1. When this did occur in ChatGPT, you could just ask the API version of the same model and it will tell you without erroring out.

2. There is a notable enough David Mayer and you can see that by Wikipedia that isn't named in the article. However, since the API version of ChatGPT works to answer who is this person, it probably was a moderation issue with the general public versions instead of a conspiracy.

3. OpenAI fixed this, and ChatGPT no longer exhibits this behavior.

1. Those in favor of identity based control over using electronic devices, attaching a real world identity to your computing use. (Including up to signed software only allowed to run on devices).

2. Those in favor of the restriction of access of the internet by a government entity (Including up to regulated speech).

This is similar to the break up Google arguments. Instead you just have to out-code it. (For the counterarguments, this applies to code-based companies, instead of infrastructure based)... If a social media is harmful, then parents can put those restrictions already on devices. But letting the government do this gives much more freedoms away than initially thought. Not just this, but if there happens to ever be a social media that is 10 times better than all existing ones, where even more real speech discussion and conversation happens, or whatever form it is, it will still be regulated and controlled using the same methods.

I usually don't comment often, but I would usually expect someone here to bring up these concerns... which is unusual to not find them. And I mean the specific two points are the argument. Those must be flipped to allow this law to be just, which is to say, most likely not.

And a third point, even in a perfect implementation, (imagine a perfect world), you end up with the first two points still being an issue. The technological ability to restrict devices by signed software, and speech to a central authority, allows the attack surface for anyone to have the ability to control the entirety of the devices on that system, in ways that would be hard to discern. Extend this technology to other devices, like VR, and see the domino...

Check the URL section.

Also why is some devices don't support this randomization, or even if they do, the first connection is not supported. When you first activate an iPhone or use a Windows computer, it still does not expose all the settings to randomize the MAC address until you setup the device, so the first connection exposes the actual address to the network. Yet again we need deeper levels of change to fix this.

You can check yourself from the app:

Services > Devices on Network > Manage

And it will show all of the MAC addresses connected, and recently connected. Even remotely if you are not logged into your network.

You also can see the *plaintext* password to your router from this app.

Services > Your WiFi Network

Which means a nation state also can remotely login to your network without you knowing, and otherwise is bad for security if passwords for millions of homes are plaintext.

---

Moral of the story is that even if Apple eventually fixes this, the other side of the tracking that nation states could do could be done at the ISP firmware level. To solve this kind of attack, either allowing open firmware or new legislation is the only to stop this. (Which when has privacy legislation ever happened... is another question for another day).

Ilya, thanks for all you have contributed within OpenAI!

Edit (4:57 ET): "gpt-4-turbo" shows the updated 4096 in playground. "gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09" remains 2048 in playground.

Because if we are using just text, why is the extra output size reduced still?

Either way, interesting.

Only problem is will.

The future you can bet on is the one you create.

lol.

1. They can get equivalent position and pay at the new Microsoft startup during that time, so their jobs are not at risk.

2. Sam approved each hire in the first place.

3. OpenAI is selecting for the type of people who want to work at a non-profit with a goal in mind instead of another company that could offer higher compensation. Mission driven vs profit driven.

Either way on how they got to that conclusion of banding together to quit, it was a good idea, and it worked. And it is a check on power for a bad board of directors, when otherwise a board of directors cannot be challenged. "OpenAI is nothing without its people".

> OpenAI's board of directors approached rival Anthropic's CEO about replacing chief Sam Altman and potentially merging the two AI startups, according to two people briefed on the matter. (https://www.reuters.com/technology/openais-board-approached-...)

It all makes sense.

Developer's time viewed as unlimited! Because the API has no SLA and can go down for any period of time...

Given that:

1. Cycled three CEOs in less than a week.

2. The current interim CEO is in talks to resign (because the board still has not given a clear reason to why Sam was fired).

This means no matter what Ilya does, the other three can vote him out, which is why the board removed Mira, stalled on bringing Sam back, etc, since Ilya's vote does not matter anymore.

Only if you can move two people over to the other side will you have 3 vs 1, and could bring Sam and Greg back.

This Microsoft deal could just be another Satya card, and means: 1. If Sam goes back to OpenAI, we (as Microsoft) still will get new models at the normal rate in our previous contract. 2. If Sam cannot go back, we get to hire most of OpenAI to Microsoft, and can rebuild from the rubble.

So AI is saved at the last minute. Either OpenAI will live, or it will be rebuilt in Microsoft and funded by Microsoft with the same benefits as before. Only loss was slowing AI down by maybe months, but the team probably could get back where they started. They know it all in their heads. Microsoft already has the IP.

If there was no hope for OpenAI, then Ilya might just move with Sam to Microsoft, and that would be the end of it.

So no matter if Ilya wants to go back to before this happened, the other three members can sabotage and stall, and outvote him.
