I'm leaving OpenAI after over 2 years of wild ride.

Alongside @barret_zoph, @LiamFedus, @johnschulman2, and many others I got to build a “low key research preview” product that became ChatGPT. While we were all excited to work on it, none of us expected it to be where it is today, 100s of millions of users in a historically short amount of time. It was truly a privilege to witness its growth.

I learned so much through the process. Thank you so much @sama, @gdb, @miramurati, @ilyasut, @bobmcgrewai for giving us a chance. OpenAI is a special place.

Now, onto new things!

if only the article addressed this precise point and its relevance

everyone, we have a new worst poster

THE ONLY REWARD IS HAVING WRITTEN SOMETHING

THAT'S IT THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT

well we're talking about data across a company. Tho apparently it does send stuff back to MS as well, because of course it does.

look, i think it's up to all of us to have the imagination and foresight to support roko in this fabulous and important endeavour. we could lure patri friedman onto the same ice floe, for example, by the simple expedient of putting up a yellow and black flag with "no steppy on snek"

oh, and these twenty comedians were using LLMs for writing already. They didn't want their names revealed, for some reason.

i'll have you know all our sneers are posted artisanally

even the Orange Site hates this fucking guy https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40133976

edit: except dang himself, who posts a multi-paragraph comment complaining about the title then edits it to admit he didn't actually read the article. Presumably this is the style of comment desired at HN going forward.

the short answer: this sort of nerd loves signifiers but loathes depth
