Altman downplayed the major shakeup.

"Leadership changes are a natural part of companies

Is he just trying to tell us he is next?

unironically, he ought to be next, and he better know it, and he better go quietly

The ceo at my company said that 3 years ago, we are going through execs like I go through amlodipine.

They always are and they know it.

Doesn’t matter at that level it’s all part of the game.

We need a scapegoat in place when the AI bubble pops, the guy is applying for the job and is a perfect fit.

He is happy to be scapegoat as long as exit with a ton of money.

Just making structural changes sound like “changing the leader”.

Sam: “Most of our execs have left. So I guess I’ll take the major decisions instead. And since I’m so humble, I’ll only be taking 80% of their salary. Yeah, no need to thank me”

You know guys, I’m starting to think what we heard about Altman when he was removed a while ago might actually have been real.

I wonder if all those people who supported him like the taste of their feet.

There’s an alternate timeline where the non-profit side of the company won, Altman the Conman was booted and exposed, and OpenAI kept developing machine learning in a way that actually benefits actual use cases.

Cancer screenings approved by a doctor could be accurate enough to save so many lives and so much suffering through early detection.

Instead, Altman turned a promising technology into a meme stock with a product released too early to ever fix properly.

What is OpenAI doing with cancer screening?

AI models can outmatch most oncologists and radiologists in recognition of early tumor stages in MRI and CT scans.
Further developing this strength could lead to earlier diagnosis with less-invasive methods saving not only countless live and prolonging the remaining quality life time for the individual but also save a shit ton of money.

That is a different kind of machine learning model, though.

You can’t just plug in your pathology images into their multimodal generative models, and expect it to pop out something usable.

And those image recognition models aren’t something OpenAI is currently working on, iirc.

Wasn’t it proven that AI was having amazing results, because it noticed the cancer screens had doctors signature at the bottom? Or did they make another run with signatures hidden?

No, there isn’t really any such alternate timeline. Good honest causes are not profitable enough to survive against the startup scams. Even if the non-profit side won internally, OpenAI would just be left behind, funding would go to its competitors, and OpenAI would shut down. Unless you mean a radically different alternate timeline where our economic system is fundamentally different.

I mean wikipedia managed to do it. It just requires honest people to retain control long enough. I think it was allowed to happen in wikipedia’s case because the wealthiest/greediest people hadn’t caught on to the potential yet.

There’s probably an alternate timeline where wikipedia is a social network with paid verification by corporate interests who write articles about their own companies and state-funded accounts spreading conspiracy theories.

There are infinite timelines, so, it has to exist some(wehere/when/[insert w word for additional dimension]).

I’d look forward to it more if we could stop the AI at that point.
