Greg Brockman, OpenAI’s president and former board chairman, resigned, and the two have been talking to friends about starting another company. A string of senior researchers also resigned on Friday, and people close to OpenAI say more departures are in the works.
wow what a clusterfuck
wow what a clusterfuck
no, that would be the polycule https://twitter.com/HRTFRG/status/1725681262919377030
Fuck twitter. Post a screenshot of the tweet, please, or do the next best thing and don’t refer to it at all.

it couldn’t have happened to a nicer fraudulent nonprofit
What makes it fraudulent?
all the fraud mostly, but check out this utterly normal shit
thinking Microsoft called and said “aight time for the grownups to have a little word”
edit: yep
I’m hoping for a protracted fight between the AI cultists and the technofascists while the world watches on and realizes the whole thing was a circus act the entire time
yeah, there’s some good potential
the first time around openai got to mass-scrape in peace because people didn’t really have an eye on how they were doing it. if you want to quickly make another company and restart, you need whole new datasets and whole new implementations (and possibly algos too - otherwise if it’s too GPT-y they could probably get sued)
I hope they continue at pace!

I mean, if they fired him, too bad
OpenAI’s current board consists of chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, former GeoSim Systems CEO Tasha McCauley, and Helen Toner, the director of strategy at Georgetown’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology. Unlike traditional companies, the board isn’t tasked with maximizing shareholder value, and none of them hold equity in OpenAI.
We’re not like, your traditional company. We do small plates.
Instead, their stated mission is to ensure the creation of “broadly beneficial” artificial general intelligence, or AGI.
Thought they were trying to melt the ice caps tbh.
Isn’t this just how every tech company starts out? Google just want to help you find things on the web. Facebook just wants you to help connect with friends. We are very serious people doing serious work for humanity and you need to listen to us, and possibly give us things for free. It’s all about positioning.
Oh for sure. Another way to think about that is: they actually are honestly and genuinely trying to help humanity with their inventions and so forth, except for them “humanity” is just the wallet of whoever is bankrolling them.
oh they can be 100% sincere about their humanitarian ideals. But investor RTO, need for revenue streams to cover expenses, general market forces - these will always outstrip and determine the final cause of a company. Ideals don’t matter, eventually, at most, PR in the service of expanding market share, intentionally or not.
Do they want him re-instated in the polycule, too? Will it be like that scene in Diamond Age?
what a shitshow. “he was lying but we want him back.” https://www.theinformation.com/articles/openai-optimistic-it-can-bring-back-sam-altman-greg-brockman
can anyone give me a pdf or pastebin or something of this? I’m not a fuck gonna pay those sub rates just to see this
the real misaligned AI already exists and starts with a C
so it seems all those people with millions in options and stock to lose were going full metal harassment to try save their baby: https://nitter.net/jacquesthibs/status/1727134087176204410
