We had a thread about OpenAI Staff Threaten to Quit Unless Board Resigns, but I thought I might as well add it again. Especially because of this part:
Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s chief scientist and a member of its board, who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place.
Okay then. I think we are in a simulation, someone quick saved, and is now experimenting what the outcomes of random decisions are.
A minor piece of information was that OpenAI Approached Anthropic About Merger, and The Atlkantic has a slightly longer look and speculation what’s going on Inside the Chaos at OpenAI.
With Ilya’s recent turn around, there’s apparently also the option of Altman coming back Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO, something even MS would apparently be okay with, at least publically.
Business Analysis blog Stratechery posted some analysis on OpenAI’s Misalignment and Microsoft’s Gain.
Loving it, this is like SubredditDrama, but without having any actual chance of affecting me (I don’t believe in AGI coming out of LLMs), and on a global scale.
Heh:
The OpenAI tussle is between the faction who think Skynet will kill them if they build it, and the faction who think Roko’s Basilisk will torture them if they don’t build it hard enough.
I love it when techbros try philosophy 101, their so utterly disconnected from realty that any brilliant idea they had on pot must be the basis of the universe.
