No way Ive would have approved that cabinet if he was still at Apple.

Lamego sounds like a scumbag opportunist who was not a good fit in the culture of Apple.  It also seems like he bears a good deal of the blame.

His name is appropriate…he is “lame” and always on the “go” after joining a company.

DED, thanks for reminding me about the natural history of tech punditry!  I keep forgetting about how wrong these oracles of wisdom profess to be.  And yeah, why do we even listen to their nonsense?

I was listening to the song “Every Picture Tells s Story” this morning and thinking, yeah a LLM AI could never have conceived of this song…but tech pundits look at LLM and sees a force as uninspired as them.

Obviously the intention was to kill off the company. Some serious litigation is in order methinks.

I think it has more to do with Sam Altman throwing caution to the wind to chase profits, while the board's view was to work as a non-profit, and more carefully with greater consideration for the potential dangers. Employees with stock options, thus "skin-in-the-game", would logically side with Sam. 

Apparently what Mr Altman was telling the board left a few things out, not a surprise considering what has been reported about his personality. 

Agree completely Gator, plus add two dollops of outright greed to the dish.  The money at stake in their eyes is just too great that the altruistic concerns to be careful are going out the window.

And for those of you who think that MSFT will immediately profit from this need to be aware that the computing power to run LLMs is so ridiculously expensive that their investment is going to take awhile to come to fruition.

I think white collar jobs are going to be under threat this time around unlike the automation efficiencies that affected blue collar work.  Interesting times.

I think a single messaging standard would invite government surveillance even with encryption.  The right answer is to let multiple messaging standards exist.  In Europe, android and FB Messenger reign supreme and Google needs to refine their own system.
