      I really don’t get the employee position. They want to work at Microsoft? Literally the opposite of everything _open_ai claimed to stand for?

      What a joke this whole “non-profit” owning “for-profit” structure turned out to be. For profit structure is like a virus and we see again and again it doesn’t integrate with other systems.

        Altman and Brockman were the founding leadership of the company/organization and many of these employees are “rockstar” researchers. They wanted to be a part of what they were leading — so it makes sense they still would even if it’s under Microsoft.

        If OpenAI doesn’t have stable, rational and deliberative leadership, none of what they claim to stand for matters. The board did an end-run around the chair and summarily fired Altman Friday afternoon without consulting with any other stakeholders beforehand. They still haven’t offered a coherent explanation for why they did what they did.

          There’s no “other stakeholders” tho. It’s a non profit board with a profit capped company that they control. The whole goal of the structure was to resist monetary capture and yet here we are

            A stakeholder is something different than a stockholder. A stakeholder could be an employee, investor, customer, someone selling equipment to them or even the community they work in.

            Basically anyone who’s affected by their actions.

          Their products sure don’t seem to be anything other than steaming piles of shit. Seems like a distinction without a difference.

          Do you mean internally? Because in terms of doing exactly what the worst possible thing is for people, they’re a giant, steaming, fly ridden pile of shit

          In what way? Their product lineup is the worst it’s ever been expect maybe xbox, especially software like windows and office. Even Xbox is loosing to Sony and Nintendo despite being a decent product.

          In the windows 98-7 era I was die hard. It was a pretty good OS. By modern standards, it’s just awful. Mac and Linux for me.
