OK everyone's asking me for my take on the OpenAI stuff, so here it is. I have a strong feeling about what's going on, but no internal info so this is just me talking. The first point to make is that the Dev Day was (IMO) an absolute embarrassment.

DeepMind just dropped Lyria, a state-of-the-art music generative model. Last year, I said 2022 was the year of pixels and 2023 would be the year of soundwaves. We are making great progress here! The most impressive demo is converting humming to a full instrument suite. I think Lyria will unlock all the operators we are used to in image models: text-based editing, style transfer, in-painting (fill out tracks), out-painting (continue a track), super-resolution, etc. Lyria is deployed as an intuitive software tool to musicians, in partnership with YouTube. This is the right move: ship the model! With enough artists on board, Lyria could spin a data flywheel that learns from the artists' feedback and editing signals. Congrats to DeepMind for shipping!

i loved my time at openai. it was transformative for me personally, and hopefully the world a little bit. most of all i loved working with such talented people. will have more to say about what’s next later. 🫡

Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today. Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out. We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Here is what we know: - Last night, Sam got a text from Ilya asking to talk at noon Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet and the whole board, except Greg, was there. Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon. - At 12:19pm, Greg got a text from Ilya asking for a quick call. At 12:23pm, Ilya sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he was being removed from the board (but was vital to the company and would retain his role) and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post. - As far as we know, the management team was made aware of this shortly after, other than Mira who found out the night prior. The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned. We will be fine. Greater things coming soon.
