out and scale up whole web applications with far more flexibility and speed than any conceivable on-premises setup managed with the same budget.

Bullshit. I've seen people spin wheels for months/years deploying their cloud native jank and you should read the article - it's not nearly the same budget.

> Think about it for a second. With the exact same budget, how do you pull off a multi-region deployment with an on-premises setup managed by your on-premises linux admins?

You do realize things like site interconnect exist right? And it likely will be cheaper than paying your cloud inter-region transfer fees. You're going to be testing multi-regional prototype? please

Look there's a very simple reason why folks have been chasing public clouds and it has nothing to do their marketing spiel of elastic compute, increased velocity, etc. That reason is simple - teams get control of their spend without having to ask anyone for permission (like the old-school infra team).
I assume you're talking about the Modelfile in ollama. AFAIK it doesn't work with other models. It may also be a bit more low-level, since it has information about the LoRA adapter. That said, there are some things that are overlapping, and we'll reach out to the ollama team to see if an aiconfig integration makes sense.
Did you learn something new?
For the next 10 years, I don't think we'll see an oversupply of batteries. There's simply too many ready to deploy applications for them that will accelerate as cost comes down.

Grid storage is the major one. As price starts to decline you are going to see power providers soak up any excess battery supply.

This nonspecific snippet reads like, at best, bandwagoning, and possibly more down the spectrum towards dramamongering. Can you comment a little more specifically on what you think happened that wasn't "explored".
There's a link in the first reply to the tweet. X bafflingly made the decision to display links as just images recently so it's easy to miss. Unfortunately it's for paid subs only.

Fun theory. We are very far from AGI, however.
I am dubious of these numbers.

If I could really buy 1 kWh of cells for $130, I would expect to see them show up on eBay for not much more than that. (Or, even for less, because eBay has a lot of factory seconds, damaged goods, etc)

However, prices for new bare cells on eBay is more than double the numbers quoted in this article.

It makes me think there are market distortions going on, and the real price is differing from the advertised price.
I highly doubt he's ideologically driven. He's as much of a VC loving silicon valley tech-bro as the next. The company has been anything but "open".
The Story of the Self (2012)
The statement doesn't read like it was a financial problem. If it were, they’d name a CFO or raise the inexplicably cheap subscription, for one.

My money is on a MilTech contract. Same got it approved in secrecy without telling the others; Greg had to know for signature and didn’t tell others. Neither could speak about it, hence the lack of candor, uncharacteristic from fairly straight-shooter Sam. Explains why Eric Schmidt knew to congratulate him immediately and why he’s not ashamed.

Alternatively, Google keeps showing a non-existent tweet of Sam announcing a presidential run in 2024. Maybe the board didn’t like that he didn’t tell them. Also explains why Eric would know more.
Are non-profit businesses allowed to sell? Who gets the money?
Lots of people just lay some planks down over the joists.
Certainly they could have fired him without Ilya's vote.
Possibly. But that doesnt sound serious enough to constitute "hindering [the board's] ability to exercise its responsibilities".

Maybe its the off-the-books Weapons Division with all those factories in obscure eastern European countries. Or the secret lab with the agi that almost escaped its containment. /s

Money or power. I guess someone will eventually talk, and then we'll know.

oh, okay, I see I am speaking with someone who is delusional, and likely has a chip on their shoulder.

If you can come up with evidence that any significant number of kids are being taught that white people are, and I'm quoting you here, "inherently evil", I'll eat my hat.

As one of authors of Heroes III one I could say Xash3D is amazing project worth to check for Source 1 game fans.

Given that personnel matters affecting an individual on the board often have mandatory recusal of the affected party, that's likely a 4-0 or two 4-1 decisions, depending on how they were structured.

This can't be right -- Microsoft must already have GPT-4 weights, because they have an in-house fine tune to power Bing Creative.
A lot of the allegations relate to conduct that happened before he was an employee. In that case he could only be disciplined for lying about the conduct.
I wonder why there's so little interest in fixing all the footguns in C++. I guess it doesn't matter much now since C++ is the new Fortran, but there are so many little things they could fix with a -std= flag.

* Reaching the end of a function the should return a value but doesn't should be an error by default.

* char is 8 bits

* they probably can't fix the broken bitwise operator precedence, but they can require brackets

* require braces for if & for bodies

* make vector::operator[] range checked by default (and add an unchecked version)

I guess by the time you get to the point of proposing changes to C++ you have Stockholm syndrome.

I guess they did add string::starts_with at least. After like 30 years.
Nice thing about going to a bar is, you can stare into the eyes of a stranger, and even get to know them if you both like what the other sees.

Dota 2 is a complete re-implementation that Valve did independently. Dota is a Warcraft 3 mod. Icefrog was the main persona of someone who balanced the game. Valve was able to bring him over from Dota to work on Dota 2.
He personally doesn't have time or motivation or desire to buy a Mac just to support it, but he also won't reject pull requests from others to add MacOS support.
That's a very extreme example not representative of day-to-day operation.
The board’s letter pretty explicitly said he lied to them (he was not “consistently candid”). That’s at least a little juicy.

the place for nuance was in his original post

sadly, this is a common occurrence for elmu, saying something horrible with a clear intention to troll people who disagree with horrible things, claiming his intentionally ambiguous post was misinterpreted, etc.

Those who give him the benefit of the doubt after him having done this so frequently are likely just fans of his engaging in sophistry.
What fits best is Sam signing a contract for military use of OpenAI. With secrecy clauses, he couldn’t mention it. He likely could not tell the two foreigners on the exec team.

Eric Schmidt would likely know about it, and defend Sam. Sam would likely think the use is legitimate and not be ashamed of it (like he might with your suggestions).

Containers don't inherently reduce stability (quite the opposite in most cases). If I'm being generous to the author, they probably meant "unfounded apprehension", such as assuming out of ignorance that containers are somehow less stable.

Containers merely namespace/segment various OS resources.
Why “obviously absurd”? They had spotless reputations, until they didn’t. So did the FTX guy, for instance. Just because you don’t understand, doesn’t mean something is nonsensical
> I mean, was there rape in Super Mario Brothers? The antagonist is quite the princess-kidnapper.

I was surprised to see they only now re-released Super Mario RPG. There's a forced-marriage story arc in that one too, and Mario Odyssey also had an abort-the-wedding mission.

I'm in a weird position where you don't agree with me, but I actually agree with you. Yeah, wedding implies an unwanted consummation, but there's already kidnapping and unwanted bondage (marriage), which are themselves serious crimes and boundary violations. What may or may not happen next isn't really the point since we're already in not-ok territory.

I don't have a dog in this fight, I was mainly arguing against the Setzer-wouldn't-do-that line of thought. He's a wildcard who lives for himself, not a saint. Celes leveraged his own ego against him to challenge him to a game-- and cheat at it to guarantee her success. She didn't need no man to save her. Even then she ended up having to babysit him later.
Probably something related to security, cyber or national.
I don't know anything about either the military or accounting domains, but it's kind of a fun problem to think about solving.

Maybe taxes on (some) capitals/property is (quite) equivalent to expiration.
Money (value) accumulated that not contribute to development (probably) must be taxed, to enter it in the development cycle.
But made it expiring seems a waste of value, decreasing it's value with time maybe is better, to avoid it, must be invested in something productive..

The style originated in (or was at least popularized by) Japan. That's why it's called JRPG. To address your examples: Undertale is a JRPG, Dark Souls is not (it's a WRPG). It's a genre, not a country of origin stamp.
Maybe new evidence came to light, an internal investigation wrapped up, or there's a media story about to drop.

(The allegations are public enough and concerning enough that it would have been corporate malpractice if MS didn't ask for an investigation. Discreet due diligence investigations into things like this happen all the time when billions of dollars in investment capital are on the table.)
Unless you consider that most areas (urban and rural) in both Texas and Montana were founded before the car existed; that the ebike has higher speed, higher carrying capacity, and lower costs of ownership.

If you add that in with legacy residents complaining of population booms and losing "the old ways", or nostalgia for self reliance, then Montana fits in perfectly. (Ps I rode in the ~1 uber in Missoula in 2018, and the hotel I stayed in Bozeman in 2022 had free bikes - and many bike lanes, and a nice bike trail)
The first word there, "he" will fall upward.

Not OpenAI will fall upward. Sam Altman is not OpenAI, especially after this latest announcement.

To put it in the broader context (outside of what the start of this thread was) - i view it similar to painting.

Do some people get rich selling paintings, sure some do. Do most people? absolutely not. Is that a problem, i don't particularly think so.

People paint for a variety of reasons, some ecconomic, but most not. Similarly people contribute to open source for a variety of reasons, some ecconomic some not.

> It sounds like the only rational act under capitalism is to not work on open source software, since the work is not compensated.

Broadly stated, i agree with this. Unless you have some specific angle or business model, contributing to open source is a terrible way to get rich.

While it would be nice if my contributions made me a millionaire, i don't see it as a fundamental injustice that they don't. I knew that going in and did it anyways. If i wanted big bucks i would be optimizing my life to work at FAANG and that has its own set of trade offs.

That’s the most sensible suggestion. Sam’s Twitter one-emoji bio is uncharacteristically brief, and points at an ongoing conflict. Eric Schmidt would know about it, and defend Sam. The foreigners CxO would likely be kept in the dark.
It's not super-banned; I specifically unkilled it. It just isn't a very good HN comment, because it's inflammatory, speculative, and doesn't contain any information.

How can these services justify a large percentage of an asset with zero guarantees or clawbacks? You are seriously justifying all of that for a 6% of the most expensive asset anyone will ever buy? Why is it not a flat rate, i.e. $1-10k to sell a home?

The blog article at https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/its-about-time-microsec... has more information.
How? Per the blog post: "OpenAI’s board of directors consists of OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, independent directors Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, technology entrepreneur Tasha McCauley, and Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology’s Helen Toner." That's 4 directors after the steps taken today. Sam Altman and Greg Brockman both left the board as a result of the action. That means there were 6 directors previously. That means a majority of 4 directors. Assuming Sam & Greg voted against being pushed out, Ilya would have needed to vote with the other directors for the vote to succeed.

Edit: It occurs to me that possibly only the independent directors were permitted to vote on this. It's also possible Ilya recused himself, although the consequences of that would be obvious. Unfortunately I can't find the governing documents of OpenAI, Inc. anywhere to assess what is required.

Zero percent chance that Ilya (part of the board) would be blindsided by this.
The data doesn't have to. My claim is that a professional marketer can improve your price. You're then claiming from that not having them will reduce the price you get, which is a logical fallacy.

Also note the percentages I gave, it obviously depends on the price of the house.
I just want to say that what you wrote in the second paragraph resonated with me a lot and I think I needed to read that right now. It seems obvious but I spend so much time worrying about the past and future, and the way you put it just crystallizes that notion that we really don't have as much control as we'd like.

We have to forgive our past selves and let our future selves handle whatever they have to handle - obviously not in a self destructive way but more like if I get cancer I'll have to deal with that, until then there's no point worrying about it.

But now I'm just rambling. Anyway, thank you.
