How is this behind the curve? Seriously

I would imagine these folks are being treated like gods at their companies. And having access to all the money/fame. It is not surprising they see themselves above all

It’s hard to give openai the benefit of doubt here

Yea he only runs one of the biggest technology companies in the world.

I suppose they should. That seems like the right, or at least a related, discipline for some of the questions raised by ai developments. But i cannot help but feel completely unenthusiastic about the idea of the AI labs controlling the narrative around societal impact of AI.

Not sure i would trust coinbase with any cyrpto from now on.

I don’t get it. This whole thing says single writer does not scale, so we stopped writing as much and removed reads away from it, so it works ok and we decided that’s enough. I guess thats great.

Sometimes it is convenient that there are no backups. Just saying…

So sam was getting paid - possibly in egregious amounts while lying to congress?

AI has to be the solution to everything to justify the kind of investments going into it right now.

Sam’s a savvy businessman so he obviously understands that and goes few steps further. He promises exponential returns and addresses any regulatory and societal concerns. This piece is strategically crafted, not for us, but for investors.

Don’t think you will become as rich as musk, sam

100% agreed. If you read this piece from the lens of a SV executive or VC it makes perfect sense and serves the interests of all parties. Content? Who cares

What are you on about? They publish their research advancing the field. And gemini has caught up with openai and anybody else.

Financial rewards. Money.

Investors could not take the risk of disturbing the value of their investment.

It is that simple

Man. No wonder openai is nothing without its people

In this particular case of sharding a postgresql solution, in my opinion, the parent is right. Any major cloud provider would give companies of their scale assistance. This is their bread and butter. The posts likely hide the requirement of stay on aws, but we don’t know they did not talk about that. Likewise cockroach or yugabyte were also available options.

That’s wildly inaccurate. Musk regularly displays a much higher level of tech skills compared to most CEOs, with the exception of a few, like maybe Jensen. You may not like musk, but musks way above someone like altman in technical skills

OpenAI is nothing without its people!

Once again the house (the VCs) wins. I for one don’t trust openAI for one bit after this soap opera

The kind of pressure microsoft is able to exert here is mind blowing. The hero worshipping they were able to cultivate, with so much media pressure, they truly control our lives

They should not have expected the OpenAI staff to follow Ilya after Sams exit. Sam’s policies are a lot more lucrative for the openAI staff. The staff is acting in their own interest as well

The talent also goes wherever the money is

Obvious manipulation by microsoft. Its like 1999 again

They are obviously a duo that were pushing things together. But we will learn more over time.

Leetcode is not a good indicator of quality code by any means. It's basically a filter. If one can't solve these programming questions, there is a higher chance that they are not good at programming compared to one who can.

Would that include transactions for which the reads can query the whole database as opposed to a predetermined set of rows?

Exactly. Facebook strategy is always let's generalize the problem so that our competitors are also affected, this way we can dilute the discussion, change the narrative (and also end up doing nothing concrete).
