There is no evidence that Adam is the ringleader.

All four are possible ringleaders.

Given Ilya's change of heart he is slightly less probable as the ringleader.
No, I think you're mistaking my tone. I was genuinely curious, because it's rare to see someone with a sure view on this mad saga! And I wanted to learn a bit more from the somewhat-less-popular side (I do think there is an odd cultish energy around Sam at the moment from some folks).

I don't know enough about Sam or the board at all, so curious as to reasons why he might be sleazy/sneaky.

The board being quiet, in my opinion, is not doing them any favors!
He didn’t mention API. Just use the web interface
Why do you have to disclaim that? It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I have friends that are also not American, and I’m even okay being seen with them in public. You can feel safe fully disclosing!
Note that the bulk of those renewables is hydropower, which is geographically dependent.
A token sum in this case usually refers to something like a $1 salary or minimum wage, just to be on payroll. So no, not really.
> I've been consistently on the side of OpenAI's board since this started

This all started like 48 hours ago and we still don't know anything
No, that's like an ESM conversion at this point.
> Because they talk well and they've delivered before. Have they delivered something good and secure? Nobody cares, deadlines were met and functionality was shipped.

This is exactly it. These product managers are judged on delivering on time, delivering UI glitz and UI functionality. Rarely anything else.

Actual product security is not even in the top-25 factors they are rated on.

One of these PMs once told me "We will put up some text on our website stating how we are extremely secure against all including nation state attackers, and that's the extent we're investing in security. We will not invest any time in implementation work related to this."

Eventually we did get this PM removed, but about a year of damage was done.

(LinkedIn tells me this PM is now at a FAANG)

This is why I assert that silicon valley was ruined by the rise of the PMs. In the 90s I had never met a PM, now I can't throw a twinkie in any direction without hitting at least three.
Sure but that kind of sounds like it is building a theory of mind of itself.

If it does have considerable training data including prompt and response when people are interacting with itself then I suppose it isn't that surprising.

That does sound like self awareness, in the non magical sense. It is aware of its own behaviour because it has been trained on it.
watch as mass shootings go down when they have a harder time profiling patsies
How would this explain why they felt the need to fire Sam entirely out of the blue (unscheduled board meeting without the president of the board, public announcement 30 minutes before market closed on a Friday)? How does it explain why they claimed he had been lying to the board?
Sapolsky has been at this for many years. Here's a great talk on one of his older books.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9H9qTdserM

Especially with regards to his commentary on Selye's theories/lab work with rats.

Makes sense if you've read a good number of books on stress (i.e. Stress of Life, Sapolsky's work, etc)
This doesn't preclude giving the people who might not "buy" one $50 to spend on whatever the hell they want and then having one of the things on offer be a $200 Chromebook with a $50 price tag on it.

The problem of "someone has no money" should be addressed by giving them money not a Chromebook. If a $200 Chromebook isn't worth $50 to them, I'd rather they keep the $50 and buy something that is worth $50 to them.
Totally agree. GitHub is definitely a more core service that more people rely on than ChatGPT (plus if you're like me you just use Claude until they fix the issue).
Maybe it is Greg_Brockman_30T_fp16.gguf?
>64tass

Yes, that the one.

I'll have to investigate the others you've mentioned.

As long as the license is open source proper, I am interested in tools that run in several platforms (i.e. ISO C better than POSIX, in turn better than Linux-specific) and have good syntax, documentation and error messages.
I believe you could do more good for the same price if you just gave people cash instead of implementing an administrative system to manage distributing laptops. Just give people money and they can buy what they need
One of my favorite features of Scratch is that it's impossible to create syntax errors. The blocks either fit together, or they don't. I think this makes it easier for kids to pick it up and start playing without specific instruction or tutoring.

After following the first couple of steps of the rectangle tutorial, I started clicking around and doing my own thing. I ended up with "call math paint.forward()", giving me a syntax error. Obviously that line is garbage, but I can't figure out how the math instruction is supposed to work. I'm sure if I followed some more of your tutorials I'd have it explained to me, but I think discoverability is important too.
> This doesn't feel temporary if I routinely have to study the Firefox settings to find out what new ways they have found to violate my trust.

I mentioned this already:

> If I have to constantly remind someone over and over again not to slap me in the face, I am going to be annoyed at that person. That person's behavior is bad. But it's still going to be easier to deal that person than with someone who just starts slapping me and refuses to even temporarily stop no matter what I say or do. I still have more agency when dealing with the first person than I have when dealing with the second.

> And actually, I don't really like the idea of ad blockers, they do seem rather bad faith to me.

Then just say that :) Why come on here and trying to create an equivalence if your actual point is that you don't mind what Chrome is doing? From a privacy and unsolicited advertising point of view, Chrome is worse than Firefox.

If you don't mind unsolicited advertising, then sure, use whatever you want. But it feels vaguely disingenuous to phrase "I'm OK with Google advertising to me" as "there's no point switching to Firefox if you don't want ads."

> Firefox though, they get plenty of money from Google when I search via the Firefox search box.

If your position is that Firefox is flush with cash and doesn't require any additional revenue streams, but you worry that Google is a struggling business that will kill Youtube if you install uBlock Origin, then I have very good news for you about Google's annual profits.

I don't understand someone complaining about Firefox being in bed with Google if they don't have an issue with Google's advertising. The reason we don't like that Firefox is in bed with Google is because we don't like Google. If we liked Google, we might even want the companies to be in bed together.

Similarly, if your view of Mozilla showing unsolicited sponsored content is that they're "getting in bed" with AccuWeather, then I have really bad news about how the entirety of Google Ads as a platform works. If you're morally offended that Firefox is working with one closed down weather forecaster, just wait until you find out that Google is currently taking money from all of the closed down weather forecasters. That is how Google Ads works, Google "gets in bed" with those companies and shows you sponsored content from those companies whenever you do a web search.

And I understand being upset that Mozilla would do the same thing, but Mozilla is still strictly speaking doing a lot less of this stuff than Google is.
Not exactly. It is just pricing in the risk of the government making the on/off ramps impossible to access.
Yes, DPDK (which VPP is built on) heavily utilizes IOMMU to provide host protection.

https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/linux_drivers.html discusses it a bit.
Yes, it's often hard to identify this as an outsider. But people inside the company know, and if you've worked in places that handle conflict in healthy ways and in some that handle it not-so-well, you'll know quite clearly within a few days where your workplace stands.
I think the harder you try, the more it becomes an eyesore. My favorite are Corten steel (a self protecting steel that rusts a nice natural red color) pylons personally... They just look "right" in a landscape, or at least as much as you can for humans planting wind turbines everywhere.
I have my fingers in some of our reloadable configuration code and one of the places I see it used a lot is basically a bespoke service discovery system. It's so stupid, and it adds a lot of overhead. There are at least three competing solutions (architectures, not vendors) for this problem and two of them were old hat before this code was ever written.

Stop it.
Ad blockers must use Manifest v2 on Chrome to achieve full functionality, and Manifest v2 extensions will be disabled in June. Any ad blocker that doesn't willingly reduce its functionality is going to be forcibly disabled. The title seems fine to me.
Of course you can run your project like Linux. Your first requirement is to employ Linus Torvalds as a project manager.
GitHub is down all the time. Especially actions.
I think you mean "artists". If they were really artists they wouldn't be afraid of AI.
That have also given different opinions on an employee (sama) to different people, by seemingly acting to bring him back and replace him at the same time. And, they have acted to give the same project (CEO of openai) to different people at the same time... Hmmmm
I feel like it's also hard money wise as a kid, I remember wanting a milling machine and tools/materials to build a boat that was just too absurdly expensive at the time. Also just being limited by cars and stuff, would've loved to be able to go surfing but it's a hard sell to convince your parents to drive 6+ hours round trip for something like that.
I got banned and am not even using a VPN! Overly aggressive bot protection.

And? It's a ferry designed to operate, like most ferries, in littoral waters. Harbors, bays, rivers, channels, and ocean areas close to shores. Not North Atlantic bluewater conditions.

This has as much relevancy as "nerrrrrr, dumb plane, why did they build it if it can't fly from NYC to Australia" while looking at a picture of a Dash-80, a regional commuter plane.
We do it for 3D, too.

Who wants C! I can’t stand C. I didn’t understand system programming until Zig, which is way superior imho. C is old and bad and the syntax is not intuitive.

Ok, so old folks still use C, but we have come a long way since the seventies gramps!

Why would anyone do a C clone?? This is not worth even looking at, a waste of people’s time.

Try Zig instead or maybe Rust (I haven’t tried it)

It is not flooded with junior engineers, it's engineers of all skill levels. I happen to know as someone who is senior looking for work right now. Most of the open positions are for senior and staff level positions.

Microsoft isn't clambering to hire them, they're clambering for the IP. The OpenAI employees will get significantly less if they go over to Microsoft.
Several days later and it's been continued to have been widely reported (backed up by Sam himself), and now this quote from Bloomberg today:

new interim CEO Emmett Shear is involved in mediating these negotiations, creating the frankly unprecedented situation where (1) the interim CEO who replaced (2) the interim CEO who replaced Sam and who (3) got replaced for trying to get Sam back is now (4) deeply involved in a new effort to get Sam back

Explain to me how this was a well thought out transition and not done on a whim? Even the new CEO who was put into place after the interim CEO is trying to get Altman back.

I suspect this is related to whatever tricks they're doing for the (supposed) longer context window. People have noted severe accuracy loss for content in the middle of the context, which to me suggests some kind of summarization step is going on in the background instead of text actually being fed to the model verbatim.

You’re describing an advisory board or oversight council. Like the one Facebook likes to ignore [1].

You complain about people cherry-picking an unfriendly suburb, and then cherry-pick a friendly one. There are both types, and it's basically pure luck (as a kid) if you happen to live in a friendly one.
Those are all valid reasons for not liking Mozilla. What do you use instead then?
I used to live in a mansion block just like in the photo, in Battersea. It was lovely, shared apartment between 4 rich kids and me (keeping up the illusion of wealth). It was more affordable back in 2007-2012 after then the rent has tripled along with the property value, 2009 the value was £250k and in 2023 it is worth 1.25million. Great experience but my lasting memory is of the hell of living with a girl there. I wish I could just remember the good stuff.

Occam Razors would say so.

That's my take as well. They just underestimated the fanboy level of religious following that tech CEOs now possess and the scale of impact that would lead too.

From their point of view, it was just business as usual, or maybe they thought that the more vocal public voice would be that of those that are more concerned with AI and ethics and that also don't want to see AI fall pray to capital driven incentives, and are supportive of OpenAI specifically because of it's Non for profit arrangement.

For example, when Sam became CEO, it led to people leaving and starting Anthropic (now considered OpenAIs biggest competitor), and the reason for that split was because of Sam's increased move away from the core values of OpenAI.

It's very possible they assumed that more people felt that way, and would be happy about their firing of Sam.
Many of the crypto scams in fact "pivoted" to AI.
Amazon.com sued by tech startup after web-traffic deal sputters
Every single person working at OpenAI is going to have disturbed sleep right now, they're uncertain if their job or the projects they're currently working on are safe. Every recruiter in SV is probably losing sleep trying to poach people, getting anyone from OpenAI is striking oil but right now even high level employees who would normally never leave are in flux. There are a lot of startups in SV, including a huge number of startups based on OpenAI's APIs. If you're working for a startup based on the OpenAI API while this is happening you are working long nights to try and find alternatives and figure out whether you have a product tomorrow morning.

This is a huge event like the suddenly bankruptcy of a large company, it's 778 people in flux. Their families won't be sleeping well.
Ah, shoot, I didn't mean to give that impression! I'm actually a big fan of the bay area and lived there for 7 years. I live in Austin now and think that the analysis made Austin appear too good. I need to dig deeper into why the job stats were so similar across cities because that doesn't pass sanity check for me.
OpenAI does not give out stock options to employees. They do give out profit participation units which are effectively kind of similar. They effectively reward employees for profit but don't give any ownership.

Anyway, he's probably doing it for the clout and the "once in a lifetime opportunity," not for any money at all. AGI true believers don't think money will be as important as being close to the apparatus around the AGI will be.

I think the fraudulent route to solvency is even simpler than that:

1. Make Tethers out of thin air and sell for BTC

2. BTC price goes up because crypto boom

3. Sell enough BTC for USD to back the fake Tethers you made up in step 1

4. Balance sheet now looks legit, and you even have BTC to spare to buy yachts for everyone.
HSBC did everything right and still gets crucified for it. Whether your system can distinguish between Wells Fargo and HSBC is actually a pretty good test case.

Sorry to pester you, last question: did you find a source for those at a reasonable price?

Pricing from last time I investigated that would've been more than the P40s, so I'm assuming you did. Apparently the actual ICs are/were incredibly expensive and only Pericom sells them as standalone chips AFAICT. (Edit: oh wow, Pericom got bought by Diodes Inc; this explains a lot)

There should not be any on-off ramps to begin with. People should just transact in XMR directly. That's what crypto was supposed to have been like.
That's because GitHub haven't really innovated in years.

I think the assumption that Ilya was the ringleader still holds and all the evidence still points in that direction. Adam represents the board NOW (after the signed letter and change of heart), but it doesn't mean that Ilya wasn't the key instigator at the start of this and all the way through Monday morning.
Funny to think that a guy like Ilya who is obsessed about AI Alignment is completely incompetent about human alignment.

It makes me wonder: all underground power lines are still laid by digging up the ground, laying them down, and then filling the dirt back in. Which is super-expensive. Right?

Are we trying to develop any technology for "microboring" in tunnels through dirt and clay, and maybe bedrock when occasionally necessary? E.g. just a two-inch diameter tube or something, that's even able to go underneath rivers and things? Solely for laying underground wires?

All around a bad take. But FYI OpenAI's explicit mission has always been to build godlike AI which eclipses humanity in its ability to autonomously perform the majority of economically valuable work.
Awesome. Glad to see there’s other people out there that care and understand that “AI” fully understood, is marginally about the computer, and primarily about society.
