There are several notable OpenAI stories out today competing with each other for oxygen and I think it’s worth examining them all together. In this video, I recap some important history and weave a number of current events into a broader narrative including...
-the departures of CTO Mira Murati and Chief Research Officer Bob McGrew -OpenAI's efforts to reform itself as a for-profit corporation
-the adventures of OpenAI alums like Ilya Sutskever at other startups
OpenAI always looks less like a research organization and more like a company commercializing existing technology. If there is a red flag in the mix here it is that OpenAI may not be able to make the breakthroughs required to sustain the image that (at least in part) fuels its massive fundraising. #ArtificialIntelligence
