They can produce text that is more sound than prior text that appeared earlier in the same input, when interim text indicates that something in the earlier block was unsound. (Sometimes)

It's the same pattern you'd see in a pedagological article about correcting reasoning errors, except that it's able to generate some share of the article content on its own.

With more layers of post-processing behind a curtain, you might be able to build an assembly over this behavior that looked convincingly like it was correcting reasoning errors on its own.

So... yes and no.

Plot twist: Satya orchestrated the ousting of sama to begin with, so that this would happen.
> If it turns out those were not ultimately motivated by actual concern for the good of the company then they have a lot of problems.

The boards duty is to to the charitable mission, not any other concept of the “good of the company”, and other than the government if they are doing something like pursuing their own private profit interest or acting as an agent for someone elses or some other specific public wrongs, the people able to make a claim are pretty narrow, because OpenAI isn't membership-based charity in which there are members to whom the board is accountable for pursuit of the mission.

People keep acting like the parent organization here is a normal corporation, and its not, and even the for-profit subsidiary had an operating agreement subordinating other interests to the charitable mission of the parent organization.
Grossly incomplete reporting to the point where it is clearly biased (no surprise, given that it's WSJ).

The CTA (corporate transparency act) only affects small businesses that file as an entity with a state (e.g corporations, LLCs). Sole proprietors, partnerships, trusts, etc are not affected.

Further, it has already been postponed. As of Jan 1 2024, only new entities are required to file within 30 days. New businesses already have a checklist of thinks they need to do upon startup, it should be easy to add this to the list. Existing entities have been postponed by a full year to Jan 1 2025.

And the penalties for failure to file are greatly reduced if a correction is made with a reasonable time period.

It was passed with bi-partisan support in Congress, if that matters.

OAI cares more about the likelihood 90% of the employees leave than what Sam does or doesn't do.

The employees mass resigning depends entirely on whether Sam actually becomes a real employee or not. That hasn't happened yet.
"The generation is often defined as people born from 1946 to 1964" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomers

In the 1980 Presidential election, won by Reagan with 51% of the vote, the oldest Boomers were 34 years old, the youngest 16, and thus not even eligible to vote.

According to the linked document, Carter slightly won voters under 30, whereas Reagan won voters 30+ with 55%. It's unclear how exactly 30-44 broke down, but in any case the total of that whole group was only 31% of the voters, and the oldest Boomers were 34. https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-1980

> And to be clear I was referring to Boomers voted for Clinton.

But you admitted that you don't even know whether Reagan or Clinton watered down anti-monopoly laws.
Open Source Academic Publishing Suite
Have you ever actually looked into people who do that? They put in a lot of effort into understanding the original creator, their intent, process, materials etc. The copies are still very much art as they are expressions of the imitator's feelings towards the work. Performing studies of popular art by trying to replicate it is a powerful tool for learning precisely because it allows you, as an artist, to understand how the original artist thought, helping you learn to think like an artist and leading you to develop your own ideas and means of expression.

AI is none of that.
honestly, that's not my experience. sure you can admit in front of your friends, family and people that know you even if they are not your friend.

Admitting the mistake in front of strangers, usually leads to them making the shortcut next time and assuming you are wrong again.

you wont get any awards for admitting the mistake.

I reckon it would be useful if there were a set of open source MOE models with different sizes, like llama, for example 1.5B, 7B, 34B and 72B (or perhaps those numbers x the number of experts). It would enable much experimentation in the community. Not many are GPU rich enough to play with a 1.6T model!
That would be one very rude awakening, probably to the point where you initially would think you're being pranked.
Is the duty to make sure you know you aren’t paying to a sanctioned entity, or is it to not know whether or not you are?

Given the sources of many of these attacks, one should reasonably assume they are likely to be doing business with a sanctioned entity, right?

> Altman's bio is so typical. Got his first computer at 8. My parents finally opened the wallet for a cheap E-Machine when I went to college.

I grew up poor in the 90s and had my own computer around ~10yrs old. It was DOS but I still learned a lot. Eventually my brother and I saved up from working at a diner washing dishes and we built our own Windows PC.

I didn't go to college but I taught myself programming during a summer after high school and found a job within a year (I already knew HTML/CSS from high school).

There's always ways. But I do agree partially, YC/VCs do have a bias towards kids from high end schools and connected families.
I think ITAR covers exporting, which is necessarily intentional. At least I'm not aware of any espionage victim also being subject to ITAR prosecution.

What is Mirai? Can you re-explain what you said in plain english?
This article reads to me like, "people are angry about the economy, but have run out of ways to explain their anger with numbers." In other words, when unemployment is good, and inflation-adjusted wages are good, and spending is good, and investments are good ... what else is there?

Maybe there is some hidden variable we're missing in our economic models which can account for the discontent. But this article has not presented what exactly that's supposed to be.
90% of the OpenAI staff threatened to leave, so I can see two possibilities for the future:

- The OpenAI staff stays and the current board is replaced by Microsoft

- The OpenAI staff leaves and goes work for Microsoft.

Either way Microsoft has 100% control over this technology, thus the best possible outcome is OpenAI releasing it.
I've never bought the official explanation for this. We have just four iron atoms per hemoglobin. But the roughly quarter-billion of these per red blood cell are in the red blood cells, which presumably haven't all suddenly lysed and dumped their hemoglobin.

I think we should test with blood plasma first. I'm thinking it is the various salts in the plasma we're tasting, not the iron bound up in hemoglobin which is itself trapped inside of red blood cells.
The people working there would know if they were getting close to AGI. They wouldn't be so willing to quit, or to jeopardize civilization altering technology, for the sake of one person. This looks like normal people working on normal things, who really like their CEO.
Not a great comparison since every website needs to be vulnerability free, but not every passenger needs or wants to pick their own seat.

I would think if there was a major horrible thing to find that Boeing would

It is a black mark against them that they were vulnerable.

At age 10 I wanted to be the "chief of Microsoft", because I heard that Bill Gates was the richest person in the world. That did not quite work out yet. But I am a director of a software company. And even though employeeless and unremarkable, it makes more money that anyone in my family has ever made.
> about 700 employees seem to think their livelihood matters and that the board didn't exercise their duty of care towards them

It is difficult to see how such a duty would arise. OpenAI is a non-profit. The company's duty was to the non-profit. The non-profit doesn't have one to the company's employees; its job was literally to check them.

To be honest it's hard to take someone who liked 1899 seriously. This show is so bad on many levels. It's pretty but that's it. Pedantic boredom at best, convoluted nonsense most of the time.

I don't think Netflix cares about your type of subscriber, nor do I think they should. It is extremely niche taste, and in my opinion rather poor. You are free to like death metal but most people who rather listen to nothing instead...
Everyone has a price, yet Microsoft can't buy the three board members on OpenAI board. Curious.

Your initial statement was flatly wrong, and you're grasping at straws to make it still true. Microsoft wouldn't be able to get anywhere if the people who work for OpenAI chose to stay. The choice they're making to leave is still their choice, made of their own volition.
Interesting question. Has anyone tested this?
Check phrasing.
It's clear that Adam himself has a strong conflict of interest too. The GPT store announcement on DevDay pretty much killed his company Poe. And all this started brewing after DevDay announcement. Maybe Sam kept it under the wraps from Adam and the board.

I don't remember that ever being the prevailing sentiment. That was a sentiment by a particular subgroup, but I remember the prevailing sentiment being that Twitter will get even worse than before. Which most people I know think has happened.
If this is the case, then just run it X times till error rate drops near 0. AGI solved.
There are instances where that doesn't make sense. For example, there was that plastic surgery office that got hacked a couple weeks ago. I get why they think it's better to at least try to prevent such private information from getting out. making it illegal to pay the ransom means that every patients' medical history and pre/post op photos would be leaked. That's a nightmare.
After reading the lawsuit more closely, it seems like they’re arguing that Apple rejects applications that include cryptocurrency features but weren’t submitted by regulated financial institutions.

One of their examples was a social network app that was rejected for including a crypto tipping feature.
IE had "native RSS" going back to somewhere around IE4 or IE5. There was some "Active Desktop" nonsense you could do with RSS really early on, which would have been IE4. IE's approach was very similar to Firefox's: clicking an RSS feed would give you a pretty printed XML page by default, which wasn't exactly useful, but might also have side links to some use cases for RSS depending on some combinations of addons installed and configured preferences.

Just like Firefox at the time, the most common built-in usecase was that you could subscribe an RSS feed as an auto-updating Bookmarks Folder. But there were addons that did all sorts of things and some feed readers supported various sorts of integrations with IE.

IE even shared its feed reading engine as a shared COM control with a built-in Windows service. It was something like BITS [Background Intelligent Transfer Service], Windows' background downloader service, where you could hand it feeds, it would manage feed polling, it tried to be smart about it with things like exponential back-off and downloading feeds during idle bandwidth periods on your machine, and give you back a very simple RSS-like data store of whatever it found. Outside of IE using it, so far as I know the only other major "feed reader" to integrate it was Outlook. I think even fewer people (I did) made use of the RSS features in Outlook than made use of the RSS features in IE and almost no one made use of the fact that IE and Outlook had a shared view of the same feeds, but when IE dropped native RSS is when Outlook dropped RSS support because they didn't want to own the feed reading engine.
It's your naive comment that I find hilarious. it's a business like any other that puts food on peoples plates. in fact, a mature business with a deep and sophisticated industry. it benefits all participants when everyone behaves reliably and predictably. These aren't amateurs.
From what I understand there's a market for ransomware negotiators, and reputation (and tooling) is very much a thing that affects settled price.

Understand: For the ransomer's point of view this is another monday, albeit one where a big fish walked away.

The whole reductionist construct of "whiteness", beloved by so many contemporary scholars has little currency in the minds and hearts of many Americans educated before the wave of critical race theory.

Earlier the preferred term for the exclusionary elites was WASP (white anglo-saxon protestants) and large swathes of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe plus the Irish were excluded, including my own ancestors. In the small town midwest world I first encountered it was muted social war between the protestants vs. the catholics, with class nuances, as the former generally were better educated and wealthier. Jews in a nearby city were looked on at the time as a bit exotic, successful, and impressive, as were the few Asians.

As I grew up, studied on both coasts, and lived in countries around the world, I have never encountered a country without stark, if at times quite subtle, social and religious divisions. Among those, the current "whiteness", "white privilege" discourse is surely the most ludicrous, with exceptions at every turn. In what world should, say, Portuguese and Finns be lumped together as members of an oppressor class?!
Tragedy of the commons. We need to establish a centralized judicial system to identify and shut down bad ransomware actors.
Many of those employees will be dissapointed. MS says they extend a contract to each one but how many of those 700 are really needed when MS already have a lot of researchers in that field. Myabe the top 20% will have an assured contract but th rest is doubtfull will pass the 6 month mark.
As with most things, we can blame Reagan and the political movement that shaped him. The aggression against people who need help has direct roots to Reagan's (in)famous welfare queen talking points, that were mirrored overseas with Thatcher and her ilk. This myth of these (not stated but implied to be) black women who were having all these children and cashing government checks to live a luxurious lifestyle. And like, yes, if you zoom out to the entire country, welfare fraud is a thing that occurs but the rate of it's occurrence is absurdly low, and moreover, the ones that do occur are far from living high on the hog off the public dole. There is NO evidence for any of that shit but it was all the conservatives banged on for for literal decades as they slashed the social safety nets to tatters and added more and more disgusting means testing and restrictions to what little benefits were left.
I don't think it's greed to want to raise a family in a good neighborhood and provide your children with opportunities. Or pay for your parents medical appointments. Or not want to work well into your 80's.

If that's greed then everyone is "greedy".
Condition might be that it is hands-off.

"honored promise not to disclose, didn't gloat or taunt, would pay again, 10/10"
This seems like a really myopic view, focused on ideas like blame and purity.

Or, another way, this seems like a blame the messenger strategy. Sure, great, Media Matters is not a perfect arbiter of whatever. But how does that make it not a problem that Ford's ads are showing next to overt Nazi content? Am I (or is Ford) supposed to handwave it away because the same thing could happen on another platform?
I'll start by saying that these particular claims seem to mean absolutely nothing per everything I've heard. It seems to be a mentally ill person accusing someone of something that may very well have never happened.

Innocent until proven guilty though is the standard for legal punishment, not for public outrage. It's a standard meant to constrain the use of violence against an individual, not to prevent others from adjusting their association to them.

Also, the standard is "beyond a reasonable doubt". Nothing outside perhaps of mathematical truths could be proven "beyond a shadow of a doubt". There's always some outside chance one can imagine.
I was under the impression the iron in the blood was in the form of hemoglobin. Does hemoglobin itself have a metallic taste, or is the taste caused by something else in the blood?
They don't all seem to be keen on safety anymore.
Agreed. Starting from before the anthropic exodus, I suspect the timeline looks like:

(2015) Founding: majority are concerned with safety

(2019) For profit formed: mix of safety and profit motives (majority still safety oriented?)

(2020) GPT3 released to much hype, leading to many ambition chasers joining: the profit seeking side grows.

(2021) Anthropic exodus over safety: the safety side shrinks

(2022) chatgpt released, generating tons more hype and tons more ambitious profit seekers joining: the profit side grows even more, probably quickly outnumbering the safety side

(2023) this weeks shenanigans

The safety folks probably lost the majority a while ago. Maybe back in 2021, but definitely by the time the gpt3/chatgpt motivated newcomers were in the majority.

Maybe one lesson is that if your cofounder starts hiring a ton of people who aren’t aligned with you, you can quickly find yourself in the minority, especially once people on your side start to leave.
Programs are implementations of specifications, they're not specifications themselves. Unless you're talking about like Coq or TLA+.
Lets say this goes to trial and Binance is convicted. What will the sentence be? A fine. Allowing them to pay now without the trial basically is like a plea deal (or pleading guilty for a reduced sentence). Presumably this is less than the DoJ thinks the fine+court costs would be if they went to trial.
Hah didn’t even realize my comment could be read that way (yeah I do know who Smaug is)

Useful to whom? Email dumps and other data could be useful for further breaches and attacks against personnel. I'm sure their infosec will be going through everything but they could miss stuff and personal information is exploitable for fraud even with awareness.

A lot the accusations sound like those "organized gang stalking" groups you see on social media which are mostly people with what sounds like paranoid schizophrenia confirming each others delusion.

I don't mean to sound pejorative with the word delusion here: But they all tend to have one fixed common belief that everyone or almost everyone around them, neighbors , family , random people on the street are all colluding against them usually via electronic means.
Is that a new kind of McCarthyism?

I also think EA is mostly unhelpful and possibly even dangerous, but it's more effective and honest to criticise actions rather than association.
