Wow this is the biggest show of dick ridership I have probably ever seen. Why do they want this CEO to be at the helm so badly?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

…it’s not just about Altman. They fired him without proof and then fired the interim CEO, along with the reasons in the document

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Except now they gave the ultimatum to vacate the entire board and reinstate altman or they leave and go to altman at microsoft anyways. In any case, the main goal is that they want to be led by this guy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not necessarily. Microsoft has guaranteed spots and they feel like OpenAI is a sinking ship.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

It was beforehand. I'm sure Altman saw as much and wanted to make major spending/funding changes that the board felt was not aligned with what they wanted. The financials on what they're doing look like shit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What's your source that he is a felon? Can't find anything about that at all.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Did he edit his comment? The current version doesn't accuse Altman of any felony

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (6 children)

Yeah, you can see that it's been edited. There's a little pencil that appears.

Edit: like this

If you check the 'nerd stuff', it shows it was posted at 15:13, and updated at 15:16. But there isn't a UI element to show that at a glance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Hrmm, I'm on connect and I don't get a little pencil 🙁. That would be nice to have

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Weird, I see your comment as edited (and it tells me how long ago) but not the comment further up

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Here's what it looks like default web interface

Hm, it didn't seem to federate to kbin.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

On kbin we don't see edit indicators. You'd have to hit "more" and view on original instance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Which is weird because we have our own edit indicators. Maybe a future enhancement on the federation side of things.

Ah: "Yes I editted it within the first like 3 minutes of posting…" maybe kbin doesn't count that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

We do see them, @half_built_pyramids edited his comment by way of example and I see it indicated. I'm guessing that we don't see that for the first comment because perhaps the original comment didn't federate to us until after the edit did, for some reason?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It federates, but the original comment doesn't seem to have been edited...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yeah I meant the fact that it was edited didn't federate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I see it in Thunder.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Yes I editted it within the first like 3 minutes of posting... I had remembered reading that and after checking, deleted when i didnt see anything on it..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well good on you for checking yourself. I've been hearing rumors the last few days but nothing concrete

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Indeed. I'm so tired of coming to "technology" forums and instead of seeing discussion of technology it's just a bunch of "person involved in technology is a vegetable molester" and so forth.

Though I suppose this particular topic is inextricably tied up in personality issues right now, so I shouldn't complain too hard on this one.
