Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I’m not sure about if this is good or bad - we have very little info on why he was ousted in the first place.

"good or bad"? there is no good here. good would be when openai finally closes down. anything else is still just a shitty option from many shitty options.

Either way it's a circus of incompetence.

It certainly looks like more of the same. Maybe the negative publicity on EA is a silver lining.

Yeah, there likely wouldn’t be much of a difference in badness if Altman went to MS vs. getting rehired at OAI. EA owns are at least a decent dopamine factory

See the tagline
