Interesting take.

The counter argument is that the basic idea behind copyright is that the expression of personality through the way you formulate ideas is a part of “you“.

That somebody would start talking like you, or looking like you, and enrich himself by essentially cloning you just has historically, never been a problem serious enough to create legislation. Just as there was probably no copyright law before Gutenberg.

In an infinite scroll world, the End key should be king
"What I am proposing is simple - the End key should do what it says on the label, which is take you to the end of the web page. So for infinitely scrolling web pages, which have no end, they should just continue to load data until there is nothing left to load, or until you’ve exhausted every scrap of RAM and hard drive space your system can find."

There are a lot of cities in the Rust Belt and Midwest like I described, with the regional population around 1-2 million which are far away from being mega cities.

In the few examples I've personally visited, the residential density in the older "upscale" neighborhoods tends to come from duplexes and single family houses on small lots (or larger lots with a comparatively small amount of street frontage). There's some large buildings mixed in along with some very upscale condos and row houses.

Outside of extreme cases, infrastructure costs tend to become dominated by how long the road or pipes are, rather than the number of people using them.

I have seen something on Twitter in regards to a woman (apparently his sister) mentioning that he molested her. I have no idea if it is true or not, or if the Tweets are real, or if it is even his sister. These were apparently from years ago before he became as known as he is today.

I won't like though it's the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard the news.

This should be upvoted as the comment of the year.

The board seems so small and unqualified to be overseeing OpenAI and this technology..
Maybe the promise not to use uploaded documents for training (via the API) was a lie?
Its always possible to try and fail.

If he actually hid it, he wouldn't be in trouble.
I'm trying to find the episode, but on the All in Podcast ~6 months ago, they made comments about how the corporate structure of OpenAI may have been a secret way for Sam Altman to hold a large stake in the company. I don't think this is privacy related, but that there was a shell game with the equity and the non profit status. If they were training on data like that, the board/people at the company would have known.

EDIT:

episode is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4spNsmlxWVQ,

"somebody has to own the residual value of the company, sam controls the non profit, and so the non profit after all equity gets paid out at lower valuations, owns the whole company. Sam altman controls all of open ai if its a trillion dollar valuation. Which if true would be a huge scandal"

To the same effect. Perhaps a real study on this issue would be more elucidating?

> Banning gas/diesel cars gets there

You've effectively ended farming and rural life.

> is to heavily subsidize EVs

The only reason you have to subsidize them is because they are not adequate replacements for ICE cars. Perhaps if they just made EVs better, people would _want_ them, and they wouldn't be _forced_ into buying them.

> The only problem that self-driving cars will ever solve is where to put VC money in a zero interest rate world.

People value their own time. Perhaps you don't, but it should rightfully be part of this equation.

> I get that whole economies are built around producing/maintaining cars and related infra

Yea.. because they are a good utility and serve a real purpose. We didn't decide to build cars, the market demanded them.

It's always amazing to me that people will "say it over and over again" to no effect, yet walk past the fact that basic MPG fuel economy hasn't improved in 30 years.

That's a good point. The abruptness of the firing and calling him "not candid" aka lied in corporate speak. Means it's probably something with legal jeopardy.
Just read this interesting article[0] about Sam Altmann:

> "We need another breakthrough. We can still push on large language models quite a lot, and we will do that," Altman said, noting that the peak of what LLMs can do is still far away.

> But he said that "within reason," pushing hard with language models won't result in AGI.

> "If superintelligence can't discover novel physics, I don't think it's a superintelligence. And teaching it to clone the behavior of humans and human text - I don't think that's going to get there," he said. "And so there's this question which has been debated in the field for a long time: what do we have to do in addition to a language model to make a system that can go discover new physics?"

But now the board coincidentally fired him, as you can read in the current top post on the front page.

Most engine reworks like that (Doom, Age of Empires, Heroes III, etc) offer significantly improved performance and scaling for modern computers.

There are often other enhancements, too, including native support for Mac, Linux, etc.
It is interesting to see so many people believing that Sam is the altruistically motivated one, and the board is hungry for money. It's understandable, 'board of directors' is typically associated with faceless greed. But in this instance, it seems more likely that Sam would be ousted for selling integrity for profit, than for rejecting profit for integrity.

Of course, we don't really know yet.
> The statement by the board seriously damages his career.

You misunderstand how these corporate situations work. He will fall upward to a better job someplace else if he chooses.

Jumbo frames are used constantly in practice, just not often on the internet. They're common in all sorts of networks, especially enterprise and storage.

Are you replacing the whole tire after every flat? In my experience, that's almost never necessary.

One of my two bicycles is a secondhand Schwinn Loop, a cheap folding bike with 20" tires and an extremely rearward weight distribution. After riding ~1,600 miles on it, I just recently replaced the rear tire because it wore thin. I had gotten 5 or 6 flats on that tire. I was able to keep using it, and tube, by removing the nail/staple/glass and patching the tube. I still have the same tube under the new tire. The patches seem to be permanent fixes.

(My other bike is a 700c hybrid bike from Bikes Direct, which I've put around 3,500 or 4,000 miles on. I've only gotten two flats, patched them both, and still haven't worn out the original tires.)

I don't know why you're mixing political and economic systems. The two are often related, but not intricately linked. Capitalism and democracy are orthogonal, and there have been plenty of capitalist but undemocratic (e.g. fascist) regimes out there, like there have been democratic countries with social democratic (aka not unfettered capitalism) economic systems.

The problem is not that it's confusing but that, because the rules exist and set our expectations, we mentally trip over violations of them. We stop absorbing what was intended to be communicated and have to back up and try again. I don't disagree that changing the rules would solve this, but we haven't done that. So in individual instances of written communication which each of us does have the power to affect, it's on the writer to ensure the reader has no unnecessary trouble. I could wear boots inside your house, but I'd rather you clean up the Lego.
Why would they want to do that? That doesn't benefit anyone.
Whatever it is, it's serious enough to forego resignation and there's enough evidence for it to be self-evident. When the headlines talk about AI taking white-collar jobs, I wasn't expecting this.
Some combination of both would be best in my opinion. Weight due to wear on roads and size due to the safety implications (some personal vehicles are now almost 2m tall and impossible to see over for pedestrians and cyclists - creating a much more dangerous environment).
> just build new cities less around cars and let people choose that life if they want.

New cities aren't a good solution, they almost never work out. That's effectively ceding everything that's already been built to the automobile and telling people "if you don't like it, uproot your life and go somewhere else."

I would rather see the places that were originally built without cars in mind return to prioritizing walking, cycling, and transit. Let the exurbs be the exurbs, sure, but let's have our old cities and inner ring suburbs not cater to cars so much. They weren't built for cars in the first place.
I love the assumption here that everyone all of a sudden cares about acceleration.
It's certainly possible. Company financials can get very complicated very quickly, and it's possible that Altman was the only person (or one of a small number of people) who had the complete picture.

To be clear, this is only one possible explanation for Altman's firing. And for my money, I don't even think it's the most likely explanation. But right now, those who rely on OpenAI products should prepare for the worst, and this is one of the most existentially threatening possibilities.
They are completely premised on AGI, especially financially, down to their 100x capped for-profit structure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI#2019:_Transition_from_n...

That you did not know that does not give me confidence in the rest of your argument. Please do your research. There's a LOT of hype to see beyond.
And the complete lack of infrastructure to actually cycle? I moved to a city with lots of great biking infrastructure, I would shudder to even think of biking in the average Carville, USA.

Because centralisation provides ecosystem agility, which they absolutely value as an upside. Find a way of doing post-quantum secure key exchange? Just roll it out to the server and all the clients essentially overnight.

The statement he mad about AGI needing another breakthrough was not a scripted statement, so I don't think he was directed to make it. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjpNG0CJRMM&t=3705s

Altman has been at OpenAI since the beginning, and since the beginning OpenAI is heavily premised on AGI/superintelligence.
Can't say I saw this coming. This is deeply sad to me. OpenAI did so much life changing work so quickly. It has totally changed my life in terms of enabling an absolutely unprecedented increase in my own personal productivity and how ambitious I can be with my projects. And even though I know Sam didn't personally code the key things, I believe that it never would have happened the way it did without his instincts and talents. And I fear that without him at the helm, all the magic is going to quickly dissipate and OpenAI will be just another lumbering tech company without a rudder. The default state of things is stasis and dysfunction. Just look at how Google can't do anything anymore, and how bad Siri and Alexa are-- all despite having so much manpower, money, and market share at their disposal.

I also find it maddening how boards of directors rush to insulate themselves from any possible issue and are so quick to throw overboard the very people who enabled the success that they get to participate in. I'm thinking particularly of Travis at Uber and how he was thrown out of the thing that he built from scratch, which never would have worked without his extreme efforts. If I were on the OpenAI board, the bar for firing Sam would be so ridiculously high that he would have to have done something so outrageous, so illegal, etc., that I struggle to believe what he actually did could even remotely approach that standard.
This seems to be unexpected move, I am wondering if the board members wanted to make GPT 3.5 not accessible to public for free.
"Solar Loans" are pretty much always a bad idea. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are even worse.

If you can't buy the system outright consider getting a Home Equity loan. This is exactly the sort of thing they are designed for and have much less overhead than any other option.

In the US we suffer from high demand in a small market allowing installers to inflate the system prices considerably. We should be paying less than $2/watt installed, but you see quotes for like $4-$8/watt all the time because these companies get to pick their customers.

The war has just started.
Lots of companies are funded every year. Those without solid leadership and clear mission are bound to fail.

Founding a company is also fairly easy (if you're in the US). In most US states, you just need to complete some paperwork, pay administrative fees, and you're good to go.

Founding something isn't tough. Leading through adversity and setbacks is.

Finally, if we're praising workers, what about those who came and went between 2015 and today? That probably pushes the number higher than 400 FTEs.

It sounds like this was the issue. Even Elon Musk, for all his flaws, strongly disagreed with the direction of 'open'AI.

Ilya siding with the board and the board having no financial interests leads me to think that Sam was hiding things/making decisions that kept leading the org away from its initial mission.

We'll probably learn in the future what really happened.
Oh, that could go off the rails quickly. You have to do it!
Why did you take an entirely remote job if you prefer to work in an office?
Not the deepest topic, but:

Can someone explain to me why there seems to be such a high correlation between being high on the totem pole and lazy bits of written word? In this case, Sam can't be assed to bother with capital letters. For other people, it's abbreviations or some other unnecessary bit of laziness. I don't get it. In my experience the higher up you are in management the more you do this sort of thing.
You gotta find a way to make it clear you dont consent to be sharing your stuff with anyone but you , case closed. It has all the same toys and whistles so theres just no excuse.

Its a boundary and we all need to get real better at understanding and being respectful thereto.

Only issue is if you want them more than they you, there's a bit of a dance to navigate . If the like Musk, send them to all his endorsementz. At the end of the day, it will have to be a negotiation at play and its more of a toughlove ultimatun purely for the area of which messenging platforms to engage with.
Eric Schmidt calling Sam a hero also makes me think it isn't a personal scandal.

Doesn’t make any sense. He is ideologically driven - why would he risk a once in a lifetime opportunity for a mere sale?

Desperate times calls for desperate measures. This is a swift way for OpenAI to shield the business from something which is a PR disaster, probably something which would make Sam persona non grata in any business context.
