I think it is interesting mainstream is presenting Altman as the progressive, and a loss to OpenAi. Does it not occur to anyone that the unusual corporate structure of OpenAi simply did what it was designed to do - eject anybody trying to take control of the non profit company, for profit?

Has everyone forgotten Altman was a leading signatory on the famed petition raised by all the "concerned" industrialists about the possible "Dangers" of Ai, insisting it be regulated, rather than freed up? How does that make him progressive?

What he and the other signatories were really worried about, it seems to me, was actually losing their businesses and jobs to it, after they realised it could easily replace them, rather than make them all that lovely profit they thought they were going to make from it.

Altman was obviously right to be worried, and actually so should Microsoft be worred also - ChatGPT could fully automate Ubuntu tomorrow, if a few put their minds to doing that with it. Then where will Microsoft be with their core product, Windows, superseded?
