Comment on OpenAI was working on advanced model so powerful it alarmed staff
FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world 7 months agoThe whole thing sounds like some cockamamie plot derived from chatgpt itself. Corporate America is completely detached from the real world.

That’s exactly what it is. A ploy for free attention an be it’s working.

It’s an appealing ‘conspiracy’ angle, but that idea doesn’t hold up to any real scrutiny whatsoever.
Why would the Board willingly trash their reputation? Why would they drag the former Twitch CEO through the mud and make him look weak and powerless? Why would they not warn Microsoft and risk damaging that relationship? Why would they let MS strike a tentative agreement with the OpenAI employees that upsets their own staff, only to then undo it?
None of that makes any sense whatsoever from a strategic, corporate “planned” perspective. They are all actions of people who are reacting to things in the heat of the moment and are panicking because they don’t know how it will end.

What reputation?
Why would they care about that?
Microsoft has put their entire sack in OpenAI’s purse. They could literally do or say anything to Microsoft.
Are you telling me you really think it’s outlandish to think the same people who push a glorified nested ‘if’ statement as AI would do what it said to do? Those people are goofy, if they thought they were being given a convoluted real life quest by a digital DM they’d be all about it.

Why would they want attention not a publicly traded company?

What’s that got to do with anything? They sell a thing, they want the thing to sell more.

I think pretty much the entire world knows about chat GPT so clearly advertising isn’t an issue for them. Firing your CEO is not really a good look unless you’ve got a very very good reason in which case you should announce it.
