They need to dump their non-profit roots and lean into the fact that they could easily be the second greatest company in the history of companies. I say second because my new company, Awarity.ai, will be the greatest company of all companies:)

LOL. Looking forward to seeing it happen.
Agreed. What a freaking shitshow. Please, those who know who they are: resign and let OpenAI continue it’s momentum of being the second best company in the world

The fact that I’m able to make OpenAIs models more reliable at returning structured responses then OpenAI can is proof enough in my opinion

Well, everything is exponentially accelerating. 
No one know untill your self.
Nowadays, I have some reasons that make me hate Go… to the point of stopping using it. Believe me, the problem of changing CEOs may not make you think as much as I do.
interesting so if i understand you use promptrix to manage the prompt layout (im guessing this is to determine tokenage with a hard limit?) and then I would just pass my response from the comletion to the wave.completePrompt() and then the wave just feeds it back to the llm again?
It’ll be mine 
I’ll just make sure to install it in an MMORPG first. And then a 10 year old can go save the world when it goes haywire.

right but does it do that by feeding it back to the LLM or how does it know what the corrected response is
According to my Twitter Feed, it seems like pretty much everyone in the world just wants Sam Altman back, and doesn’t even know or care who the other board members are.
I hope the current board realizes how important a leader “Figurehead” is to a company like OpenAI. Getting rid of the lead guy is definitely not something to do on a whim, even if he messed up badly, and they definitely seem to have done it on a whim.
Imagine if back when Apple was at it’s peak, like when the first iPhone was launched, a couple of people just decided to get rid of Steve Jobs, because they felt more important than him, or has that leverage over him. That’s what this feels like to everyone in the world.
EDIT: And since AGI is like 1000x more important to humanity than some new phone, that makes this situation that much more dire.

People fall in love with those in power and are blinded to the facts at hand. OpenAI doesn’t need Altman and they’ve already promoted a temporary CEO for now. Altman is a young man and a very inexperienced leader, and it severely showed. It was only a matter of time, and the botched launch of GPTs was likely the nail in the coffin.
It’s nice to have cute, charming boys to look at during Dev Day 
but what’s more important in a CEO role is leadership experience and abilities, results, and aligned views. Moments like these make me happy that OpenAI’s board of directors don’t consist of average Twitter users.
You realize the interim CEO is younger than Altman, right? She’s 34, Altman is 38.
Also, OpenAI clearly is realizing they need him more than they thought he did, otherwise this whole fiasco wouldn’t be the fiasco it is now. I think they all just realized since Friday they do actually need him, because right now, it’s blowing up in their face. Big time.
Oh, and Sam is an extremely experienced leader if you look at his track record.

Time for another firing! Nah, but I do hope they’re able to pick the right people for the role. You do have a point, age isn’t directly relevant.

If they thought they needed him then they wouldn’t have fired him. And, not to be disrespectful to Altman, but he isn’t special. He doesn’t have some special talent that nobody else in the world does and OpenAI will be much better with a different CEO who more closely fits their needs. I’m sure Altman is very talented, but he is not the correct CEO for a company of this scale, as shown by the consistently rushed releases and constant outages.
I wouldn’t have thought Altman was the actual dev-ops guy doing the pushing of the buttons to do the deployments, etc. So outages, in that case, wouldn’t be directly his fault. I did think he was an LLM expert, and the one mainly responsible for making GPT-3&4 what it is (successful), because that’s what all marketing and publicity has led the public to believe.
But even if he were nothing but a figurehead for the public (which he’s not) that’s enough of a reason to keep him in place. If the dev-ops guys aren’t getting the job done, then you’d need to hire a middle-manager to correct that, and better dev-ops, and take that responsibility completely off Altman, so he can keep doing what he was originally doing in LLM innovation.
The larger point I was making was that, to the public, OpenAI and “Sam Altman” are essentially the same thing. And that market perception should be very important for the business, it seems to me.

I agree, it seemed like it was just an awkward way for them to make sure they were saying the right things for people to look back to later
I’m thrilled to hear that the board is considering bringing Sam back. I’d like to tell Sam that OpenAI just isn’t the same without him, much like it wouldn’t be the same without Ilya. Both of you are the soul of OpenAI.
Ilya’s actions, although radical at this time, clearly stem from a concern for the company and the future of AI development. You too need one or more heartfelt discussions, because it’s evident that there’s much more you agree on than disagree.
I’m really hoping for a reunion, for you to stand united once more and continue to work on creating safe AGI that benefits all of humanity.

I feel sad because I was complaining about the potential of AI being constantly watered down, becoming diluted beyond homeopathic levels. Anyone who has been using ChatGPT-3.5 knows what I’m talking about.
I don’t know much about it yet, and maybe many analysts have already been able to understand the implications of this situation. But it seems certain that those who want more safety and less access for the non-academic community are the ones who pulled the trigger.
I will probably never know how to do my laundry now that they are going to remove the laundry buddy…
No but seriously the concerns raised in this discussion, make me also feel the weight of potential restrictions that may further dilute the AI we’ve come to value. It’s a sentiment that’s been voiced by many of us, and rightly so—where is the line between safeguarding and stifling innovation?
The conversation about management strategies, especially as we inch closer to AGI, is not just theoretical. Could we see a future where, as humorously suggested, an AI Supreme Agent decides our fate? This rhetorical question isn’t far from the strategic musings some of you have shared.
While I don’t claim to have insider knowledge, the musings around Sam Altman’s leadership resonate with me. It seems his path isn’t one of not meeting goals, but perhaps exceeding them in ways not yet fully appreciated. This aligns with a narrative some of you have hinted at—there’s more than meets the eye in the unfolding story of OpenAI.
The sentiment of being the last to know, which several of you have expressed, also rings true for me. The notion that even their partners like Microsoft might be just one step ahead in the information chain is disconcerting. It’s a dance of disclosure that leaves us, the users and possibly even key investors, waiting in the wings.
And so, I’m left to wonder, as some of you have, about the path they expect to follow to get to AGI… Without the compute that Sam has been able to get from Microsoft they would not be already going so far I think that there are some things that even the most aware analyst doesn’t know about this unfolding situation…
At least ChatGPT is still able to help me correct my writing the original version is in the edit history!
As for the dark and the shadows that appear to be on everyone mind… I have refrained myself from writing it because I think it would not help the conversation but it would not helped me sleep better if I did not mention it but it does make sense to me that they should rebrand their company OpaqueAI ok I will be able to sleep better now that I got that rant out of my mind…
