OpenAI board member Helen Toner published an article Altman took issue with.
She described it as “an academic paper that analyzed the challenges that the public faces when trying to understand the intentions of the countries and companies developing A.I.”
lol.
👀
Suffice it to say that’s not _all_ the article talks about.
The article is literally an analysis of different ways you can force AI companies (and governments using AI) to slow development, and recommendations on how they can be used and which are best.
For example (I’m not making this up) the “tying hands” method, where you encourage someone to make public declarations, then threaten “punishment,” such as being “subject to congressional investigation” or facing “disciplinary actions from the board of directors.”
But wait there’s more!
What is an example of an organization that deserves punishment, and should be subject to (as she calls them) “costly measures?”
OpenAI (where she sits on the board).
OpenAI released GPTs too early, and forced a “race to the bottom”
She closes by commending Anthropic who apparently did it right by _not_ releasing their model quickly, and recommends policymakers weave these “tools” of “costly measures” into their toolbelts.
Insane.

The very brief breakdown of what happens from here:
1. If you had FDIC insured accounts in SVB (<$250k) you should get that cash shortly, next few days.
2. If you had accounts that weren't FDIC insured, you become a creditor. There's an asset firesale, you're first in line.
It seems entirely possible the firesale is enough to make account holders whole, but by no means certain.
And timing is the important part here. Being made whole 6 months from now doesn't help companies with a lot of payroll and not a lot of revenue (i.e. most startups).
I don’t know how many of these painfully low budget, not-quite-Hallmark-channel Christmas movies Netflix is going to make, but what I do know is my wife is going to watch every single one of them
I don’t know which one she’s watching now but a recently divorced writer is living in Scotland trying to write another book (her career depends on it) and trying really hard to not fall in love with some single-for-no-particular-reason silver fox who lives in a castle?
Omg she found a beautiful dress in the closet I wonder if it fits
