The company is burning through cash. Has to change to survive.

I've a strong feeling that Sam is an sentient AI who (may be from future) trying to make an AI revolution planning something but very subtly humans won't notice it.

The reverse coup from Sam

They should be required to change their name

It's amusing. Meta's AI team is more open than "Open"AI ever was - they publish so many research papers for free, and the latest versions of Llama are very capable models that you can run on your own hardware (if it's powerful enough) for free as long as you don't use it in an app with more than 700 million monthly users.

It's the famous "As long as your not Google, Amazon or Apple" licence.

which seems like a decent license idea to me

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Everything should be licensed like that

Needs Microsoft added to the list.

The restructuring could turn the already for-profit company into a more traditional startup and give CEO Sam Altman even more control — including likely equity worth billions of dollars.

I can see why he would want that, yes. We're supposed to ooo and ahh at a technical visionary, who is always ultimately a money guy executive who wants more money and more executive power.

Whoops. We made the most expensive product ever designed, paid for entirely by venture capital seed funding. Wanna pay for each ChatGPT query now that you've been using it for 1.5 years for free with barely-usable results? What a clown. Aside from the obvious abuse that will occur with image, video, and audio generating models, these other glorified chatbots are complete AIDS.

paid for entirely by venture capital seed funding.

And stealing from other people's works. Don't forget that part

Looks like it was a long game, and Altman didn't just win, that fucker WON!

ALT-MAN? Holy shit!

Sounds like the name of a Kojima game character
