Elon Musk Trolls His Way Into the OpenAI Drama
Elon Musk cofounded OpenAI but left after his own failed coup. Now he has shared an unsigned letter containing unverified accusations against the recently fired CEO, Sam Altman.
ELON MUSK NEEDED fewer than 100 characters to add new chaos to the ongoing crisis swirling around OpenAI after the shock firing of CEO Sam Altman last week.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Musk drew attention to an anonymous letter accusing Altman of various examples of underhanded behavior as CEO of OpenAI.
The link shared by Musk was to a copy of the letter uploaded to GitHub, a resource for sharing code. That copy of the letter was removed less than an hour after Musk posted it. Sources with knowledge of Altman's tenure at OpenAI told WIRED they were not familiar with the accusations. Altman did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
- and now Altman is back as CEO and Musk continues to make himself look like a fool.formed

I hope he gets fucking reamed for his pedo garbage. May give him some incentive to just do what he’s good at.
- Fuck off with your downvotes. Cunts.BusterBoy
- As a billionaire I'm sure he has nothing to worry about. What's the worse case here? he has to pay a few $100,000s??zarkonite
- LOL, just read the suit. He's demanding $75,000.zarkonite
- That's silly. Lawyer didn't do his homework. If he won, he could have gotten millions.formed
- Not really, he's probably not going to get a cent... two adults exchanged insults on the internet, that's not a reason to be compensated. Just cuz Musk is richzarkonite
- doesn't mean all of a sudden everything he does is more lucrative.zarkonite

Its all speculative and highly algo trading on data and money pumping. ppl forget the "gigafactory" in reno has been halted at 30%. The shanghai "gigafactory is no where near the same scope. Almost a tent fremont center. And the original gigafactory is advertised as panasonic. And yet today bed bath an beyond showed a big decline and share losses and was up. the markets are all about self destructive behavior. Just wondering if the fed can hold off a moment of everyone profit grabbing. Cant pump this bubble with no losses. Either you allow rate increases and asset declines or get bernie sanders types who will spread every asset to those without out of political upheaval. Domestically speaking... But first we'd need a global status reduction for that scenario.
- LOL!monospaced
- BBBY was not up this week, and didn't hit any of their targets. Fed can't stop the free market either. Also, what bubble?monospaced
- also, the entire POINT of a stock market is speculation ... the fact that you seem to think that's a criticism seems incredibly naive or ignorantmonospaced
- It was up after the news. it dropped later. shows lags in algos. The fed works against any idea of a free market. And the bubble is a liquidity trapdeathboy
- the point of a stock market is more cognizant investment. Individuals with capital investing in business with dividends based on ideal salesdeathboy
- or at least any recognized returns based on real value. the markets don't resemble any thing of the sort anymore. why 40% of traded companies are zombies withdeathboy
- negative earnings and many more so overvalued through passive investments or plain ignorance.deathboy
- but regardless of the capt wow statements of fact. Tesla is very volatile and popular like and bitcoin knockoff. Doesn't mean its "valuable" just mean its adeathboy
- its a troll doll fad. I'm just surprised how he has skated so far fucking everyone over. Our legislators elected dem leaning and they wont touch even the repdeathboy
- public handouts. Not sure any politician wants to confront these fake companies because of the job losses involved.deathboy
- which is a huge part of the trap with the fed. and which they promised they would do until dec 2019 and shit hit the fan and they got scareddeathboy
- they are held hostage by the over leveraged companies. knowing if rate raise with their positions they will destroy economies and make so many bankrupt.deathboy
- corps learned from home owners on walking away and central banking response. I have no idea how this will end but I dont expect welldeathboy
- Mono if you wanted to raise rates to stabilize wealth ( rich vs poor lowering ability for rich to access capital where poor cannot) and hold the current lendeesdeathboy
- to task. If a 1% interest rate increase and ignore bailing out repo markets and there over leveraged positions with runs on banks...deathboy
- lets say it it cause a collapse of at least 15% of the 40% of zombies and another 5% of other companies. in jobs only. capital losses a big difference. woulddeathboy
- you take that responsibility? i thought powell would, but something got to him dec 2019 end. he hasnt been the samedeathboy
- or maybe i hoped he had the back, and turned out folded as every other central banker.deathboy
- And more importantly mono what do you think about halting construction of original "gigafactory" at 30% while panasonic runs it?deathboy
- oh and mono. the point of a stock market is rational investment. dividends and gains. the forces which created stock markets no longer existdeathboy
- who wants to buy a share 30x over priced? Its irrational, its cultural and its passive. Sure passive capital increased growth and corps of monopolistic naturedeathboy
- but is that well invested capital? Gov incentive investment is only corp incentive investment. There is money in it why its a tasty carrot, but its riggeddeathboy
- The artificial growth in unsustainable and all the 30X values plus pensions and gov promises will either need to be made null and void or hyperinflationdeathboy
- we'll see what the fed reduction of 5 bill in feb does on repos. Im buying a home and not yet locked into an interest rate so this shit involves me directlydeathboy
- let all the printing be and promise of free shit after i lock in a low rate. This market manipulation is shit and have excess capital im tired of rentingdeathboy
- and future goes to the indebted. Forgive my home loan for a vote! Responsible finance is a strangely "the dumb thing to do"deathboy
- lol, are you okay? You went so far off in o many directions and so deep in ignorant assumptions I was thikning maybe you had a stroke or somethingmonospaced
- Your dumbsplaining of the market is unnecessary. Just say that you're too proud or stupid to invest and let us mop up the riches, okay?monospaced
- Cue another dozen notes from the house retard, deathboy. AND GO!monospaced
- thats the thing mono. im neither proud nor stupid. just calling it what it is and saying i have no idea, except its current path is unsustainabledeathboy
- i dont have a position, or if i do in cash its been getting slayed by central banking for decades. its jsut i dont buy the incentives to fund the casinodeathboy
- and if history proves anything those with the least will take from those with. redistribution of your wealth amongst lessers liek me who are poor :(deathboy

Twitter had 7k employees when Elon bought it right?
I argue Twitter's complexity can be run by just a few hundred people.
Remember instagram had just 13 people and millions of users when it was bought by Fb more than a decade ago:
https://www.businessinsider.in/t…
Remember Whatsapp had 55 employees and millions of users when Facebook bought it:
https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tec…
Remember the greatest scam in crypto Tether and at the same time maybe the greatest hedge fund ever is run by a dozen people
https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/com…
Remember Facebook just fired 11K people and nobody blinked
https://www.independent.co.uk/in…
So stfu about Elon firing people and ruining Twitter if you don't have a clue how big companies are run and how many people you need to run a big social network
This discussion should have ended with my post of Paul Graham's tweets bellow
If you don't know who paulg is you shouldn't be in this thread or in tech for that matter
- Are you quoting someone, or is this your schpiel? If the latter, lol.Nairn
- lol so you are well versed in how big companies are run too? Fucking lol graf, how many agencies do you run now?monospaced
- A company like Twitter should and does need a whole team of lawyers for example.monospaced
- Remember a while back when they interviewed Facebook staff having to watch through hours of horror content and they said there was no where near enough staff?PhanLo
- No. People don't get Twitter is a privately owned company now. No more shareholders, if you don't like it go to Mastodon or whatever...grafician
- People don't get in a privately owned tech company there is ZERO accountability.grafician
- "just a few hundred people."jonny_quest_lives
- so cute...jonny_quest_lives
- This is why Facebook did all the nasty crazy shit 'cuz Facebook is practically owned by Zuck. The rest of the shareholders don't matter :))grafician
- I really meant it when I said you guys really don't get how big companies in tech are run and what are the limits.grafician
- any large corporation has a certain amount of bloat... what i don't understand is why elon stans getting so enraged by distributed systems engineers resigningjonny_quest_lives
- Elon does all these moves because the buy out of Twitter was leveraged so he has debt to cover. Until he figures out what's what at twitter...grafician
- 21st century luddites worshipping at the alter of eLoN and then they end their arguments with "he puts rockets into space what do you know?"jonny_quest_lives
- ...he will cut and UNCUT all the people he needs. When the dust settles in a few months, I expect Twitter to be better run than any tech companygrafician
- i can't venture a guess as to how large Twitter's infrastructure actually is but a few hundred ain't going to cut it...jonny_quest_lives
- we shall see when everyone starts posting their world cup clips and tweets...jonny_quest_lives
- @jonny bro try to think in business terms, not in "we the users are entitled to ___" shit ;)
I never mentioned rockets here btwgrafician - He'll be held accountable when something goes really wrong. Well, wronger than it already is going. In American terms he might get a fine.PhanLo
- we shall see if the global elastic scale holds with a skeleton crew attempting to police infrastructure in real timejonny_quest_lives
- No, not really, he won't be held accountable at all. If twitter goes down, it can be written of as a bad investment and be done with it.grafician
- just like tesla is the best run car company?jonny_quest_lives
- QBN is the same btw, so should I search for QBN LLC and find out who we need to kiss ass so this forum still runs smoothly?
Watch yourselves :)grafician - EU regulations stipulate a certain number of moderates per users. Hence high employee count compared to years ago instagram etc.shapesalad
- just be wary of cults of personality...jonny_quest_lives
- https://pbs.twimg.co…jonny_quest_lives
- just be wary of nobodies commenting on shit they have no clue about
twitter is full of these idiots these daysgrafician - just because your on social media doesn't mean you're important and we need to listen to you
people demand this shit taken for granted = all this dramagrafician - So again, private company = ZERO accountabilitygrafician
- Best would be for Elon to fucking ask for subscriptions for twitter and be done with it, pay to tweet, if you can't afford it fuck offgrafician
- Or at best be in read-only mode and you can only follow and stfugrafician
- Being a private company is giving you a lot many more options to moderate and model the community without giving a fuck about "politically correct" shitgrafician
- Anyway, other "social networks" did it with a lot many less people and everything was fine, so all these idiots commenting on Elon is nonsensegrafician
- So all this shit is BECAUSE of Elon, not really about twitter
You can't spit in the man's face and still demand he follows your tweets on HIS private networkgrafician - it has always been "algorithmically enhanced" free speech subject to "terms of service" eLoN can do whatever he wants and you are correct about that.jonny_quest_lives
- Anyway, twitter was so badly run BEFORE Elon he needs to actually cut even more people to get a good team to run this placegrafician
- 7000 idiots to run a network and no changes in basic functionaly in like a decade? fuck off
Again, Zuck fired 10K last weekgrafician - I can also applaud ex Twitter engineers walking out on him for doing the calculus that 3 months severence might be a better deal than overworked/understaf...jonny_quest_lives
- nobody cared! Facebook still runs, influencers still there
Anyway, I digressgrafician - twitter 2.0 will certainly be a management case study either way it plays outjonny_quest_lives
- just don't understand the right's fixation of attacking twitter employees as some sort of secret cabal of leftists prohibiting "free speech"jonny_quest_lives
- "7000 idiots "jonny_quest_lives
- Yeah everybody thinks they're entitled to something on twitter
Everybody is expendable in tech, people really do forget thatgrafician - ^ Case in point: https://qbn.com/repl…grafician
- "no changes in basic functionality"jonny_quest_lives
- soo what do you think happens inside Twitter when say 500,000 users decide to post HD clips of world cup goals simultaneously?jonny_quest_lives
- Zero degradation in service since Elon's take over, so business as usual
But all that would be posted on tiktok first I betgrafician - I am putting my money on head of lettuce...jonny_quest_lives
- https://pbs.twimg.co…jonny_quest_lives
- With all due respect you commented a lot but really didn't say muchgrafician
- what's there to say? you seem to envy these people who were employed at twitter who made an income with their skills as lazy idiots?jonny_quest_lives
- As in adding anything useful to the discussion
And no, why tf would anyone envy entitled former twitter employeesgrafician - I doubt many of them will be hired again soon, as the market is flooded with ex-hires from Facebook, Amazon, etc. way more valuable people and ex-twittergrafician
- well the crux of your discussion seems to be based on the premise that all tech companies are overstaffed...jonny_quest_lives
- and eLoN is some sort of genius for being the first begin the white colloar cull.jonny_quest_lives
- But probably @nb's company will hire everybody ex-twitter as he said recentlygrafician
- and again you load your statements "And no, why tf would anyone envy entitled former twitter employees"
graficianjonny_quest_lives - so there is no discourse to be had.jonny_quest_lives
- Under private management you don't need to grow anymore, no more pressure so no more useless hiring to fill spots - just the stricly necessary to run the placegrafician
- Anyway, again, this is common knowledge, but not here so yeah
If anybody would add something useful, if not, I'm outgrafician - so where it stands is you believe twitter staff of a publicly traded company pre elon purchase were both "entitled" as well as "lazy"jonny_quest_lives
- so yeah i am the one who added nothing usefuljonny_quest_lives
- That is the common opinion now amongs a lot of people, like I said this was common knowledge. Elon is mocked by peasants while everybody who gets it carry on.grafician
- i already agreed eLoN can do what he wants... just hope he has that $1billion check ready for Morgan Stanley... they want their interest paymentsjonny_quest_lives
- But no worries, all this will fade quickly in the shadow of the next outrageous thing like the new Qatar World cupgrafician
- It's all ironic the amount of criticism from the likes of people who don't even have twitter acounts.grafician
- Nobody would care about twitter if it wasn't for their envy/hate of Elon
It's quite spectacular this showgrafician - But as Hadji would say "sim sim salabim" and everything will be finegrafician

"Elon Musk confirms that Twitter’s character limit will be raised from 280 to 4000 characters."
- The charm about Twitter was always the limited character/ word countNBQ00
- Exactly.grafician
- they're going to need way more data centres and thusly bigger revenue.shapesalad
- latency at scale... i am sure running with mediocre support staff will go well too when implemented. that is if this isn't another eLoon never deliver featurejonny_quest_lives
