It's clear that they didn't stop uploads of the torrents. It hasn't been established in the documents we've seen so far that they actually had downloaders in turn. But they did clearly make the works available for upload.

oh dont' worry - they prop up the appearance not the usability. They look smoother but user input is still sampled at the slower rate, so the games aren't actually any more reactive.

ehh. even in the original text it rapidly decays into anything that annoys him is a hyperkludge. Successful things have problems that are only problems of success.

I'm leaving OpenAI after over 2 years of wild ride.

Alongside @barret_zoph, @LiamFedus, @johnschulman2, and many others I got to build a “low key research preview” product that became ChatGPT. While we were all excited to work on it, none of us expected it to be where it is today, 100s of millions of users in a historically short amount of time. It was truly a privilege to witness its growth.

I learned so much through the process. Thank you so much @sama, @gdb, @miramurati, @ilyasut, @bobmcgrewai for giving us a chance. OpenAI is a special place.

Now, onto new things!
