So?

>A lot of the initial speculation is that the coup was led by Ilya over AI safety concerns, but that seems unlikely now given how quickly he switched sides.

If the above is real then it kind of changes things.

Interesting. Also what a clusterfuck.

At this point this whole thing looks more like

>tech billionaires and mammoth corporation use the full weight of social media to exert control over a non-profit organization, and also telling us what to think about the event without having enough info.

The framing in these articles is insane.

You get my point. With all due respect to Sam's technical abilities, if I'd have to choose one to make AI/AGI I'd clearly go with Ilya. The fact that Sam goes to Microsoft doesn't mean all OpenAI is moves to Microsoft. That is the point I'm trying to make

I was not talking about the success but the core tech those employees are working with. That's what really matters isn't it?

This article is that Obama meme awarding a medal to himself. Also I don't get it, OpenAI's product was technically made by Ilya who's still at OpenAI.

For me the real danger of AGI (even aligned), fast forward in some future where robotics are similarly advanced to create full human motion replacement, is that it will dilute if not completely replace human work, ANY kind. And the real danger doesn't come from AGI itself, comes from the psychopaths having control of it.

Non-profit org man. We still don't know what happened and their actions might align to their mission. Weird how quite a few people with your narrative mistake it for a for-profit company.

I don't get it, how is OpenAI "dead"? Are you going to stop using ChatGPT or?

He may have no choice but to try to play this card at this point? The stakes are pretty high I suppose. You don't just give up such level of potential control over this tech.

Yeah clearly, at least I have no clue what really happened and don't feel like I have enough info to put anything together at this point.

The amount of money and power their products might offer makes it pretty desirable. Theoretically there should be no limit to the amount and type of shenanigans that are possible in this particular situation.

>And it might not exist next week if the board doesn't resign.

Huh? Can't they just hire new people instead? They are a non profit org after all.

Scientists are easily blindsided by psychos dealing with enormous amounts of money and power. They also happen to suck at politics.

>with a non-profit vestigial organ that will now be excised.

If this happens I'm not trusting any other non-profit org ever again.

But do they build for free? Or do they build for money, and especially for the perspective of even more money?

But employees are motivated by money and the perspective of more. That kinda casts doubt on the whole angle really. At least in my book.
