Wow, what an incredibly bad faith characterization of the OpenAI board?

This kind of speculative mud slinging makes this place seem more like a gossip forum.

Most of the comments on Hacker News are written by folks who a much easier time & would rather imagine themselves as a CEO, than as a non-profit board member. There is little regard for the latter.

As a non-profit board member, I'm curious why their bylaws are so crummy that the rest of the board could simply remove two others on the board. That's not exactly cunning design of your articles of association ... :-)

This place was never above being a gossip forum, especially on topics that involve any ounce of politics or social sciences.

I have no words for that comment.

As if its so unbelievable that someone would want to prevent rogue AI or wide-scale unemployment, instead thinking that these people just want to be super moderators and people to be politically correct

I have met a lot of people who go around talking about high minded principles an "the greater good" and a lot of people who are transparently self interested. I much preferred the latter. Never believed a word out of the mouths of those busybodies pretending to act in my interest and not theirs. They don't want to limit their own access to the tech. Only yours.

Strong agree. HN is like anywhere else on the internet but with with a bit more dry content (no memes and images etc) so it attracts an older crowd. It does, however, have great gems of comments and people who raise the bar. But it's still amongst a sea of general quick-to-anger and loosely held opinions stated as fact - which I am guilty of myself sometimes. Less so these days.
