According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati told employees on Wednesday that a letter about the AI breakthrough called Q* (pronounced Q-Star), precipitated the board's actions.

The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q*, which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup's search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.

AI is the new crypto. So you have ML bros who are clueless mouth breathers invading all of the original subs.

I've been in this game for almost 12 years, I've never been more popular, but I hate that it's for this reason. I was listening to a talk the other day and the speaker really said something that resonated with me - Let's make ML uncool again. I feel like I just want to unclutter the airways

This is the exact type of regarded comment that crypto trading bros bring to the discussions that I really enjoy.
