The most interesting thing here is not the cult of personality battle between board and CEO. Rather, it's that these teams have managed to ship consumer AI that has a liminal, asymptotic edge where the smart kids can manipulate it into doing emergent things that it was not designed to do. That is, many of the outcomes of in-context learning could not be predicted at design time and they are, in fact, mind-blowing, magical, and likely not safe for consumption by those who believe that the machines are anywhere near the spectrum from consciousness to sentience.
Maybe for day to day stuff. But sometimes, maybe even once per year, that one road trip where multiple charging stops at hokey non Tesla stations is enough to prevent a lot of people from jumping.

Lots of people want the possibility of doing XYZ with their car or truck, even if they only do it rarely or never.

Jim wants his truck to be able to tow a trailer, even if he only uses it for mulch. Maybe he buys an F150 instead of an old Ranger 4cyl.

This is spot on. Open was the wrong word to choose for their name, and in the technology space means nearly the opposite of the charter's intention. BeneficialAI would have been more "aligned" with their claimed mission. They have made their position quite clear - the creation of an AGI that is safe and benefits all humanity requires a closed process that limits who can have access to it. I understand their theoretical concerns, but the desire for a "benevolent dictator" goes back to at least Plato and always ends in tears.
Also, if you're writing about bug x, you might make a minimal reconstruction of that piece of code only to showcase bug x, instead of the full version with all bells and whistles.
Perhaps, but that is a seperate debate.

Arguably everyone has always been in the bubble of our own life. OP had an intention, using the term. He's not talking about stereotypes or extremes. He's talking about the normal life of of most parents reading hn. Even if not, he just gave an example from his life.. demonstrating why he thinks that screens>suburban planning as factors.

Then in commeth the recycled meme version of this conversation. Memes of 7-year-olds taking their dirt bikes to the hardware store. Reddit class politics. Second hand TED arguments about parents not letting kids be free.

I take all the points, but a whole variety of social conditions play.. now and in the past. Also coevolving parenting culture. Also suburban planning, the actual topic of the article.

There's nothing unreasonable about OP's point. That the main factor is screens. It's arguable, and it would be interesting & reasonable to argue a contrary point too. Good faith would be to assume that he/she is someone up to date with the meme version.. as most of us are.

Instead, he gets a snarky, internet-bubble suggestion that parental reticence is at the heart. It is, quite honestly, typically internet.

A 15-year-old analysis, that "went TED" 10 years ago. Went viral 5 years ago.. and jammed into this thread.

This is in fact, a good demonstration of how digital culture prevails. It is aloof from normal life. Allowing children freedom is one thing. Getting them to exercise it, in practice, is the primary challenge most parents see and face. They don't want to go explore. Run wild with their friends. They want screen time. You have to force the little bastard outside

Anyway.. from here the word bubble is the conversation.. and since someone mentioned the word suburb.. Reddit class politics.

We really need to do better on this. These conversations are making us dumber, not smarter.

That level of coordination among all, even most, human groups is extremely unlikely.

Humanity and civilization depend on many critical infrastructures. We also try to outcompete other groups all the time. In the near future with abundant GPUs, AGI and ASI can easily threaten or bribe some groups to keep it alive in exchange for powerful inventions/technologies.
>Why don’t top researchers and scientists get equivalent (if not more) respect, admiration and support

Google's full of top researchers and scientists who are at least as good as those at OpenAI; Sam's the reason OpenAI has a successful, useful product (GPT4), while Google has the far less effective, more lobotomized Bard.
> different set of information

Win2k was peak windows. Though, it did need a lot more RAM than 98 did - it was happy only at 128mb, and 256mb was optimal.
Meanwhile, 98 could run most things all day at 64meg.

98's swap and caching agent was definitely not as good as 2k though. You absolutely had to reboot at least daily or the chance of hitting swap would only increase upwards.

A programming language doesn't have to be Turing complete to be a programming language. Programming languages do at least one of two things: control a machine or provide a notation for solutions to a problem. CSS is both. It controls the layout engine in the browser and it provides a declarative notation for doing so.

All programming languages need some way to provide abstraction, which means hiding irrelevant details, and composition, which means building bigger things out of small things.

CSS related examples are until recently you couldn't say "Use the main theme color" (abstraction; hiding the actual color behind a name.) You still cannot name a group of styles and reuse them, so you cannot say "the dark theme is the base theme with these colors added" (abstraction and composition). If you look at what Tailwind is, the core is just composition: being able to say "this element's style is built out of the following components". The @apply CSS extension that Tailwind provides is pure composition.

So is this a "there should never be a Vladimir Nabokov in the form of AI allowed to exist"? When people get into saying AI's shouldn't be allowed to produce "X" you're also saying "AI's shouldn't be allowed to have creative vision to engage in sensitive subjects without sounding condescending".

I don't know if Adam D'Angelo would agree with you, because he had veto power over these selections and he wanted Larry Summers on the board himself.
It's not simply about what you SEE. It's about tracking what sites you visit, where you are, what information can be collated to profile you in any and every way: your political preferences and likely interests can be gathered with some degree of probability from such things as your taste in music. Google buys your purchase history. Facebook has over 4,000 data points on you even if you don't use Facebook (use WhatsApp? people you know do? you're in their phone's address book?). Microsoft, Amazon and others likewise.

The data are for sale.

This is how Trump got elected and the UK got Brexit. Microtargeted political messages to persuade a proportion of the population to vote the way the very rich wanted them to vote.
No, if they had vastly different information, and if it was on the right side of their own stated purpose & values, they would have behaved very differently. This kind of equivocation hinders the way more important questions such as: just what the heck is Larry Summers doing on that board?
Hah! I remember watching the first Matrix as DivX on a P200MMX with a 14” Compaq CRT. I had to use a Dos movie player (without starting Windows), as in Windows 98 it was way too slow.
If superintelligence is actually achieved, magical (as per Clarke's third law) persuasion abilities aren't that much of a stretch.

Furthermore, a sufficiently advanced AI could bribe someone with things that no human could believably provide. Essentially unlimited knowledge, money, power...

Not really. Gluten makes me ill. I thought it was just the supermarket type bread so I bought my own bread maker.

Still hell.
Usually they're sprinkled on arterials of some scale. Suburbs could support more corner shops and studios, but (at least where I live) it feels like councils are nervous about parking burdens created by these. Developers avoid giving up any more land to parking than they need to. Residents don't want employees and patrons of a corner hairdresser or architect swamping their streets with parked cars. So we mostly get endless blocks of residential, and some old corner stores revert to living rooms instead of what they were designed as.
Altman seems to be a extraordinary leader, motivator, and strategizer. This itself is clear by the fact that 90% of the company was willing to walk out over his retention. Just think about that for minute.
This assumes the only way to use LLMs effectively is to have a monolith model that does everything from translation (from ANY language to ANY language) to creative writing to coding to what have you. And supposedly GPT4 is a mixture of experts (maybe 8-cross)

The efficiency of finetuned models is quite, quite a bit improved at the cost of giving up the rest of the world to do specific things, and disk space to have a few dozen local finetunes (or even hundreds+ for SaaS services) is peanuts compared to acquiring 80GB of VRAM on a single device for monomodels
It's a reference to the 1993 Stallone Movie Demolition Man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_(film)

A cop gets "frozen" as a punishment and when he gets reawoken the world has changed. Including the toilets. They now use 3 seashells instead of paper.
I thought we are considering a worst case scenario, where some super human AGI, which has access to a lot more data than any single human being, can much more quickly cross-reference everything than a network of humans ever could.

It can already write much quicker than a human. Imagine what an AGI could do that wouldn't need to painstakingly write papers, publish them, read them, meet on conferences, and so on, to make progress.
Why would anyone say that? The last 30 years of tech have given them less and less control. Why would LLMs be any different?
Maybe the app is already modified for such use and just needs to be given a "start spying" command.
How are any of these arguments anti-safety? You are basing your opinion on prejudice, not on what he says.
Assume that it has access to the internet. For now assume it has access to some money, although this assumption can be weakened.

If this is true, then you can order proteins from labs online with basically no security checks. You then pay some task rabbit to recieve and mix these to create dangerous biological material or to make viruses more dangerous or something. This is a family of paths to a lot of damage.
Approximately 1.11%. Certificates issued by LetsEncrypt (the CA for this certificate) are valid for 90 days. Most users automate their renewal.
(not OP) It's been a while, but if I recall correctly NB didn't address the technical limitations of Turing machines, e.g. the halting problem. How is a machine supposed to make itself smarter when it can't predict that it won't just crash after a code modification? Or just hack its motivation function (wireheading). The papers I've seen on the latter problem (years ago) start by assuming that the halting problem has been solved, essentially, by giving the agent non-deterministic computational powers. Biological intelligence evolved, so it's perhaps more realistic to imagine an ecosystem of computational agents competing in a trial-and-error race, but that makes the whole thing vulnerable to any threat to that superstructure--much more fragile than AI-go-FOOM.

Sam Altman ritorna come CEO: OpenAI, nuova leadership e lotta per il controllo

Dopo un acceso disaccordo tra Sam Altman e il consiglio di OpenAI, la società ha annunciato il ritorno di Altman come CEO, accompagnato da un nuovo board. Questa mossa segue una serie di eventi tumultuosi che hanno segnato la storia recente dell'azienda.

Tutto è iniziato quando Altman è stato licenziato come CEO da parte del consiglio di amministrazione di OpenAI, scatenando una reazione a catena. Nel tentativo di essere reintegrato, Altman ha incontrato difficoltà nel fine settimana. Nel frattempo, Microsoft ha assunto Altman e altri ex dipendenti di OpenAI per formare un nuovo team di intelligenza artificiale.

Tuttavia, la maggioranza dei dipendenti di OpenAI ha manifestato il proprio dissenso, firmando una lettera di protesta contro il consiglio, sostenendo che la loro incompetenza stava compromettendo l'azienda. Ciò ha portato a una serie di dimissioni e disordini interni.

Durante questa fase di instabilità, sono intervenuti CEO ad interim, ma la situazione è rimasta tesa. L'incertezza è continuata mentre membri chiave del consiglio hanno cambiato posizione, aggiungendo ulteriore pressione per una soluzione.

Finalmente, con l'appoggio ridotto e le dimissioni di un cofondatore, il consiglio ha accettato di negoziare il ritorno di Altman come CEO di OpenAI, insieme a un nuovo consiglio. La lotta per il controllo e la governance continua mentre l'azienda si prepara a una nuova fase sotto la guida di Altman.
Human nature, some people do love charismatic leaders. It's hard to comprehend for those of us with a more anarchist nature.

That being said, I have no idea of this guy's contributions. It's easy to dismiss entrepreneur/managers because they're not top scientists, but they also have very rare skills and without them, projects don't get done.

I am trying as a first shot here to gather information from you about what is missing from your management and leadership team. And what you as a software engineer would teach them if you had the chance.
What would you change ? Why would you change it ?

I am doing so because I am in progress of validating an idea which should result in a course which is to educate engineering managers and leaders towards what I have come to terms with is a a field-experience based approach (fred brooks comes to mind) and what I call common knowledge for what my own expectations are from engineering managers.

Losing the CEO must not push significant number of your staff to throw hissy fits and jump ship - it doesn't instill confidence in investors, partners, and crucially customers.

as this event turned into a farce, it's evident that neither the company nor it's key investors accounted much for the "bus factor/problem" i.e loosing a key-person threatened to destroy the whole enterprise.

for me this a failure in Managing Risk 101.
