We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.
We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
Seems like the person running the simulation had enough and loaded the earlier quicksave.
What a roller coaster of I don’t give a shit.
I don’t really care, but I find it highly entertaining :D It’s like trash TV for technology fans (and as text, which makes it even better) :D
Really this whole open ai drama was very entertaining. Wonder whether this is it or they have something more in store!
I’ve heard so much conflicting shit over this event that I have no idea what to believe
These article titles need different headlines and they need to date them. We’ve seen this same headline 3 or 4 times now within the last week and yet nobody knows which point is what unless we cross-reference the dates in the articles. Which coincidentally are always in ^^small text hidden by the title^^ and could simply be solved by having a date in the title.
The complete victory of money.
Eh, not sure I agree. Seems to also have been between too little and too much AI safety, and I strongly feel like there’s already too much AI safety.
What indications do you see of “too much AI safety?” I am struggling to see any meaningful, legally robust, or otherwise cohesive AI safety whatsoever.
Using it and getting told that you need to ask the Fish for consent before using it as a flesh light.
And that is with a system prompt full of telling the bot that it’s all fantasy.
edit: And “legal” is not relevant when talking about what OpenAI specifically does for AI safety for their models.
This article does not make clear whether or not the new board will remain committed to its non-profit position.
I presume that’s what this whole sordid affair is all about, but no one is saying it.
I think most people don’t realize how unusual their company structure is. It feels like it’s set up to let them do exactly that. As far as I can tell, once you look past the smoke and mirrors, the board effectively controls both the non-profit and the for-profit.
At this point, investors be like oh shit, these fuckers have no idea what they’re doing
It’s a non-profit. There are no investors.
Microsoft gave them some money in return for IP rights… and they will potentially one day get their money back (and more) if OpenAI is ever able to pay them, but they’re not real investors. The amount of money Microsoft might get back is limited.
It’s a non-profit. There are no investors.
Hah.
OpanAI, Inc. is non-profit. OpenAI Global is a for-profit entity, and has been for years now. They’re trying to have their cake and eat it, too.
