Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Posting this as a follow up to my last post: Sam Altman's sister, Annie Altman, claims Sam has severely abused her.

Don't know the real reason he's been fired, but good riddance.

There was another discussion in /c/TechTakes@awful.systems

I personally think Sam is basically just a fall guy. From the YC comments someone commented

Another source [1] claims: "A knowledgeable source said the board struggle reflected a cultural clash at the organization, with Altman and Brockman focused on commercialization and Sutskever and his allies focused on the original non-profit mission of OpenAI."

OpenAI is back!
