In hindsight; something had to give. A non-profit dedicated to beneficial AI for humanity, running a for-profit SV style startup, spitting out products, moving fast and occasionally breaking things. Not a stable bond.

My optimistic take: this will make OpenAI actually open. Opening up access to their models and leaving the building of marketable apps to startups. My pessimistic take: this will slow down OpenAI and not change the current approach to gen ai, which is big corp consolidation.

Sequoia investing in SBF is the biggest failure of pattern matching I’ve seen.
Why are they focusing on the architecture? Twitter’s problem wasn’t scale or stability.

People are either in the camp of Elon Twitter being the best thing to have ever happened, or convinced that Elon will break Twitter forever. Neither is true. Twitter isn’t going anywhere. It also isn’t going to be more world changing than it already was.

This is true. And breakthroughs in AI are coming more and more often.
I am as reflexively negative on hype as you can get, but it is very mistaken to think this AI boom is hot air.

People have a tendency to overestimate rate of change in the short term and underestimate rate of change in the longer term.
