Wow this is the biggest show of dick ridership I have probably ever seen. Why do they want this CEO to be at the helm so badly?

…it’s not just about Altman. They fired him without proof and then fired the interim CEO, along with the reasons in the document

Except now they gave the ultimatum to vacate the entire board and reinstate altman or they leave and go to altman at microsoft anyways. In any case, the main goal is that they want to be led by this guy.

Not necessarily. Microsoft has guaranteed spots and they feel like OpenAI is a sinking ship.

It was beforehand. I'm sure Altman saw as much and wanted to make major spending/funding changes that the board felt was not aligned with what they wanted. The financials on what they're doing look like shit.

What's your source that he is a felon? Can't find anything about that at all.

Did he edit his comment? The current version doesn't accuse Altman of any felony

Yeah, you can see that it's been edited. There's a little pencil that appears.

Edit: like this

Not on Liftoff for Android.

If you check the 'nerd stuff', it shows it was posted at 15:13, and updated at 15:16. But there isn't a UI element to show that at a glance.

Hm, it didn't seem to federate to kbin.

On kbin we don't see edit indicators. You'd have to hit "more" and view on original instance.

Which is weird because we have our own edit indicators. Maybe a future enhancement on the federation side of things.

Ah: "Yes I editted it within the first like 3 minutes of posting…" maybe kbin doesn't count that.

We do see them, @half_built_pyramids edited his comment by way of example and I see it indicated. I'm guessing that we don't see that for the first comment because perhaps the original comment didn't federate to us until after the edit did, for some reason?

It federates, but the original comment doesn't seem to have been edited...

Yes I editted it within the first like 3 minutes of posting... I had remembered reading that and after checking, deleted when i didnt see anything on it..

Well good on you for checking yourself. I've been hearing rumors the last few days but nothing concrete

Indeed. I'm so tired of coming to "technology" forums and instead of seeing discussion of technology it's just a bunch of "person involved in technology is a vegetable molester" and so forth.

Though I suppose this particular topic is inextricably tied up in personality issues right now, so I shouldn't complain too hard on this one.
