They went from standing with Anthropic to throwing them under the bus real fast

About half a day.

Sam Altman headlines

[–] timestatic@feddit.org 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They probably have been working on a potential agreement with openai for a while now. They just hastily finished it in response to anthropic. But I don't know if they will keep the red lines anthropic has demanded in place

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

They won't.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 5 points 2 days ago

The red line is the amount of cash they are ready to compromise for.

$$$

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 50 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Which they badly need, they are in an incredibly risky position right now. It's very disappointing, this deal might save them from collapse for quite a while.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The only disappointment, is that Altmans head is still attached to his shoulders.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Altman is a symptom, not the problem. The problem is capitalism.

[–] brynden_rivers_esq@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago

That’s very true; I still would love to see him guillotined.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but its interesting that all of these big tech guys are so creepy. Altman, Musk, Zuckerberg... Do they grow them in labs?

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Capitalism rewards sociopathy to a great degree. The less you care about fellow humans, the more you are willing to exploit them.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 days ago

No, no, even if we get that wish I dont want the US state propping up AI longer

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

It was always about the money.
