We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.

We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

Seems like the person running the simulation had enough and loaded the earlier quicksave.

      Do you have any additional info about the changes they’re making to the mission? I didn’t see that in the article

        There’s been no talk of anything changing. Just different people in charge of deciding how to get to the goal which is to create safe state of the art AI tech that will benefit all of humanity.

        It could take centuries to get there and cost trillions of dollars, figuring out how to raise that money is where things get controversial.

          Whether OpenAI will be able to resist all the meddling from politics and greedy businesses till they satisfy those goals is also a huge question.

            No need. Politics, businesses, war planners, don’t need OpenAI, they can build (have been building) their own AIs to follow their own goals. Now that OpenAI has shown how far one can get, the genie is out of the bottle. In a sense, OpenAI has already failed its goal.

              Actually, everybody is trying and failing to reach the quality of ChatGPT so far because OpenAI doesn’t release the details. Add to that websites like Reddit and Xwitter, the source of the training data for AIs, have started charging money for that. The governments are also starting to obstruct AI advancement.
