tldr: Sama stepped down,

No, he was fired.

Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

That's as close to "he lied to us so we fired his ass" as you're ever going to hear from a corporate board.

He is the one who pushed for the crippling censoring “alignment”

not even an hour , and mira's wiki page is already updated. this is wild

I think this is overall negative, i get the sense that there is a glass ceiling....

Sounds like he LIED to the board and the kicked him off. What did he lie about? Did they crack AGI, or is the board upset that Altman appears to be pro-regulation?

[–] Monkey_1505@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My guess is some kind of exploit, feature or flaw that he knew about with potential PR impacts, that he didn't tell them. Something akin to knowing Bing would go Sydney.

Sounds like he LIED to the board and the kicked him off.

That's my take, too.

It seems he told them things that sounded really good, but weren't actually true.

A bit like LLM inference, that.

Probably not a good sign. Investors probably want someone who is more conventional and mainstream, to drive more profit.

[–] PMMeYourWorstThought@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They going to make it open again? They forgot their mission.,

[–] AwayConsideration855@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They will open the capped profit.

[–] superbottom85@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We’ll see about this.

[–] Utoko@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No the opposite, only Ilya Sutskever is left from the founders on the board since Greg Brockman quit too. It will be more closed up and profit oriented to keep AI "safe".

[–] nhbis0n@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Did the AI coordinate his sacking?

[–] Postorganic666@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like a more pro-government guy is taking the seat. More restrictions, more surveillance, censorship, more misuse of personal data, manipulation and propaganda. Hopefully alternatives to gpt 4 will see the light of day soon

[–] Papalui@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

good news, if openai really opens up

[–] Utoko@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What gives you that expression, looks like completely the opposite. Now only Ilya left on the board, Greg Brockman quit too. It looks more and more like a normal corporate board.

[–] superbottom85@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Probably the opposite will happen.

[–] MeMyself_And_Whateva@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The founder is thrown out of the company when new investors gain control. That's life.

[–] thereisonlythedance@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This will be about AI safety.

[–] herozorro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The irony now is that Grok will have the latest info on this as people are tweeting about it

[–] Ilforte@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Look at the board members. It's Open Philanthropy/Effective Altruism coup to prevent AI progress, not these mundane concerns like accounting.

[–] Only-Letterhead-3411@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

RIP OpenAI.

[–] Maykey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hope openai becomes more open under new leadership, but I am not holding my breath

[–] MannowLawn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe they will be a bit more reasonable with their content filtering, some the shit you see now is ridiculous.

The competition for running locally is catching up to gpt. I’m happy to pay for everything but openai is so restricted these days, you’re better off with running something locally.
