An ad? Or a really creepy short film?

I have no idea what they were smoking back then, but it must have been great ;)

Found it on Reddit

We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.

We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

Seems like the person running the simulation had enough and loaded the earlier quicksave.

We had a thread about OpenAI Staff Threaten to Quit Unless Board Resigns, but I thought I might as well add it again. Especially because of this part:

Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s chief scientist and a member of its board, who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place.

Okay then. I think we are in a simulation, someone quick saved, and is now experimenting what the outcomes of random decisions are.

A minor piece of information was that OpenAI Approached Anthropic About Merger, and The Atlkantic has a slightly longer look and speculation what’s going on Inside the Chaos at OpenAI.

With Ilya’s recent turn around, there’s apparently also the option of Altman coming back Sam Altman is still trying to return as OpenAI CEO, something even MS would apparently be okay with, at least publically.

Business Analysis blog Stratechery posted some analysis on OpenAI’s Misalignment and Microsoft’s Gain.

Loving it, this is like SubredditDrama, but without having any actual chance of affecting me (I don’t believe in AGI coming out of LLMs), and on a global scale.

Well, this escalated quickly. So is this the end, or will the mods create an OpenAI megathread? ;)

In today’s OpenAI clown show news

Are they drunk over there?

They finally released their album "Whispers of Lore". Female fronted epic heavy metal (or, I guess, "new wave of traditional heavy metal"). Their singer has an amazing voice that gives me shivers. I’m not much of a traditional/heavy metal fan, but I might buy the album just because of that voice.

Thought I'd share this, now that they released the DLC. Vagrus is probably not for the majority of people. It's a very dark, extremely text heavy, trading caravan sim with combat and RPG elements.

If you don't like reading, don't even think about playing it, there are several novels with of text in there, with amazing world building.

If this sounds interesting, you get an amazing indie game, that now got the first of 3 DLC (with two smaller, free dlcs already out).

2 1/2 weeks ago, I started going for short (25-40 minutes) daily morning runs. Right now the temperature is mostly 10C or higher, so I can just wear shorts and a t-shirt. One day it was below 8, felt a bit cold, and so I got a functional (=plastic) sport long sleeve. That works well, and I can even wear a t-shirt under it if it gets colder (tested it, currently too warm, but I'll probably do that for 6c and lower). Cleaning is easy, I just take it in the shower with me.

But now I'm worried about it getting colder, not running, getting out of the routine and not starting again.

What does one get for temperatures around 0 or slightly below, that's also cleanable and dryable for the next day, that preferably also doesn't break the bank?

Edit: just to clarify, mainly looking for pants, but will happily take top recommendations as well.

edit2: Just wanted to say thank you to everyone here :) I got a merino beanie and a running windbreaker with a neck-protection. I’ll get running tights if I start feeling the need for them.

Found this via an AMG review. So far, only 2 songs are out (release in 3 days), the opener sounded great, but the 2nd song I linked here blew me away. And as a lover of folk-metal, but also extreme metal, I’m really enjoying the combination for this song.

Original article in German

While not clear from this article, the German one mentions

According to the team, the soldiers were probably settlers from the area who have now been called up as reservists. They were travelling in a private vehicle and were wearing civilian headgear.
