I said it in the other thread, their current corporate structure will not survive much longer.

A non-profit parent entity with a wholly owned for-profit subsidiary (actually, the non-profit wholly owns and controls a third "manager" entity which in turn is the controlling but not majority shareholder of the for-profit subsidiary) where the profit of the for-profit entity is "capped" and oh by the way, that for-profit subsidiary has a 49% shareholder who happens to be Microsoft is a Rube Goldberg contraption.

The above is just scratching the surface of the absurdity that is the OpenAI corporate structure. Microsoft despite having 49% ownership of the for-profit subsidiary gets 75% of their profit..........until their initial investment is recouped. Employees get Profit Participation Units (PPUs) which are NOT equity but which entitle employees to a percentage of profits, again up to the "cap". I have a hunch that when they say Sam and the Board have no "equity" they mean that they have no traditional equity in the form of RSUs or options, but instead have a similar PPU arrangement. Then of course, when OpenAI achieves AGI, whatever the hell that is is, then everything from that point forward reverts back to the non-profit entity and Microsoft, other investors, and employees get hosed.

They planted the seeds of their own destruction by ousting the CEO and causing the Chairman to quit shortly thereafter. Lawyers for Microsoft and other investors will be knocking on the boards' door Monday morning and some of these board members who have never had a real job in their lives will get steamrolled.
You completely miss OP's point. He is basically saying that the market value of Sam is appreciated regardless of his equity. And one example on how that is true is that whatever company Sam starts next will have an insanely high valuation from the go.
Using hydraulic hybrid technology is a better bet for trucks. They recapture 70%-80%, which is a lot better than batteries, and they last a lot longer than batteries. The economics show a savings of $150k per truck over its lifetime (for UPS trucks). The trucks don't have the massive additional battery weight, so less particulates from tire wear and less road repair.

Garbage trucks can be retrofitted with hydraulic hybrid, for big savings.

Deep learning was an advance. I think the fundamental achievement is a way to use all that parallel processing power and data. Inconceivable amounts of data can give seemingly magical results. Yes, overfitting and generalizing are still problems.

I basically agree with you about the 20 year hype-cycle, and but when compute power reaches parity with human brain hardware (Kurzweil predicts by about 2029), one barrier is removed.
The simplest thing missing in iOS is multiple downtimes per day. My old router is able to do it, but Apple still hasn't done it. I don't want my kids on their phones during bed time and during a large part of the day (school!). But downtime lets you define just one period per day. I have to remember switching between them manually. I am sure I am doing something wrong.

Something else that makes it hard to restrict things is that as a parent, you have to know all the features every app has. I think up to a point this is actually a good thing, so let me give an example when I think it's unrealistic. For example I don't want my daughter watching videos all the time, so most apps are blocked much of the time. She loves to draw on her iPad and listen to music though - two things I encourage - so I put Procreate (drawing app) and Spotify in her Always Allowed list. She's very artistic and makes beautiful drawings. But apparently you can import videos into Procreate, and Spotify now has music videos for many songs, so these apps quickly became her go to video watching apps during downtime.

Ideally I think restrictions on platforms like these aren't app based, but "what do you do with them"-based. I'd like an option as a parent that lets me configure "no watching videos after 9pm".

Some bonus gripes:

- if I want to use parental controls for my kids' iOS devices, I need to have an Apple device as well. I can't, say, be on Android and Linux (I have a MacBook and an iPhone, so this doesn't apply to me personally).
- Why does everything have to be an app these days. I remember having a router that my ISP provided. When we first got it, it had a very convenient web interface for parental controls. But then they decided to deprecate that and make it into a mobile app. I have a tiny phone (first gen iPhone SE, which I love) but it's not ideal for admin tasks like these.
You've been focussing on the most irrelevant part of my comment.

Nothing to do with being Polish in particular. Only that there is a connecting element that might help explain why these 3 decided to resign together on the same day.
x87 is different from modern floating-point, including the modern floating-point operations on x86 CPUs (SSE and later instructions) and ARM64.

x87 calculates with 80-bit floats ("long double" in C), but the host CPU's FPU typically supports only 64-bit floats ("double").

So accurate x87 emulation can't translate all operations directly to host FPU operations. It must use software floating-point on the host instead, which is much slower.
Yeah, the assistants api is pretty great. Curious if you’ve faced issues with certain things not working out of the blue forcing you to re-run threads?

For example, i have an assistant which is supposed to parse an uploaded file and extract useful info from it. To use this assistant, I create a thread and a run and attach it to the assistant with a different file-id. About half the time, the assistant simply throws up its hands and says it can’t parse the file I supplied with the thread. Retrying a few times seems to do the trick.

I put 'win' between '' as I specifically didn't mean that type of win. That would obviously be a win. I mean 'win' in that we will replace people despite a worse outcome. If AI bots are better it's a real win, but they aren't yet and we don't know if they will be (there is hope of course).

> "When people are vaccinated, they're not going to get infected"

I googled these two then stopped, because you know what results I see? Conspiracy theorists quoting each other. I don't actually see a single reference to any source material to verify the original statements.

Couldn’t imagine something like this in Europe. Certainly we have our systematic problems towards homelessness but what’s going on in the states is intensionaly beating down.
What should happen next in the AI world is that humanity itself should revolt against AI -- the problem with it being that:

(A) It is an immensely powerful tool that cannot be controlled and will be used by tech companies to create a sort of neo-feudalism where all jobs, including creative ones, can be accomplished by AI. Anyone wishing to participate in this advanced technological economy will need to pay.

(B) It will remove the need for other human beings. Think of how many times you met someone and developed a connection with them because they could do something you could not. Now, those connections will be a thing of the past.

(C) It will be used by criminals to terrorize ordinary people with very advanced scams such as impersonation, identity theft, etc.

We should revolt against AI and destroy it. There is no controlling it.
Meaning of life is highly subjective. Just because your personal beliefs don't value coding highly doesn't mean that is universal.
Even if they could, why would Sam accept it? The smartest move for Sam is to just start his own for-profit company, easily raise a fuckton of money, hire all the talents from OpenAI and carry on with whatever he was doing. I think this is OpenAI's loss more than anything else. Now if the reason is truly a push against Sam's for-profit direction, I wonder if OpenAI will back it up by releasing their models to the public again. That would be world-changing, specially if the successor to GPT-4 is already trained.
So they are trying a boostback. Are they going to try to land it or?

NVM they said they were just going to let it splash.

Perhaps they believe "the other guy" will ultimately do more to advance everyone's true interests than "their" guy.
Irony abounds. Fired for lack of communication, yet the board did not communicate the firing to the person being fired but five minutes before the news was publicly released.

Then, the Chairman of the Board was demoted without being consulted!

Yes I can guess on who's side the 'lack of communcations' issue stems from.
If true, this sounds like a good thing, albeit poorly handled. AGI is a world changing technology, the likes of which we haven't seen since "the internet." Being safety first and deliberate about it with a lesser focus on profit seems like the right call.

It’s a fair point, and I suppose the question is the math around the equity potential of a new org built from scratch vs being issued a boatload of Microsoft equity, the future profit potential from that grant, while being able to walk right in to a fully operationalized env.
The low-latency core communicates with a more normal app via messages, over a socket or through shared memory or whatever. So you have normal UI code where a user can enter an instruction, then instead of writing to a database or making a HTTP request, it sends a message to the low latency process. That should respond to acknowledge it, and it will send more messages later if it makes any trades etc.
I’m sure there are some people who wouldn’t mind 6+ months on 80% (or so) of pay during which they are are free to do whatever else they want
Completely different situation. Jobs couldn't just fundraise for his new Oranges company, lure all the talent out of Apple and outcompete it at that point. Sam can do that to OpenAI in a blink if that's his plans.
I guess I don't know which lines to read between.

Is the board being cautious about irresponsible growth in AI and lack of ethical governance? Is caution the 'mission'?

Or is the board blowing off responsible, cautious management in pursuit of runaway profit?

Not following the issue nor the characters (not a personality-worshipping silicon-valley-celebrity-watcher) so I have honestly no idea what all the veiled messages are saying.
Which they can do in a super polite "wish him all the best" way or an "it was necessary to remove Sam's vision to save the world from unfriendly AI" way as they see fit. Unlike an accusation of lying, this isn't something that you can be sued for, and provided you're clear about what your boardroom battle-winning vision is it probably spooks stakeholders less than an insinuation that Sam might have been covering up something really bad with no further context.

Yes I know, those gas plants were built by Total and Engie as a part of their renewable strategy. The irony is insane here.

Before 2010 and the privatisation of the grid, France only had a single working gas plant on the whole grid and not even connected to the pipelines, it was a plant reusing factory gas. Those gas plants are brand new and there to support the new wind and solar installs.

Right now the world is watching Russia invading Ukraine. When there are mysterious explosions and/or fires in Russia, observers like me attribute that to Ukrainian resistance.

How many years or decades will it be before Russian settlers in Ukraine collectively "forget" the invasion and wonder why displaced Ukrainian "terrorists" are attacking those poor innocent Russians who like living in Ukraine but feel good about themselves because they decry war.
That doesn't make much sense because of course day to day operations are going to be different from subsequent exceptional circumstances, by definition.

Calling AI "feudalism" feels to me a bit like how Karl Marx dismissed capitalism[0] as being basically the same as feudalism but with different faces when writing the Communist Manifesto.

It might be a new and exciting kind of bad, but I doubt it will be anything that can reasonably be described as neo-feudalism.

You can buy things with bitcoin outside of the Internet, too; just because USA doesn't use bitcoin as a currency doesn't mean it isn't one. By your logic, most existing currencies aren't currencies either, in the sense that no one accepts them for anything other than regular currencies or cryptocurrencies, and that also happens only when you're in a currency exchange. There are rare exceptions to this, but that's exactly what they are - exceptions.

I disagree with this characterization, but even if it were true I believe it's still revolutionary.

A mentor that can competently get anyone hundreds of hours of individualized instruction in any new field is nearly priceless.

Do you remember what it feels like to try something completely new and challenging? Many people never even try because it's so daunting. Now you've got a coach that can talk you through it every step of the way, and is incredible at troubleshooting.
The former president of the US is a glorified parrot, sometimes not even good at that, and still he was able to become president, so I wouldn't hold a defense for it to just that.
Well, in a way it has, if you think about it this way. Using "take over" implies a fight for something. A revolutionary taking over the government from a dictator, etc.

However, AI doesn't need to conquer anything to "take over". Technology has already advanced so much that we are inextricably linked to it. Previous technology and especially computers have already taken over, and are integrated into every part of daily life. Some banks even require cellphones for two-factor authentication!

AI is the next logical step, and the world is already primed for AI.

So while AI has not "taken over" yet, we already have prepared a warm throne for it for it to chang every aspect of society.

They are using hardware, yes, but they are not creating (which is what I mean by "doing") the hardware. Anyone else with funding could have access to the same hardware for running their software, and other people did do that, and do do that (now, of course, in a drastically tighter supply/demand situation).

I do not wanna be flippant here: Obviously having easy access to money and a good standing with the right people is making things A LOT simpler, but other people could have reasonably convinced someone to give them money to built the same software. That's what VCs do, after all.

Regarding the rest: Feels very much like a different topic. I'll pass.
