95% of OpenAI employees have threatened to quit in standoff with board::OpenAI’s future hangs in the balance as staff says they’ll join former CEO at Microsoft.
Do it! Do it you bootlickers!!! I’d have way more sympathy if this was over a union fight but this is just cult behavior and is really creepy - for the love of God I hope they do it - I wanna see this implode in on itself
Do or don’t, Microsoft still win anyway. WinGPT incoming…
Of course it is, that was always the case. Anyone that genuinely believed there was any non-profit, humanitarian, risk-averse future for this technology was drinking copious amounts of Kool aid.
These things have been designed, from day 1, with the explicit purpose of killing labor and making a lot of people richer. This was never, ever, a tool for the common man.
AI is the capitalist equivalent of a Death Star. Now that they have it, what the hell else do you think was going to happen?
So? No matter who owns it it’s still a massive invasion of privacy at the minimum - at least look on it as the shit show it is
I don’t see the existence or use of GPT to be a “massive invasion of privacy” — although I agree that the chat logs can be very personal.
What aspects are you concerned about?
Microsoft and Google literally take any personal files you have stored on one drive or Google drive and use it to train their models - I’d say that’s a massive invasion of privacy
Google’s privacy policy states this is only true for public documents: “use publicly available information to help train Google’s AI models and build products and features like Google Translate, Bard, and Cloud AI capabilities”.
That seems different from your claim.
- Microsoft partnership with OpenAI
- Microsoft hires brain of OpenAI
- OpenAI employees threaten to quit - and then do
- OpenAI value tumbles
- Microsoft buys open AI for the IP
- The Board gets a sweet golden parachute from the buyout despite tanking the company.
They only give a damn about their RSUs/stock options. Altman is a profiteer who will make them more money.
I’m pretty ignorant about all this, but this type of loyalty to one guy feels very cult-like. Do the employees actually think this guy gives a shit about them?
Also, the rumours say that the board wants a careful approach while Altman wants to blast ahead without ethical concerns. I’m definitely not on his side
Employees are joining in the coup in the hope of joining Microsoft. I wonder if Microsoft is gonna pull a rug on them and only hire the key employees in the pack and ditch the rest of them
They’ve already been guaranteed spots at Microsoft, by Microsoft. There’s no need for them to pull some 4D chess move.
Their services have been very sporadically available all day. So much so that I’m asking for a pro-rated refund.
Tbh I just ended up using the snapchat Ai and it helped me with what I needed.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The future of OpenAI remained uncertain on Tuesday after extraordinary efforts by employees and investors to oust the board had so far failed to persuade its directors to resign and reinstate co-founder Sam Altman.
People with direct knowledge of the matter said that by the end of Monday, 747 out of 770 OpenAI employees had signed a letter threatening to quit and join Microsoft if the board refused to resign and reverse their decision on Friday to sack Altman.
Venture capitalists backing the generative artificial intelligence start-up were also exploring legal measures to force the board to reverse course, according to multiple people with knowledge of their thinking.
Ilya Sutskever, the last remaining co-founder on the board and OpenAI’s chief scientist, signed the letter from staff after apologizing on social media for his role in firing Altman.
In a social media post on Monday, Marc Benioff, chief executive of software company Salesforce, asked OpenAI researchers to send him their CVs and offered to match their salaries.
Altman has a nuclear fission venture and a cryptocurrency project and has sought to start a device company and a chip business, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

They’ll just replace their employees with Ai…
95% of OpenAI employees have openly shown support for a pedo rapist.
ftfy
Elaborate.
This isn’t news. Google Annie Altman.
No you
Claims like that need to be verified before we start with the vilification thank you very much.
If it’s true then it needs to be proven in court. Random public opinion isn’t useful or helpful and shouldn’t be acted on.
