i think he had his moment here with the 1975 Helsinki accord. That one is often overlooked, but it gave dissidents in communist countries a basis to press their case, where their own government signed a document that on paper obliged them to respect human rights.
> A correction was made on Nov. 22, 2023 : An earlier version of this article misstated the status of Carl Erik Rinsch’s series when Netflix bought the rights to it. There was a script, but it was not complete."
'is not complete' can mean many things.
Also Netflix initially planned more than one season, but then they backtracked when the script was extending beyond the first season - there seems to be a gap in the narrative of the article.
> Netflix gave Mr. Rinsch final cut, a privilege it had previously bestowed on only a few directors. And it assured Mr. Rinsch and Ms. Rosés that they would remain “locked for life” to all subsequent seasons and spinoffs
vs
> Mr. Rinsch had missed several production milestones and was toggling between two versions of the script, a shorter one that matched the original 13-episode plan and one twice as long that would have required greenlighting a second season.
Also 'missed several production milestones' is a bit vague. That year we had Corona, which would naturally lead to some sort of delays.
I made a small interpreted language on top of nodejs, for the same customers. https://github.com/MoserMichael/jscriptparse
However it turns out that you can't draw too much with node, so I didn't manage to add turtle graphics.
Is that right?
Don't know if Altman or Sutskever is right, there seems to be a kind of arms race between the companies. OpenAI may be past the point where they can try out a radically different system, due to competition in the space. Maybe trying out new approaches could only work in a new company, who knows?
> why was sam altman fired from openai?
Sam Altman, the co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, was fired on November 17, 2023, after the company's board determined that he had not been consistently candid in his communications with them. The company did not provide specific details about Altman's alleged lack of candor, but it said that his actions had "hindered the board's ability to exercise its responsibilities."
Altman's departure from OpenAI came as a surprise to many in the tech industry, given the company's recent success under his leadership. OpenAI had developed several groundbreaking AI technologies, including the popular ChatGPT chatbot, and Altman had been a vocal advocate for the responsible development of AI.
In a statement released shortly after his firing, Altman said that he respected the board's decision and that he was proud of his time at OpenAI. He also said that he was looking forward to new opportunities in the future.
The reasons for Altman's firing remain somewhat unclear, but it is likely that his lack of candor with the board was a serious breach of trust. The board's decision to remove him as CEO suggests that they believed that he was no longer the right person to lead the company.
Altman's firing is a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in corporate leadership. CEOs have a responsibility to be open and honest with their boards, and they must be held accountable for their actions.
> could chatgtp have fired sam altman?
No, ChatGPT could not have fired Sam Altman. ChatGPT is a large language model, and it is not capable of taking actions in the real world such as firing someone. Only the board of directors of OpenAI had the authority to fire Altman.
It is possible that ChatGPT could have been used to generate evidence that was used to fire Altman. For example, if Altman had been using ChatGPT to communicate with the board, the board could have analyzed those communications to look for evidence of dishonesty. However, even in this case, ChatGPT would not have been the one making the decision to fire Altman. The decision would have ultimately been made by the board of directors.
How is it that an LLM can react to meta prompts like 'be brief' or 'Ensure responses are unique and without repetition' ?
Lots of people have less of that ALDH2 gene, so a much smaller dose will be enough to get them drunk.
Don't worry, these sites probably moved to some other location - after all a website only exists while the owner has a stake in it (and is paying for that dns record + hosting/traffic)

Did i fail to mention anyone?
... Interesting that they don't have a wiki page for deleted ccTLDs.
Actually it's interesting that google didn't choose any of these, for their high bandwidth storage needs. They have the money to do their own thing, but why should they?
But there is no way to check if that is true, reminds me of Robopsychology...
[1] Google Bard: "Yes, I do have a system prompt. It is the text that appears in the text box when you first open the Bard interface. The system prompt is designed to help you get started by providing you with some examples of the kinds of things you can ask me to do.
Here is the current system prompt:
Hi! I'm Bard, a large language model from Google AI. I can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. I am still under development, but I have learned to perform many kinds of tasks, including
I will try my best to follow your instructions and complete your requests thoughtfully.
I will use my knowledge to answer your questions in a comprehensive and informative way, even if they are open ended, challenging, or strange.
I will generate different creative text formats of text content, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. I will try my best to fulfill all your requirements.
You can change the system prompt to anything you want. This can be helpful if you want to customize Bard for a specific task or audience.
To change the system prompt, simply type the new prompt into the text box and press enter. The new prompt will be saved and used the next time you open the Bard interface."

Now in the plot "the robots revolt and cause the extinction of the human race".
Also there is his older brother, the Golem. He has his own movie from 1915.
Look at 'boring' php, facebook was using this language at scale, so they had to develop a just in time compiler for the whole thing. Python didn't have that problem, so it still doesn't have a just in time compiler (for the default interpreter)
Also look at all the changes and action in the JDK (ever since JDK11). Is that also boring?
