@cgaxana Ευχαριστώ για τα καλά σας λόγια, αλλά ο ρόλος μου στην Capacitor είναι υπέρ αρκετός . Αν μπορώ να συνεισφέρω στην χώρα μου είμαι πάντα στην διάθεση της. Ναι το δημόσιο σύστημα θέλει δουλειά, παράλληλα ό��ως ο υφυπουργός καινοτ. είναι αξιόλογος επαγγελματίας και αναμένω βελτιώσεις

Amid rising costs and security concerns, enterprises are moving data from public to in-house solutions, prioritizing operational control and regulatory compliance. This strategic pivot, signifies a re-evaluation of IT infrastructure.

In 2011 this guy was selling phone systems to dental practices and 9 years later had grown it into a BILLION dollar business.

But he didn't even get an invite to the company's IPO...

This the crazy story of Weave:

@ChatGPTapp @OpenAI @tszzl @emollick @voooooogel Wild result. gpt-4-turbo over the API produces (statistically significant) shorter completions when it "thinks" its December vs. when it thinks its May (as determined by the date in the system prompt).

I took the same exact prompt over the API (a code completion task asking to implement a machine learning task without libraries).

I created two system prompts, one that told the API it was May and another that it was December and then compared the distributions.

For the May system prompt, mean = 4298
For the December system prompt, mean = 4086

N = 477 completions in each sample from May and December

t-test p < 2.28e-07

To reproduce this you can just vary the date number in the system message. Would love to see if this reproduces for others.

I gave a talk about startups to 14 and 15 year olds, and their questions afterward were better than I get at top universities. I puzzled over this, then realized why. Their questions were motivated by genuine curiosity, rather than to make some kind of comment or to seem smart.

Meet OpenAI's new board of directors

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Unexpected advantage of appointing board members who already have significant achievements: being on your board is not the main source of their importance, so they won't tend to cling to their seats even when it's obviously time to leave.

[Michael Tyrimos @MichaelTyrimos]

This is getting too exciting. Apple TV is probably screen writing this into a new docuseries. #OpenAI

[Rowan Cheung @rowancheung]

🚨 NEW UPDATE:

The staff at OpenAI set a 5PM deadline for the entire board to resign, or else they quit and join Sam in his new company.

It's currently 1 hour past that deadline.

More updates coming soon...

[Varun @varun_mathur]

Dear Mira and Ilya - congratulations on your coup at OpenAI. Since both of you have together never raised a penny as entrepreneurs, let me explain what happens.

Oh, and you *will* need to raise since your venture’s unit economics don’t make sense. Remember, you pay $0.30 every time someone asks a doofus question to ChatGPT. Heck, I sometimes ask the same thing 5 times.

Also, the last deal at $80 billion valuation - is as dead as the Egyptian pharaohs. Glorious to write about and visualize. But super dead, under the sand, not coming back.

Not only that - but you sideswiped your biggest partner, Microsoft. Of course publicly they will say the right thing, but you know and they know it and a random fellow like me knows it - they must be seething mad about it.

Few of your top researchers have already quit, and if there is one thing Sam Altman is especially good at, it is raising and deploying capital. Before the sign with your name and title as “CEO” and “Defacto CEO” gets emblazoned in the OpenAI offices, Sam would have a new company, $1 billion investment and offers out to all your, soon to be ex, top product people and researchers.

So you head into next week having lost your top dealmaker, top researchers, top product visionary, top partner and top investor, and with a business which has terrible unit economics.

And let’s not forget - the two of you are not entrepreneurs. Most people in your board have never held a proper tech job ever. You have never had to face the abject rejection which follows from pitching many investors, going through the process, and getting to close. Getting to close is the toughest. Sometimes investors say yes, but they don’t actually mean it. Sometimes they even sign, and still don’t wire the funds. You will need to live through all of it, the pain and rejection, and feel intense amount of pressure of having to provide for your team members - who pays their mortgages, car loans, kids school tuition - the ones whom you played with at the last company picnic.

After you are exhausted with the realities of the market - you will sell out OpenAI to Microsoft entirely, and be housed as Global Principal Product Managers in building 4 in Seattle, where it rains non-stop. Microsoft will never fire you, Satya will always say the right thing about you - because he is an honorable person.

But deep down in your heart, as you are watching the Netflix movie on OpenAI and Joseph-Gordon Levitt’s wife plays herself as a board member who fired Sam Altman over Google Meet, you will think and realize that you had it all - you could have been at the helm of a $1 trillion company. History will forget you. Sam and Greg and everyone else would have moved on and forgotten about you. e/acc would have built out fundamental OpenAI alternatives in anycase..

[Michael Tyrimos @MichaelTyrimos]

Looks like it’s Open AI’s board that will need to be resigning very soon. @sama @OpenAI
