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

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

[–] oce@jlai.lu 3 points 10 hours ago

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

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.

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

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

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

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

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 16 points 18 hours ago

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

It was always about the money.
