> Ignoring risks

This is not even on topic. You seem to think it is literally about the risk of a magical incantation of AGI that someone was going to accidentally utter. Instead it is about working the conversation for support.

> Sam doesn’t value technical leadership

He doesn’t prioritize technical decisions over all, which is want you want from an organizational leader. He has hired and enabled some of the best technical competency in a generation to do things no one thought were possible.

> The board didn’t believe he was being cooperative

“Being cooperative” as defined here is so naive as to be comical on its own. Internal politics are a constant presence. His job is not to be maximally cooperative without regard for strategy.

The only thing that is clear to me is that non profit structures as presently conceived are totally inadequate for the use OpenAI has put them to and in particular are not up to withstanding growth pressures.
Might as well throw caffeine (coffee in particular) into that barrel as well if we are talking about addictive substance many of us casually use daily.
Well, you can correct it but the 'for profit' arm does have shareholders and those are quite possibly now well positioned to take the board to task for straying outside their mandate by not exercising their duty of care. They will have to have a very good defense from such a challenge.
The website exists since 2013, and it seems like they managed just fine.

> Besides, elsewhere it’s discussed how NDAs can act as de facto NCAs due to the inevitable disclose doctrine.

And that is much better case than NCA since it would only apply in specific narrow cases and wouldn't prevent a McDonalds employee from working in fast food industry for a year, for example.
So what happens when shops connection to this blockchain or whatever goes down? Or maybe by accident or by plan? Do they trust that customers won't notice and go do double spend? Will they risk it? Does it actually solve anything from perspective of the shop?

Or just pick places which are an utter pain in the arse to get to - days of surface travel by 4x4, foot, boat, ski, or canoe. Makes for far more interesting stories, too. I ended up living in one of said “I’ve heard of it but I’ve never been” places. It’s lovely. Pain in the ass to get anywhere, but if I don’t want to see people, I don’t, and those that I do see I usually chat with over a pitchfork, and walk away with a gifted sack of produce.
I agree with that. Government officials and politicians should have effectively no conflicts of interest because they have no real way to seek valid approval from the electorate for them.

For companies, if you have investors, employees, and (implicitly, because they continue to do business with you) customers all supportive of someone remaining in their position in spite of real or potential conflicts of interest then I think it's reasonable to say those are acceptable — and certainly not unethical — conflicts of interest.

The board deserves and has the right to a say, of course, but the extent to which it can justify a position that goes against those other groups is at best debatable even if they are not wholly comfortable with said conflicts. After all, the board should serve the company (customers, employees, shareholders/investors) and not itself. This [1] timeline of OpenAI board changes also seems to suggest some level of opportunism, and the possibility that at other times, or had departing members been replaced, it may not have been possible to get board consensus for firing Sam, either.

Those conflicts disappear when you look at the OpenAI nonprofit through its aspiration to steward safe AGI no matter where it arises. It’s meant to transcend specific interests and look more like a technocratic standards body, like an IEEE precursor for AI, than a corporation seeking a private edge. It should have representation of diverse interests.

And that’s exactly why its ownership of an apparent VC rocketship in its profit-making entity was becoming so problematic. Suddenly, it’s critically important transcendence and independence was being threatened by its subsidiary’s outsized and rapid success.

It’s really important to keep in mind that the OpenAI board represents fundamentally different interests than those of the subsidiary developing and selling ChatGPT products. That they may have murdered the latter is not necessarily an accident or mistake.

> How is it opposed to OpenAI's goals to have a friendly company selling them chips instead of NVIDIA, which is, at-best, a neutral company?

Because OpenAI's mission statement is along the lines of providing AI to all. "All" is more than data centers and billion dollar valuation companies.

I strongly doubt I would be able to purchase one of said chips and have it in my house.

This GPU fiasco is all thanks to LLMs - especially transformers, which was OpenAIs trajectory under Altman. I wouldn't be surprised if the breakdown in communication was over OpenAI becoming a LLM printer. Transformers are a solved problem, making a bigger one is hardly research and definitely not a step towards OpenAIs mission statement.
Yes, details like that really matter, and if the party you let go can pull half the company out from under you then you may have won the battle but you've just lost the war. On top of that you'll be in lawsuits until the third generation or so given who else sits at that table (Sequoia, YC and Microsoft to name a few).

Who gets to decide what constitutes a “bad actor”? Sounds an awful lot like “dangerous misinformation”. And based on the last three years “dangerous misinformation” quite often means “information that goes against my narrative”

It’s a slippery slope letting private or even public entities define “bad actors” or “misinformation”. And it isn’t even a hypothetical… plenty of factually true information about covid got you labeled as a “bad actor” peddling “dangerous misinformation”.

Letting private entities whose platforms have huge influence on society decide what is “misinformation” coming from “bad actors” has proven to be a very scary proposition.

I moved - sorry, immigrated - to Stockholm end of 2016.

At that time the sensationalist media was reporting on 'no-go zones' - parts of town that even the police were too afraid to go to.

One night I was sitting on the subway when a guy came and sat down opposite a girl, and started telling her he was gonna go check out one of these 'no-go zones'. His destination was östermalm.
If you judge it by playtime it's probably true. Story-driven games like TLOU sell well sometimes but the games that gamers spend the most time with are those with attractive gameplay loops; the story just becomes window dressing. Personally I put down TLOU after two or three hours; the story didn't excite me (generic zombie slop, sorry) and the sneak/combat gameplay was too bland to keep me interested. On the other hand, MGS5's story is a half-baked abortion but the gameplay kept me coming back for several hundred hours.
The LHC tube is 27km long but ~6cm in diameter. It is true that they are pumping down a more impressive vacuum volume though, but not in the tube, but around each of the many, many superconducting magnets. That's about 9000m³ (compared to the ~150m³ of the actual tube).

Still, the LHC is hardly maintaining that vacuum continuously all year round. And it is one of the most sophisticated engineering and scientific projects attempted in history. Hardly a good idea for a train project.

> But there are too many datetimes recorded in the real world without enough information to recover the timezone and thus the precise UTC time

Software sux

Changing the Python libraries to try to fix buggy software strikes me, on the face of it, as a bad idea.

I am sensitive to this having recently worked with ode that stored time as a string, wall clock local, with no timezone.

And made time series data from it

Software sux, because programmers do silly things

Stop it!
Let's try it differently though.

Suppose you want to know how common ads next to problematic tweets is, or some question like that. You can either start by picking an ad and then survey the tweets it accompanies, or you can look for problematic tweets and then look at what ads run next to it.

Elon is implying that the former is the right way. But I'll bet Media Matters did the latter. IMO if Twitter is at all well-designed, the latter is much, much easier, since finding tweets is a core task for the UI.
In a way it is interesting that people would wade into this discussion without even the most basic facts.

A typeface designed for programming should have _very_ visually distinct bracket and parentheses {([])} characters. Intel’s new typeface and the GitHub family that was just released both do this very well. I’d advise the Victor Mono author to take a look at how those fonts do it.

Specifically, he maintains that Media Matters has significantly misrepresented advertised risk on X and it has materially harmed X's business. If some of the claims made by the X side are true, Media Matters has been disingenuous to the point of scummery. Of course, IANAL, so no idea how all of that shakes out in a legal context.

The for-profit shareholders can only sway the board through the employees who count as stakeholders in the nonprofit, hence the PR campaign. The board's mandate remains upholding the nonprofit's charter—no fiduciary duty to investors to speak of.
I said this in another thread, coming between MS, their money, and a chance to kneecap Google on what looks like to be the HotNewThing(tm) is not a good place to be in.

Yeah okay. People who, for some reason, simp for Sam Altman are expecting Microsoft to be their knight in shining armor who punishes the bad board for doing the right thing.

Microsoft isn’t going to do shit but throw a little hissy fit over their obvious power play (which they staked the future of their company and resurgence of their brand on) going south. They have no legal recourse and OpenAI has brand recognition and market enthusiasm to weather any shit storm MS tried to throw at them.

So no, if anything this is gonna bring attention to the Microsoft CEO from his own board wondering why exactly he put them in a position to look bad and lose shareholder value without actual ownership of this company.

> what matters is promotion of the idea & usage of free software

It's not a mere technicality, it's an important point of principle.

The FSF used to use the term semifree for such licences, but now just call them proprietary or nonfree. [0]

Similarly the OSI page you linked shows that the OSI considers non-commercial restrictions to breach criterion 6, No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor.

> you'd agree that everything-as-a-service and tivoized products do not make users free, even if they technically don't violate the terms of FOSS-licensed code

Tivoization was addressed in GPLv3. The SASS point is less clear-cut as it's not obvious how to define the relevant boundaries, but roughly speaking the AGPL addresses this.

Not all problems can be addressed by software licences though.

> a group of independent contributors realizing "hey, we've made something big, let's protect our work (and potentially get rewarded for our efforts)" and creating a more formal entity around it

The point remains that if they adopt a licence that prohibits commercial use, the project is no longer Free and Open Source software. There's certainly a place for formal organisations though, and there are many of them in the FOSS world: FSF and GNU, OSI, SFLC, Linux Foundation, Apache, Mozilla, Eclipse Foundation.

There's also TideLift which seems to be doing well raising funds for FOSS contributors while also improving software quality. [1]

> It’s not about scamming tourists at its core, it’s about avoiding electronic banking networks and pulling cash back into the system.

You make it sound like a good thing.
Some cities range across counties. Some cities have taxes that the county itself doesn't, so literally crossing the street into the unincorporated part of town can save you on sales tax. Sometimes sales tax is suspended based on who you are. Sometimes sales tax is suspended on what time of year it is.

Sales tax is complicated. I get why companies would rather outsource that to the register to look up at the end.

I think that might have to do with your body clock and schedule. As you said, those are your "regular" sleeping times. If you start to consistently go to bed at 10pm and make that "regular", you'll get the same quality of sleep as with your current schedule.
But, ultimately, if 1am to 9am works for you and there are no major negative effects to your life, I wouldn't think there is anything wrong with continuing to keep that schedule.

Pretty interesting to see the visceral and divided reactions in this comment thread. Some people are like, “that’s crazy” and others think, “I wish I had the time for that.”

I feel this is precisely the divide that would be worth bridging in the US. Spend some time knowing and loving nature, and you’ll realize that there are many people who would take these opportunities, and they’re not crazy, they just have a different perspective.

I wonder what other opinions people have that we think are “nuts” but are really just a different perspective?

Also here not in USA we are trained not to "waste" food. That is to eat everything. In some context it make sense to not take more than you are going to eat, but at the same time not eating everything on plate is pretty simple solution.

Determining what the right thing is the hard part. Unfortunately that’s also the case right now at OpenAI.
Yeah, happens quite a bit. Also just being able to dig and figure out why something is doing a weird thing happens all the time. I’d say about once a month in my team of three people, and we’re not even doing fancy stuff.

Most recent examples I can remember: polars data conversion errors, batch sizing in azure service bus sdk, some weird validation thing in pydantic and the performance monitoring in sentry not working as expected. The pydantic bug got a patch / note in the docs that was actually already merged.
14.6 firearm deaths per 100,000 (146 per million) , about 54% suicide, 43% murders (the rest accidental and law enforcement). Comes out to about 62 deaths per million, rate here is about 5.5 so 62 / 5.5 = 11.27X
