Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process [by the board]
“god, he’s really cost us… how much can we get back?”
which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board
not only with the board, kids
hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities
you and me both, brother

If the end result of appointing an hpmor cultist is that they slow the hype cycle I guess it will be good but I suspect this will end with the rest of us crying “a plague o’ both their houses!”, worms’ meat in the Verona streets, before the AGI lovers and the AGI panickers hilariously die in the hypothetical crypt, leaving the tech industry burning behind them like the backdrop of a Shakespearean gang war.
That metaphor got away from me but in my defense I have a fever.
Considering both sides don’t care about consent (assuming the Altman allegations are real, and even if they aren’t see the GPT training data (different type of consent but still)) it will not be good.
Get well soon.
My own speculations started with the kinds of perfectly reasonable, cynical things a perfectly reasonable, cynical board might concern themselves with before throwing the CEO to the wolves (they’re lighting money on fire too much faster than money is coming in; one of the lawsuits isn’t looking good, there’s been a horrific security incident, etc.), and ended with “but of course, this is 2023 big tech, it might also be robot cult schismatics.”
-sigh- But here we are, I guess.
Get well soon!
Ow god… what have I done, I 'The Secret’ed this.
