I’d argue strongly that Oban did invent things, including parts of the underlying structure used in River, and the authors agree that it was a heavy influence.

While there is no overlap in technology or structure with Sidekiq, the original Oban announcement on the ElixirForum mentions it along with all of the direct influences:

This isn’t an approval rating, though. For one it’s public. I’m sure there’s a lot of pressure, spoken or unspoken, to sign.

One thing is at some point, you are peer pressured into signing a petition. When your boss, your coworkers, and your reports are already in it, you got to be in it too.

That said, it would still take a significant number of people before it gets to the snowballing phase and it is obvious OAI won't come out of this unscathed.
What I found most interesting were the comments at the end.

Altman states that he expects next year’s improvements to the capabilities of leading models to take everyone by surprise.

Of course, this was right before the recent chaos…

———

Jobs: What is the most remarkable surprise that [you believe] will have happened in your field or in your company in 2024?

Sam: The model capability will have taken such a leap forward that no one expected.

Jobs: Wait, say it again?

Sam: The model capability, like what these systems can do, will have taken such a leap forward no one expected that much progress.

Jobs: And why is that a remarkable thing? Why is it brilliant?

Sam: Well, it’s just different to expectation. I think people have, like, in their mind how much better the model will be next year, and it'll be remarkable how much different it is.
Does openAI have access to private data or are people just realizing they put their entire life on the internet and have no clue it is not actually private?
excellent interview with pertinent questions. satya is a force of nature. troubling msft won ai
Whatever else folks may think of them, what I’ve seen of strong unions makes them look very effective at, specifically, making people feel safe speaking up about breaches of policy (including things like discrimination or hostile workplaces) or safety violations.
Per Satya's interview with Emily Chang, Sam & Greg never joined Microsoft. You can watch the interview to see how he avoids the question and then talk about Microsoft AI.

And remember, he did this AFTER the markets closed, so he was sitting on this information the whole day.

Nah. You need to take into account other factors for real-world usage.
First, their use of a modem is not 'a hotspot' so your comparison (and personal pain points) aren't really comparable.

Some reasons for preferring cellular modem on laptop:

- battery life drain on the phone/hotspot device (and if plugged in, reduces ones ability to freely use the phone)
- security issues of cafes and other public wifi
- no need to turn off/on hotspot
- Your personal experience about emergency service use of local cell or availability of wifi on transit is different than others
- an additional SIM isn't necessarily a subscription but just from the same pool of data

How is ethernet preferable to wireless unless just speaking of speed?

We have no idea how to give anything a subjective experience of itself. We know how to make something behave as if it does externally.

One of the worst versions of AGI might be a system that simulates to us that it has an internal life, but in reality has no internal subjective experience of itself.
I thought the ASCII upper-case <-> lower-case being a bit operation as being clever.
> it could easily be defamatory if you went on to claim that this was therefore routine or a serious problem.

Claiming that the problem is "routine" might be problematic, but I think the problem being "serious" may arguably be non-defamatory. A problem being "routine" implies there's a pattern, which can potentially be proven/disproven, but whether a problem is "serious" seems much more opinion-based. One advertiser may not care that their ads have a minuscule chance of showing up next to objectionable content, and another one may care very much that there's a non-zero chance.
This problem is not the money. It is the equity. I am certain there is no shortage of investors that would dump cash into OpenAI today despite the events of the last couple of days. It's not even the compute. Amazon would happily move them to AWS tomorrow if they got the chance. The issue is Microsoft's 49% equity stake in the company. What would the new investors get in exchange for their cash/compute? 49.5%?
TinaCMS Is Now Open-Source
Not in the article that article (written by the defendants) - the lawsuit, following the example of others, explains how they poked and prodded in very unnatural ways, trying to contrive a circumstance in which ads would be shown next to certain posts - and they did find such! X contends no actual users were or ever would be in this same circumstance, so no brand damage was actually done.

It may hinge on exactly how strong the 'protection' is that Yaccarino alluded to is inferred to be - whether it's reasonable to infer she meant that content moderation under Musk was now perfected and 100% hateproof, at least with respect to ads.
Even if every single technological hurdle is removed the human aspect is the largest likely source of catastrophic failure IMO. A company town with ultra-limited resources and no escape? It will be a cold day in hell before I voluntarily imprison myself in such a high stakes social experiment.
But why do you have to be that clever? If you're caught the consequences are the same regardless and both implementations would exhibit equivalent behavior.

The only superior approach here would be one that is consistent enough to be perceived but noisy enough to be robust to analysis.

Also it should be hidden on the server side.

Who knows, maybe there are a bunch of equivalent slow downs on the server side in the Google property space.

Given this discovery it would probably be reasonable to do some performance testing and change the user agent header string of the request.

Google docs, image search and Gmail operations would be the place to hide them.
Great that it takes people months nowadays interviewing to get hired for a mid level role, but apparently you can offer a half dozen people unvested, uninterviewed CEO roles at a billion dollar company on a whim.

Hi there! I'm the Managing Director of the Foundation. That owing balance is down to the many services for which we rely on Element.

The Foundation has a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Element which includes administrative services, operation of the matrix.org homeserver, and secondment of several personnel whose responsibilities include advocacy, program management, standards work, and trust and safety. The MSA also includes provisions for the Foundation to reimburse Element for any bills they pay on our behalf.

> Another way to look at it is that you are now paying less for the base ticket which used to include those things.

If that were true, sure. But I somehow doubt that's true. I don't have any data to verify this (nor do I know how one would get it), but I would expect that the inflation-adjusted cost of a ticket 20 years ago (when you weren't yet getting nickel and dimed for everything) is comparable to what you pay today for just the base price.

If you want to deter military action involving your country, contributing to its defense is probably the best thing that you can do.

Unless you're not actually the best and brightest that your country can offer.

Even if this all works out in Sam’s favor, I wonder how a lot of these employees could ever work with Ilya again given the amount of money he cost them in equity.

OpenAI approached Anthropic about merger
Okay let’s take your argument at face value. What do you think a trillion dollar market cap company can do with a license and by extending offers to all of OpenAI’s disaffected employees?

Think of what Apple can do with a license to ARM and now compare that to what MS could do with a license to GPT 3?

Do you really think any company would depend on another companies technology the way that MS is dependent on OpenAI without having a favorable license?

I’ve dealt with something similar on a very minute scale on both sides - being a dev lead at a startup where our largest customer accounted for 70% of our revenue and being the dev lead where the company I was working for accounted for 70% of a vendors revenue.

Each time, I saw how much power the customer yielded. It involves lawyers, licensing, contingencies, etc. and in both of the cases above - escrowing of code where the customer got the rights in certain conditions.

I’m 100% sure that MS has better lawyers than I encountered.

Imagine going on vacation from your extremely well paid silicon valley AI job, just to find the company gone and that everyone around you quit a few days ago. I'm sure that happened a few times already but it's not a situation I'd like to find myself in.
I would be curious to know under what circumstances the board indicated that "'allowing the company to be destroyed' would be consistent with the mission'. Because there are some circumstances under which it would. The most obvious is the reason why you strap a shotgun to that server, so to speak.

Hi there! Managing Director of the Foundation here. First, yes, the response times have not been great, though of course that's all been on the basis of volunteerism. Now that there's a full-time staffer you should expect better response times.

And if you are one of those advertisers, how "common" a problem does this have to be to make you think you don't want to advertise there anymore? Even X's filing doesn't claim this "can't happen", just that it doesn't happen frequently.

For CMOs making major ad buys for carefully curated marquis brands like Apple, IBM, et al, I suspect that the only concrete number that they want to be assured of by their advertising platform is "0".
It's not about feasibility or level of intelligence per say - I expect AI to be able to pass a turing test long before an AI actually "wakes up" to a level of intelligence that establishes an actual conscious self identity comparable to a human.

For all intents and purposes the glorified software of the near future will appear to be people but they will not be and they will continue to have issues that simply don't make sense unless they were just really good at acting - the article today about the AI that can fix logic errors but not "see" them is a perfect example.

This isn't the generation that would wake up anyway. We are seeing the creation of the worker class of AI, the manager class, the AI made to manage AI - they may have better chances but it's likely going to be the next generation before we need to be concerned or can actually expect a true AGI but again - even an AI capable of original and innovative thinking with an appearance of self identity doesn't guarantee that the AI is an AGI.

I'm not sure we could ever truly know for certain

You're accepting the board's good vs. evil framing without any evidence that Altman sacrificed safety for profit, or that the board (the Quora guy, really?) is any better. OpenAI needs money to achieve its mission. Training GPT-4 alone cost over $100 million. Commercializing the product is not bad in itself.
It's not "clearly" for nefarious purposes, because it's not "clear" at all what the code was doing or why, from just that one tiny snippet. By looking at the context of the code it was a part of, you see what it's really there for, which has a reasonable explanation. 30 seconds of looking at the thread linked above would have shown that, but that ruins the fun of jumping to the conclusions one wants to be true.

The conspiracy theory is that Jews are in charge of the world and control things like who gets to immigrate to the USA.

The argument he's making (which I've seen more openly stated in other places) is: "Jews don't like it that minorities are killing them in their country, but that's just deserts for them pushing immigrants to my country".

Antisemites are more coy on popular platforms like Twitter so it's more difficult to understand what they're saying if you're not already familiar with their world view.
Accusing Jews of “dialectical hatred against whites” seems like a fairly prejudiced statement.

Value can be 100% contingent on factor X without factor X taking all of the responsibility for it. All value is contingent on the sun, atmosphere, and natural life supporting our existence on earth, but we don’t see comments on every thread about how value is 100% dependent on trees.

Similarly, labor does not deserve 100% of the fruits of the economic system.
There's a nonzero chance that just filing the lawsuit will make things worse (discovery, anti-SLAPP countersuit, advertisers seeing the chaos and leaving faster) than doing nothing at all.

"It is well known for example that algorithms
which require arbitrary jumps in memory are
worse than those that require linear scans"

Even this is a suspect assumption once you factor in things like address space randomization, whatever weirdo microcode stuff systems are doing to mitigate timing attacks, multiple cores, etc.

Or rather: arbitrary jumps are bad, but you can't make any assumptions about what is a "linear" scan, so good luck attempting to model that with some kind of generalized notation.

Even with all of that considered, admittedly, theoretically-linear memory accesses will still tend to be actually linear, I guess, if they fall inside the same memory page or whatever. In which case this shiny new notation may actually be moderately predictive. Which isn't that much better or different than where we're already at with old-school Big O.
It must be an incredible burden always knowing the truth, when other people actually have to do investigations for that.
I must admit, the first clause of my sentence was mostly a vehicle for the second clause, the punchline — sole-proprietors not approving of themselves. It loses a bit in the explaining. Although whatever that 95% is a proxy for, they clearly trust Altman dramatically, enough to endure a job at a Microsoft subsidiary.
The bajillion-jurisdictions problem can be solved on an aggregate basis.

Charge everyone $100 inclusive-of-taxes. Keep $93.50 of that from a customer in Phoenix, $92.75 from a customer in Los Angeles, and all $100 from a customer in Oregon. If you have approximate knowledge of how your demand breaks down, you could come up with an all-inclusive price that produces the average bottom-line revenue you want.
I’m more convinced this whole thing was Adam D’Angelo feeling blindsided by the GPT store which is effectively what his Poe platform does, and then convincing Ilya and the two other board members to agree with some hand wavy explanation to fire him.

Not only that, but apparently several state attorney generals are interested in 'investigating' that outlet for saying things Elon didn't like.

Using the power of the state to 'investigate' media you don't like is some real free speech absolutism.

Policies are overridden all the time. Plus, lots of people at Microsoft are paid similarly so it's not as outlandish as it may seem.
Well there’s a significant difference in the board’s incentives. They don’t have any financial stake in the company. The whole point of the non-profit governance structure is so they can put ethics and mission over profits and market share.
Presumably the advertisers are concerned about being shown while someone is having a negative reaction to bad content, or about being associated with the bad content.

If an individual user has specifically sought out the bad content though, they presumably don't themselves think it is bad, and so they don't have a negative reaction to it and also they don't have a negative view of an advertiser being associated with it. Is it still a problem for the advertiser? It's at least not a public perception problem anymore, more of an edge case of "do I want to encourage antisemites to shop at Target" kind of thing.
