Only one of the dissenting board members was an employee/founder. The other board members are external. People do not seek out problems like this. Do you think the board members want all this attention on them?

It's kind of crazy to me that everyone gives CEOs infinite credibility and benefit of the doubt when they make a decision, but then these board members, who don't have cult of personality surrounding them, make a decision within a decision space that is almost their sole job, people flip out and call it emotional, a coup, a power grab, etc. It doesn't make sense.

To me, with the currently available information, it seems quite simple. Altman was constantly at odds with the charter of the non-profit OpenAI and continually was pushing against that charter and performing machinations for his own status and financial benefit that were not in line with the goals of the non-profit OpenAI. It seems quite clear that only one of those things could last. Either the non-profit OpenAI stays so and Altman leaves to go do whatever it is he really wants to do, or OpenAI ceases to be a non-profit and Altman gets to stay. Given it's seemingly the board's prerogative to maintain the non-profit OpenAI, it seems almost trivial as to how this situation has arisen.

It's almost refreshing someone actually called the bluff of a Silicon Valley prophet. But it's not all that surprising everyone in Silicon Valley and their sycophants are doing all they can to try and undermine the credibility of that decision.

Nuclear weapons have absolutely not been democratised, and still stand as a technology that has largely been restricted and not proliferated. Only 9 countries in the 190 or so out there currently nuclear weapons, and 3 countries (South Africa, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan) decided that maintaining stockpiles was more trouble than it was worth.

Huge effort has been made to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of non-state actors over the decades, especially after the fall of the USSR.

What financial problems? They were bought out by another company and tanked. This is the exact reasons why you don't want to tie yourself to proprietary solutions.

Sure, the concept of buildpacks were copied to other platforms (I personally worked on building one of those platforms, Cloud Foundry), but they were a proprietary solution that others adopted for ease of transition off of Heroku, not because it was some great solution to IaC.
Does it actually work? My experience in Europe (well a few places at least) is that most blue collar workers don't eat lunch in a restaurant, it's way too expansive (and time consuming). They either pack it from home, go to the local grocery/convenience store or maybe hit a fast food place/cheap take away.

It might work better in cultures with a more developed eat-out culture like in Asia.
“Destroyed” forest are perfect Warbler habitat—at least for the Kirtland’s Warbler which requires dense areas of young jack pine. That means either fires or logging are essential to their survival. So if you mean don’t pave over forests, then yes. But logging done properly is essential for a lot of species.
I don’t believe so. Just get rid of Mira, Hellen and Tasha and they’re back to being golden.
I think you're reading into it too much.

It's not a comparison of personal talent.

It's simply the best known case of a highly visible CEO of a popular, groundbreaking company being ousted by the board.

So the comparison is natural. Apple and OpenAI are definitely similarly groundbreaking companies in the eye of the consumer.
You’re very welcome, it’s a joy to hear that it works for others as well :)

Name Your Industry–or Else: The dehumanizing way economics data describes us
The whole point is to hide the price so you can't compare so they can neuter competition.

Companies can charge whatever they like, but you have to be told. If it's a mandatory fee it has to be disclosed upfront. Money will be saved when competitive pressures save money for consumers.

I don't agree with regulating late fees, especially since there are cards without late fees at all. I did agree with banning over limit fees since there was no way to instruct your bank to decline transactions that would take you over the limit.
OpenAI has the most valuable new technology product in a generation and it’s already monetized. It’s also a charity and could give a fuck about growth beyond the extent needed to meet their goals.

The idea that Microsoft is somehow the one irreplaceable part of this formula is completely fucking bizzare.
This article puts the onus on publishers / the scientific publication process to catch and prevent fraud.

This is like asking merchants to catch and stop fraud and crime (e.g. selling alcohol to kids); it's in their best interest to not catch fraud and maximize their income.

The reason they do clamp down on underage drinking is because they'll get fined/arrested / their license will be revoked. The system cares enough to catch and punish the behavior.

If the funding bodies like NIH don't catch, punish and stop this behavior, it creates a system where fraudsters win more. This makes more groups, even if reluctant, participate in fraud because that's the only way to compete. It's a race to the bottom.

Money drives incentives, and clawing it back while blacklisting and publicly humiliating a lab, will change behavior. That would make the lab a toxic collaborator, especially if collaborators ALSO get blacklisted from funding.
What did he actually do though?
You didn't implement the fundamental operator of functional programming. Composition of functions. That is the key operation of functional programming.

Reduce map are all available in python as well. Basically your implementation is doable in python as well with the same level of tenseness. The main difference as I said earlier is typescript lacks exhaustive pattern matching and sum types.
Greenland has a single timezone for a 4-hour span. China has a single timezone for a 5-hour span. Having a single timezone for the contiguous US would definitely not be unheard of.

Guam is a bit of an odd duck because it is on the other side of the date line. The US currently spans from UTC-4 in Puerto Rico to UTC+10 in Guam - which is essentially the same as UTC-14. That's a 10-hour span, not a 20-hour one. Still, excluding the minor overseas colonial possessions would probably make the most sense.
I don't think he's on his own. All those people he helped in the past have come out to support him via heart emojis. Almost his entire company (minus the board) has publicly supported him. His team is currently hosting him at the office with hopes to reinstate him. The CEO who temporarily replaced him has publicly and privately supported his return. OpenAI's investors are backing him. His cofounder quit in solidarity.

Turns out the secret to getting through something like this is to simply have spent the past 15+ years genuinely helping everyone you've ever come across.
"Bret Taylor, the former co-CEO of Salesforce Inc., will be on the new board, several people said. Another possible addition is an executive from Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest shareholder — but Microsoft hasn’t decided whether it wants board representation, some people said."

hah, Microsoft will be in control from here on out whether they have someone technically on the board or not. They did the embrace and extend now we're on to extinguish.
Blowback was inevitable but the magnitude was not. The board absolutely bungled this, full stop. Maybe Altman had to go, maybe he didn't – I don't claim to understand the backstory – but the way the board handled and is handling this was extremely clumsy at best.

I caught onto to this scam at an airport ATM in Poland 6-7 years ago. The hard sell definitely flagged it to me - it said something about how the ATM could guarantee their conversion rate but if I had my bank handle the exchange the ATM had no idea what I would get, could be much much worse. I googled the nominal exchange rate and decided I would take my chances with the bank, which was the correct decision.

What I thought was crazy is that back then, and now, with a few minutes' looking I couldn't find the rate the bank would give me.
Sutskever has been clashing with Altman and it looks like he orchestrated his firing. Getting him back would almost certainly mean losing the other or even the whole board. Investors have decided which they would prefer to hang on to.

The same applies for regular ads on websites. If the ad is delivery alongside the content, it can’t be blocked. But the industry doesn’t want this. They want cheap delivery of extremely targeted and tracked pushing of micro optimised advertising. That’s a reason to ad block alone. If a digital newspaper had the same ad for everyone on their website, with no tracking, I would be ok not to ad block it. That isn’t the creepy ad business I am inclined to block.

> Do bills stop existing because one chooses to volunteer?

Bills don't stop existing because I choose to eat a watch a sunset, either, but I don't ask if watching a sunset is going to pay my bills. People obviously need a way to pay their bills, and lots of activities they might engage in aren't part of that. If you aren't in a position where you can do an activity because of what you need to do to pay your bills, than that activity clearly isn't for you, but unless you were personally and specifically solicited for that activity by someone who should have been aware of your personal circumstances, I don't see how that warrants anything besides "well, that's not for me".

Your circumstances aren't universal.

> The rawness of the deal only becomes apparent when we start to inspect why material conditions are such that this deal — trading an hour of labor for $2 to a company serving a multi-billion-dollar market — is enticing to children.

No, it's enticing to EVERYONE. FTA:

"A friend put him on to the site, which promised work anytime, from anywhere. He found that an hour’s labor would earn him around $1 to $2, he says, more than the national minimum wage, which was about $0.26 at the time."

Also,

"At 17, most of Younis Hamdeen’s friends were waiting tables. But the Pakistani teen opted to join UHRS via Appen instead, using the platform for three or four hours a day, alongside high school, earning up to $100 a month."

And many adults are working there:

"The sharing of a single account within family units is another way minors access the work, says Posada. He found that in some Venezuelan homes, when parents cook or run errands, children log on to complete tasks."

I'm shocked, shocked that people want to earn good money from the comfort of their home!

> In other words, this article, in my analysis, is an opportunity to study and question the system that creates the conditions such that there is a labor market comprising children who are available for exploitation for cheap labor by very rich Western companies.

First, you tried to backtrack your use of "exploitation" here, which is clearly negative.

Second, these companies are HELPING the folks in these poor countries, paying them above the minimum wage (sometimes above the prevailing wage) for work which is less taxing and/or dangerous than the alternative.

Finally, these companies didn't create the system, but they've found WILLING workers (mostly adults) and are engaged in mutually beneficial exchange.

This is why you should be able to choose which side and position any tab is positioned along any window at any time, and change them at any time by dragging them to where you want.

Then you can assign meanings to each side, depending on your workflow, for example (this should be under user control, not set in stone, of course):

Tabs on the top for important stuff.

Tabs on the bottom for administrative stuff.

Tabs on left for things you haven't read yet.

Tabs on right for things you've already read.

Then drag the tab from the left to the right after you read something (like moving it from your "in box" to your "out box"), or pin its tab on the top or bottom of it's important and you want to keep it around and easy to find.

And if you really want, you should be able to hide the tab to save space.

And not only tabs for apps like browser and IDEs, but also the desktop window manager should support tabs on top level windows in a consistent manner, so you can drag tabbed windows in and out of other window frames, as well as arranging them in hierarchical outlines along the edges.

All this is super obvious, and saves a lot of time and effort, so it bewilders me why tabs like I described and implemented in the 1980's aren't universally supported on all desktops and applications by now.

It's not because they're patented. Adobe tried, and sued Macromedia over it, but that patent (illegitimate in my view, since it ignored the prior art, and was extremely obvious and not patentable) has long since expired.

That's exceptional. Usually a minimum number of hours is specified, what your compensation is, any overtime arrangements and so on. That's also where the 'butts in seats' post COVID backlash comes from: it may not be specified but there are clear expectations.

The exclusivity clause is fairly common but may not be enforceable depending on where you live, especially if it is for a part-time job (but in IT most jobs are full-time).
Factor that in when choosing a product, and support competition so you can jump ship if push comes to shove. And enjoy the subsidy while you can.
Ilya is certainly the brains behind ChatGPT, but I believe a lot of engineering talent recently joined OpenAI because they aligned with Sam and Greg’s vision of making consumer software and commercializing it.

So while you’re right that Sama isn’t crucial to OpenAI, I think a lot more employees are aligned with Sama’s vision.
Merriam-Webster lists transition as both noun and verb from at east 1946.

The verbs transit and transition mean different things. The former is the physical movement, the latter is a change of state.

I really don’t see the issue if OpenAI makes rational buying decisions for its hardware. As long as they aren’t paying a premium in terms of model generations per dollar or per mwh versus Nvidia’s GPUs, it seems obviously a net good thing for OpenAI given how much of a gating factor hardware availability has gotten to be.

Also, they know all their own special tricks that could be implemented directly in hardware to dramatically reduce energy consumption or performance per dollar, and might not want to tell Nvidia all that stuff. Sam is already so rich, and he really doesn’t strike me as being primarily motivated by personal financial gain at this point. I just can’t see this all being some ploy to extract money from OpenAI by forcing them to buy his own company’s hardware at unfavorable prices.

Most of my life does not involve coordinating across timezones.

You're suggesting that twice every year, we change the times that retailers, offices, government agencies, broadway theaters, restaurants, roads, schools, and so on open and close. Schools alter class schedules and trains modify departure times. Also, we all reset our alarms, because we'll need to wake up at different times anyway.

It makes so much more sense to just change the clocks!

And yes, all of these things would need to change, because they all revolve around the typical work schedule! Parents bring children to school before heading to work. Public transit runs more frequently during rush hour.

There is a discussion to be had about whether we should be shifting our schedules in the first place. But as long as we're shifting schedules, it makes so much more sense to just change the damn clocks!

P.S. Most people don't have white collar jobs! Construction workers, janitors, mechanics and so on don't ever work across timezones.

P.P.S. I'm okay with nixing the time change as long as we don't end up on permanent daylights savings! However, permanent daylights savings is my nightmare.
Ilya is a "him". And yes, there's probably no path to Ilya and Sam both remaining at the company... but both are brilliant adults with (relatively) low egos, so there's hope they can settle this and work together. Their disagreements on the future of AI are a feature, not a bug.
They’re afraid he’s an actual leader and all of their talent will follow him. It doesn’t matter how good Ilya is individually, nobody is building gpt-5+ as an individual contributor.
I’d love to work at that company. I feel like this is highly dependent on company culture because so far it feels like a scam.
found some info in https://www.monito.com/en/wiki/euronet-atm-charges-and-fees#...

What is Euronet?

Euronet Worldwide is an American-headquartered worldwide provider of electronic payment services. It operates the largest independent ATM network in Europe and owns a total of almost 46,000 ATMs around the world.

Euronet’s high ATM fees and exchange rates have regularly been criticised, but the company has frequently defended itself, saying that such fees are necessary to cover ATM running costs and the convenience that these machines provide. However, considering that many of Euronet’s ATMs can be found in locations such as airports and supermarkets – where if you need cash fast, there’s little other choice – you could argue that Euronet has found an easy way to generate additional income.

and

Euronet ATMs charge high fees that can quickly catch you out. Here’s what you need to know:

Euronet ATM withdrawal fees vary from €1.95 to €4.99

dynamic currency conversions (DCCs) can stack up to 13% of the total amount, you'll find Euronet ATMs in tourist locations (e.g. airports, shopping centres, busy streets, etc.),

we recommend avoiding Euronet ATMs wherever possible.

Greg, Sam and Elon made a company and literally went out and hired researchers like Ilya.

They pulled together funding, created a company, and hired a team of researchers to operate it. If that isnt founding a company, I dont know what is. Sam was there before all of them

It is not like a scrappy team of researchers with a pre-existing company went out, got funding, then gave the VCs board seats.

If you are going to copy and paste from wikipedia, read a little further:

>In December 2015, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Infosys, and YC Research announced[15] the formation of OpenAI and pledged over $1 billion to the venture. The actual collected total amount of contributions was only $130 million until 2019.[6] According to an investigation led by TechCrunch, Musk was its largest donor while YC Research did not contribute anything at all.[16] The organization stated it would "freely collaborate" with other institutions and researchers by making its patents and research open to the public.[17][18] OpenAI is headquartered at the Pioneer Building in Mission District, San Francisco.[19][20]

According to Wired, Brockman met with Yoshua Bengio, one of the "founding fathers" of deep learning, and drew up a list of the "best researchers in the field".[21] Brockman was able to hire nine of them as the first employees in December 2015.
