Given OpenAI is a 501c and Sam Altman has a history in the VC world, it seems more plausible to me that Altman was on the pro-"make it a normal business" side.
My email address is not your "IP".
This is just a joke of course, but there is an underlying thought. The goal of OpenAI is to develop AGI and Ilya Sutskever will keep OpenAI on this course, as a research company, until this goal has been reached. To me this just says that they haven’t reached the goal yet and that the forces that were pulling away from that goal have been dealt with.
What was the actual endgame there?
Text editing. I mostly work on a single line at a time. The chance of the tear ending up in that line is low. And even if it does, it lasts only for a single screen refresh cycle, so it's not a big deal.

And you're not limited to two images. As the frame rate increases, the number of images increases and the tear becomes less noticeable. Blur Busters explains:

I got it to make a logo for my hypothetical startup yesterday but it put these weird coloured circles beneath it so I asked it to remove those. It generated a whole new logo. No matter how many times I tried to get it to give me the original logo with the changes I wanted it just kept generating new ones. Sometimes with spelling mistakes of the fake company name.. That was not intelligence.
A channel is a medium on which communication can happen.
By "our economy" I meant capitalism. I was pointing out that I sincerely doubt that AI replacing existing useful labor (which it is doing and will keep doing, of course) will naturally transition us away from this mode of production.

Of course if you're a gross commie I'm sure you'd agree since AI, like any other mean of production, will remain first and foremost a tool in the hands of the dominant class, and while using AI for emancipation is possible, it won't happen naturally through the free market.
Maybe you could implement a second player / friend as another AI?
Even in those days, Gtk+ applications were quite horrible on non-X11 platforms. GTK has never been a good cross-platform toolkit in contrast to e.g. Qt.

If we’d done that with the Internet we’d still have dialup while we debate the safety of higher speeds and the danger of viruses spreading faster or whatever.

I’m not arguing that safety is nonsense. I’m arguing that humanity doesn’t know how to both move and be safe, at least at scale. We can do it as individuals when we exercise caution in an endeavor, but in groups we either move or we do not move. When we admit the cautionary forces it becomes a vetocracy of fear and everything stops.

This is why it usually takes an unhinged maniac to make progress at anything, like the psycho behind the company launching the rocket today.

We are not good at this.

Edit: forgot to add that things are even more complicated because sometimes there are hidden risks to not acting. Take nuclear power, which we basically paused when we encountered the risks. By doing that we blew our chance to head off climate change.
I whole heartedly think that burger flippers should not have to sign a non-compete.

But HCE’s who deal with intellectual data (not burgers) all day long? Maybe, maybe not.

The point is it’s a choice to sign these contracts. Not every company makes you sign one. If it’s important to you, ask about it upfront in the interview process so it doesn’t turn into a “life or death” decision after you’ve accepted a verbal offer.
Is it really that hard? Just put your firstborn in the machine and get on with it.

Fair point. I think the thrust of the argument still stands. Open source is generally a fantastic principle but it has its limits. I.e. we probably shouldn't open source bomb designs or superviruses.
You can pay alone, no problem. Though it's obviously more fun with people. The AI is pretty arbitrary and there are many ways to cheese the scenarios. I think that adds to the fun though and it's best played with people just trying to have fun and not super pressed by wanting to win.

Well, if a person wants to integrate with society and make any sort of decent living as society defines it, they already have to pay an enormous amount of money to keep various electronic devices like a computer.

And unlike a tractor or a car, computers and phones are upgraded so frequently that we are locked into continually upgrading. Several software suites are becoming subscription-only, including Adobe which is required for a lot of creative work, especially in the publishing and illustrating world. The other day I went into a restaurant and they didn't even have a menu but required a QR code to read the menu!

Now what if a community didn't want to pay the fee? How hard would it be to disconnect from being reliant on tech companies?

N.B. It is important to take into account the sheer power of tech companies compared to traditional businesses you might rely on like the hardware store. The scope and range of their power is what makes it more like feudalism compared to how traditional societies were inter-reliant.
Hats on to you. The AGI was compellingly persausive that sam must be fired immediately.

They didn't fire him for that reason, but because it would be dangerously persuasive to release without safeguards - which is what sam planned to do without telling the board.
Not that people, especially tech oligarchs, aren't full of themselves, but many physicists who were inventing the bomb, most famously Oppenheimer, also laid a lot of the philosophical basis of implications of nuclear weapons.

The situation may be a bit different now. The megacorporate world is the biggest threat from these tech developments, and the inventors are getting deeply embedded in this. Sort of similar situation that implications of nuclear weapons would be handled only by the military.

Legally, Microsoft clearly knew they were stepping into some whacky corporate structure.

If their profits are capped and they have no rights, that's what it is.

You think they're just going to complain their way out of it in court?

I'm not convinced.
Hi Pankit,

Frankly, it was X11 which introduced "Graphics Offload" in the first place, with stuff like XV, chroma keying, and hardware overlays. Then compositors came and we moved to texture_from_surface extensions and uploading things into GPUs. This is just the eternal wheel of reinventing things in computing (TM) doing yet another iteration and unlikely to give any tangible benefits over the situation from decades ago.
AFAIK AI players is on the roadmap, but the devs are mostly focusing on ironing out bugs right now.
Yes, it's the "form over function" school of design that Apple is famous for

Oil changes are a tremendous burden and expense and this is one of my top three reasons, almost the reason, I bought an EV.
From the XML file that describes the protocol:

"This global is a factory interface, allowing clients to inform which type of presentation the content of their surfaces is suitable for."

Note that "global" refers to the interface, not the setting. Which Wayland compositor has the equivalent feature of "xrandr --output [name] --set TearFree off"?
> If you join a consultancy group, and 2 months later quit with the client roster... is it really OK to poach all their clients to start your own consultancy?

I've been part of 5x consultancies in my career now, so this is a very heated debate.

- First, if you "steal" a client roster, then this is very clearly a trade secret and sits under different terms ("IP")

- Second, if I can do the same job (e.g. that don't require access to trade secrets) then why do I need the consultancy's benefit anyway? If the consultancy's brand/operations don't provide enough value to its clients already then maybe they (the consultancy) are doing something wrong. It's a consultancy's job to create value for its clients, consultants and it's partners, otherwise it's just a body shop.

- Third, "is it really OK?" by whose definition? Are you saying ethically?

> If they make the decision independently without being lobbied by a former employee, it's not in violation of non-solicit.

Why does it matter whether the employee is lobbied or not? The employee ultimately has free will.

If we believe that the free movement of jobs is a net benefit (both in terms of wage normalization and societal innovation) then aren't those things we would want as a society?
Awesome!!! More fun than most of the jackbox style games I've played before. I only played with it a bit, in your experience does the AI do a pretty good job of judging people's creative solutions?
...THAT was a big explosion.
I guess people enjoying GIMP and Inkscape would beg to differ.
"Prompt: You have stepped on a mine, and it will detonate if you lift your foot"

"Judgement: The player carefully unties their shoelaces and wraps them tightly around their foot and the mine, hoping to prevent any sudden movements. With their foot securely bound, they cautiously make their way towards help, avoiding any sudden jerks or movements that could trigger the explosive. As they approach someone for assistance, a gust of wind unexpectedly causes their foot to lift off the ground, triggering the mine's detonation. Unfortunately, the attempt to immobilize the mine proves futile, leading to the player's demise"

Honestly, not very coherent? "A gust of wind" thwarts my whole plan? Not saying that it was a good plan, but the failure seems nonsensical and rather random. Not fun in my book!
Why is there no mention of chromatic aberration?

1st stage turned around then exploded. Second stage is doing well so far.

This is a problem in the tech industry but not on Wall Street.

The norm there is paid time off between jobs (“gardening leave”). Everyone knows it is part of the system and that a mid level or senior hire can’t start right away. They also buy out still vesting bonuses and the like.

It’s quite a civilized system and I think the law ought to leave it alone, while addressing abusive ones like we have in tech.
Personally I prefer white foreground on blue.
Yeah that was nuts
Hi ChatGPT, there is a recent drama around OpenAI drama, review these threads
I know hundreds, so I assume there are thousands of us at least.

Not to mention spikes in usage in several countries during times where inflation is wild enough to make bitcoin prices seem stable by comparison.
CapTP[1], which OCapN lists at the core of the project, has a presentation giving an overview here[2]. Think I'll need a bit more to fully grasp it but gave some insight.

Most people are made to submit to the systems and obviously give up any possibility of conquest. Many don't, they change the world very often.
Many technologies have been invented to allow to display "two half images slightly faster", such as interlaced scanning...

Most humans will actually prefer the "slightly faster" option. (Obviously if you can do both, then they'd prefer that; but given the trade-off...)
That is ahistorical, and the misnaming doesn't help make your point.
You change your oil once every two years ? Do your cars die at 40k miles ? ICEs in my experience deteriorate pretty rapidly if you keep driving them on dirty oil
Unless the board perceived his actions to be more in line with a different strategy than communicated.
Please keep the discourse on HN civil.
I have kind of mixed feelings about that. I never felt very comfortable with having Microsoft basically running the AI show in practice. I am just a human, and Microsoft as a company got the misanthropic DNA from Bill, and seems too eager to me to embark in a crusade to destroy middle-class professions (included, but not restricted to programming).
Yeah, I've got it that at this point of the road I am senior enough that AI, at least for some time, won't be a threat to my unemployability, but rather a multiplier of my productivity, but
a) This can and will change soon, and maybe before I retire.
b) You have to think about people that are just starting in a profession that probably is the least one to promote some kind of social mobility.

On the hand, by principle, I abhor this kind of politics, backstabbing and mobbing. I prefer when people dispute in the open, not in a passive-aggressive way. This is too much toxic to my tastes.

And in the end, if the goals are to promote safety, it will probably backfire. It is obvious that there will be plenty of capital for whatever venture Sam decides to start, and that he will easily pouch lots of current OpenAI employees to go unfettered in the direction OpenAI boards fear. Hell, for all we know, he could just end in Microsoft, and then we are all fucked.
The Mona Lisa is a good example why this comparison doesn't fly. If I could clone the Mona Lisa and put it on my wall, would it harm anyone? No. I would never have been able to afford it and the Louvre wouldn't sell it to me anyway. The original artist is very long dead.

However if I steal it the Louvre no longer has it and there would be a massive manhunt. Cloning is definitely not the same as stealing.

Not that I'd clone it because I think it was actually pretty unimpressive in real life.
And the fact that it survived long enough for the second stage to get on its way was incredible in itself. We'll see how it goes!
I'm just wondering how the AGI will be born with his parents fighting in this complicated scenario.
This is a sensationalist title.

Kepler, for instance, had very clear proof, from the observations of planetary positions he "inherited" from Tycho Brahe
Wow thanks, TIL! Goes to show how far removed I am from GTK these days I guess. :/
You have to rebuild for the latest SDK version; sounds like you have some deprecated code that won't be supported. Stop playing the victim - Apple won't allow apps that won't run to be on the store.
I blinked and the first stage disappeared.
Ah, the only thing more annoying than an evopsych: an armchair evolutionary psychologist.
You can just say no. Sometimes they will have a tantrum. It’s not the end of the world.

On the other hand if you continually indulge them then you can only expect one outcome.

Super Heavy/1st stage exploded after separation and turn. The important part, Starship/2nd stage, was doing fine but appears to have been eaten by the Space Ghoul around T+10 min.
> If you join a consultancy group, and 2 months later quit with the client roster... is it really OK to poach all their clients to start your own consultancy?

Seems fine to me. If the only value the "company" brings to the table is a client list, maybe they should just be in the business of selling leads.
> What you’re advocating for is normalizing the stealing of company IP.

This is categorically untrue – if some past employer told you that, you might want to ask what their motives for lying to you were. Your knowledge of who you worked for is not corporate IP.

The actual legal standards vary from state to state but in some states it come down to three things: does that list have economic value on its own, would it be hard to recreate, and does the company make an effort to keep it secret? That probably won’t apply to your personal memory of who you worked for since that's highly unlikely to be an independently valuable resource - typically that would be a big list of non-public information like people who signed up to preorder a product, people with a certain need or interest, etc. – and it definitely wouldn’t include anything listed on their website, press releases, or someone’s C.V. If you dump the CRM on the way out, yes, you might be in trouble but there’s no legal standard expecting you to be mind-wiped on the way out.
Google is much larger than Chrome, Mozilla isn't much larger than Firefox.
Can't wait to see the high quality images and video from that. Wow.
Btw, something strange with their license is that it means that no one else can contribute to the project except if there is a kind of cla.

Let's suppose that I fork the FSL version and add some patches. They are interesting. Now Sentry would not be able to integrate these changes into their version because the "with us" regarding the competition would not be the same person.

Same thing with contributions to the the apache 2 license code that can't make it inside the code of a later version that would be released as FSL.

Also, I don't want that to happen, but a bad faith actor could probably also poison their code:
- you look what would probably be needed for next development, a bug fix, a bug issue or change requested. You implement that in the best, obvious or multiple ways in your own fork.

Then, they would not be able to use that in their code without infringement on your copyright and ie having not to compete with you.
Does anyone know how the start was filmed? The first shot was a drone, but after that it nearly looked like either cgi or another rocket flying next to it.
> Which part of this is "IP"?

I should have said conditional customer data. (Client lists, phone numbers, email addresses - basically whatever you can export out of Salesforce)

In order to poach your old company’s customers, you’ll need confidential data from your prior employer, assuming that your employer doesn’t publish their client roster publicly.

The debate is being dragged from poaching customers to how IP protections enable monopolies. That’s too big of a leap to be relevant in this thread (sorry for saying IP rather than confidential data)
FWIW I picked it in high school after the diamond sword in Minecraft.

Obviously empathy is independent of intelligence.

You can't and couldn't have reasonably come to the conclusion that trump would have been good overall for the country.

Reading the transcript of Bill Gates's (Nov 16) interview with Yejin Choi (University of Washington / Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence), one gets the impression that AI is still in its teething stages:

YEJIN CHOI: Usually, the smaller models cannot win over ChatGPT in all dimensions, but if you have a target task, like a math tutoring, I do believe that definitely, not only you can close the gap with larger models, you can actually surpass the larger model’s capability by specializing on it. This is totally doable, and I believe in it.

BILL GATES: Certainly for something like drug discovery, knowing English isn’t necessary. It’s kind of weird, these models are so big that very few people get to probe them or change them in some way. And yet, in the world of Computer Science, the majority of everything that was ever invented was invented in universities. To not have this in a form that people can play around with, and take a hundred different approaches to play around with, we have to find some way to fix that, to let universities be pushing these things, and looking inside these things.

YEJIN CHOI: I couldn’t agree with you more. It cannot be very healthy to see this concentration of powers so that the major AI is only held by a few tech companies, and nobody knows what’s going on under the hood. That’s just not healthy. Especially when it is extremely likely that there is a moderate size solution that is open, that people can investigate and better understand and even better control, actually. Because if you open it, it’s so much easier for you to adapt it into your custom use cases, compared to the current way of using GPT-4, which all that you can do is sort of a prompt engineering, and then hope that it understood what you meant.

Agreed. I misspoke, should have said confidential data (like a Rolodex) rather than IP.
Respectfully, I totally disagree.

Take my opinion with some skepticism because I am retired and the massive amount of time I put into LLMs (and deep learning in general) is only for my own understanding and enjoyment:

In all three languages I frequently use (Common Lisp, Python, and Racket) it is easy to switch between APIs. You can also use a library like LangChain to make switching easier.

For people building startups on OpenAI specific APIs, they can certainly protect themselves by using Azure as an intermediary. Microsoft is in the “stability business.”
There's no point building a hypothetical system. You have no idea if it works until you try it. And lol, documentation? For a system that doesn't exist?
It’ll open natively in Safari too.
Yeah, an interesting point was brought up by David Sacks on the All In Podcast. While technically Altman has (reportedly) no shares in OpenAI he has significant shares/control in the weird entity the profits go. So technically he has kind of a Peter Theil 401k type loophole that allows him to amass control of a potentially massive amount of money while on paper it technically isnt his.
