On the other hand, Summers did lend his credibility to the crypto scam DCG and helped lay the groundwork for the 2008 financial crisis. He gets in over his head sometimes.

Tiku edited for Valleywag 2013-14 then left. I wouldn't blindly discredit her reporting barring specific complaints.

I'd still find the added context insightful. They went to the board alleging psychological abuse, so I assume they understood the board would at least consider removing Sam.

I wonder if those same senior employees signed the letter. If the WaPo could verify that, that could clarify whether peer pressure extended beyond Ilya.

> After being contacted by Reuters, OpenAI, which declined to comment, acknowledged in an internal message to staffers a project called Q* and a letter to the board before the weekend's events, one of the people said. Reuters update

The article suggests the way Q* solves basic math problems matters more than the difficulty of the problems themselves. Either way, I think judging the claims made remains premature without seeing the supporting documentation.

His claim to fame comes from scaling FB. Quora shows he has questionable product nous, but nobody questions his technical chops.

He has his network and technical credibility, so I wouldn't underestimate him. Board composition remains hard to predict now.

Sounds like speculation again from Sam's camp, honestly. Hard to judge without knowing which way the new board members lean.

Vague disparaging remarks, fine. Specific allegations, not so much.

If he survived to this point, I doubt he will go any time soon.

Conditioned on the outcome of the internal investigation, which seems up for grabs.

I suspect the board prioritized legal exposure first and foremost. They made the mistake of not hiring a legal or PR firm to handle the dismissal.

The paper reads a lot more nuanced than that. It compares the "system card" released with GPT-4 to the delay of Claude and the merits of each approach vis a vis safety.

I see. Pursuing AGI sounds distinct from commercializing future versions of ChatGPT based on OpenAI IP. I imagine the exact legal wording in the contract makes all the difference. The WSJ article from June he cited indicates the license sti

I meant, can you link the claim that the clause in question got removed?
