OpenAI, a non-profit AI company that will lose anywhere from $4 billion to $5 billion this year, will at some point in the next six or so months convert into a for-profit AI company, at which point it will continue to lose money in exactly the same way. Shortly after this news broke, Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati resigned, followed by Chief Research Officer Bob McGrew and VP of Research, Post Training Barret Zoph, leaving OpenAI with exactly three of its eleven cofounders remaining.

This coincides suspiciously with OpenAI’s increasingly-absurd fundraising efforts, where (as I predicted in late July) OpenAI has raised the largest venture-backed fundraise of all time $6.6 billion— at a valuation of $157 billion.

    there’s no real universal example. you need to show them that it is wrong about something you know they know, to avoid the Gell-Mann amnesia effect.

    I say this from experience. unfortunately some people are just average and have interests that are entirely subjective, like makeup trends or alternative medicine, and the effect that "always check the sources"has on those people is to make them distrust every source since nothing agrees with anything else on those topics.
