Are you sure you've followed the instructions on how to set everything up, correctly? yt --transcript "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIKa6wKIX6g"
Yan Lea and Ilia ssav have both resigned from open aai just a day before the announcement of gp40 these follow several other high-profile or not quite as high-profile resignations um but namely several people from the super alignment team such as Leopold Ashen brener and pavle isov I'm probably pronouncing that wrong as well as several other people from the safety and governance team um namely Daniel K Koko and William Saunders pardon me so what does all of this mean well taking a big step back we remember that back uh late last year there was that coup attempt where Sam Alman was briefly fired from open Ai and then brought back um almost by un by unanimous demand from the employees so like here's a chance for me to spam one of my most favorite books which is the status game by William store or will store and so what happened is you have a you have a very clear power structure with Sam Alman at the top so this is um this is a clear social hierarchy human operating system is no different no matter you know what kind of high-minded ideals a company tries to put in with their Charter and their board of directors and whatever else um humans are humans and will always be humans and so uh Ilia was part of a coup attempt to take out the alpha now taking out the alpha is always a thing that is always an option on the table in any social hierarchy it's just a matter of the the rules that you're allowed to go about doing that and the consequences for failure so in the case of like lions um you know the alpha males are usually deposed every 3 to 5 years by a younger upand cominging male and this is um this is by evolutionary design um because the lionesses who are the ones who actually control the territory they want that new genetic stock and also being the Alpha Lion you know you takes a toll on you um same thing for chimps and gorillas where the alpha um is basically like you you take a swipe at the alpha um you know you had better depose him or you're you at worst you're going to get murdered um but you might also get like castrated um or ejected from the troop or the tribe or whatever um and again this is the same operating system that we have we're all mammals um and so what happened is uh is what's called social sanction so Ilia was part of the coup attempt and failed so what naturally happens is you basically get canceled so cancel culture is nothing new it's just now we can see it on the internet so Ilia was canel within open AI so regardless of what the official power structure said he had lost all Faith so um this is what's basically considered the equivalent of a social execution so Ila's status went from near the top to near the bottom this is pretty much just the default social human operating system uh playing out now once Sam Alman realized this and probably he had PR you know uh Specialists for Optics he was very magnanimous and he's like oh I be bear Ilia no ill will I hope I work with Ilia for a long time blah blah blah blah blah whatever happens to be true I don't know but but what Sam was saying he was very very de uh visibly demonstrating um magnanimity which is one thing that Alphas are supposed to show is saying oh hey like I won no big deal and he talked about how painful it was like it was scary it was painful um but then coming back into his power rather than being wrathful or vengeful or you know been out of shape about it it's like oh everything's back to normal because alpha males are also supposed to be and I mean true alpha males like in the animal world I don't mean like you know Andrew Tate alpha male um real alpha males are supposed to be the primary Peacemaker so this is something about uh chimpanzees and gorillas is actually the ones who break up most of the fights are the alpha males um so there they have to be the chief peacemakers now what happened shortly after this though uh Ilia launched a tweet that has since it was very quickly deleted but I remember this he uh he launched a tweet that said the beating shall continue until morale improves so this is to me a very clear sign that he was under social sanction that he was um he had been in a very high social status and now he's in a very low social status and of course we haven't really heard from him in months now none of this is really surprising and let me tell you why there's a few reasons that this uh that this whole turn of events is not really surprising even if it is still a little bit alarming first and foremost open AI was still until a year or two ago very much in startup mode now you might say but Dave they've been around for like 10 years that's not a startup actually keep in mind that most startups it takes 6 to 12 years before they go public um so they're very much still in startup mode and they went from I think a 100 or 200 employees to over 800 just a few months ago now they're opening offices all over the world I think it was what was it London was most recent one and then Japan or something anyways so they are scaling super fast and whenever you scale a company here's one of the things that happens to the social dynamics you have the core team the original 100 to 200 employees um and then you have excuse me I don't know what's wrong with my throat U probably allergies um so then you have the core team the original 1 to0 employees that have the core ethos most of them are in leadership many of them have positions of privilege just by virtue of being OG open AI staff but then you have several hundred new people so you have a ratio a four uh 4 to one or 5 to one of new people and this dilutes the culture a lot and so a lot of OG people in startup companies they often end up leaving just because they no longer feel special um they no longer feel like man like you do you remember the good old days and I've been at at startups um and and there is there is very something um kind of special about feeling like one of the OG but then particularly as things keep growing and if anyone surpasses you that doesn't feel so good um but then the culture also starts to change and it's not just the ad mixture of new people it is also that the company is going through a transition so there's startup mode which is where you have to be really Scrappy and wear a bunch of hats um and and do things a particular way but now they're in the the hyperscaling mode which is you know they're approaching a thousand employees which means there that they're a midsize business um and the way that midsize businesses are run they become much more bureaucratic there's more meeting there's more interactions with strangers you don't know everyone because that's one of the weirdest things of going from a startup to a midsize business is once you get past dunar number in fact what was it I think it was um maybe it was exponential organizations one of the books that I read he said like there's a very clear set of Transitions and the first transition is once you get above 26 people you can no longer have a flat hierarchy and that is because human brains are highly uh calibrated to operate in flat groups up to about 20 to 25 um because that's the size of tribal unit from you know our time uh in the distant past Paleolithic Era so we are able to work in tribal units of up to about 20 25 and that's just what our neurology is calibrated for beyond that once you get to the you know the 26 to 100 to 200 once you're still within dunbar's number that again your NE our neurology requires certain affordances but once you get beyond that you're basically coordinating a small city which means that there's a lot more anonymity there's a lot of other things going on on top of the business pressures on top of the new uh competitive landscape that the business is in and then you have open AI that has been in this debate where they tried this like really weird governance structure where they said you know we're the good guys you know it was basically like the not like other girls of startups um that's kind of how I've mentally started thinking about it like we're not like other startups we have this you know fun governance structure which guarantees that we're going to do AI safety and we see that that has basically just been categorically thrown out the window um so yeah that it is what it is um but so you'd expect some of the OG team to start leaving around this time anyways happens with every big startup from Google to Microsoft and so on and so forth now one thing that um that I will say is that they have been kind of uh slowly abandoning their more high-minded uh language around like AI safety and what is it that we're building in AGI and I've never really been quite okay with the way that Sam Alman talks about AGI one there's this like religious reverence and you see it in his tweets as well so and he thinks that he's the one that's creating this so there's certainly some some ego going on there but he's also constantly said it's not a creature it's just a tool and so that's not really that is that is that is what's called a he's foreclosed upon the idea that it's anything else he believes that he knows what he's creating and what his implications will be but that has never been true for like most technology um you know if you watched Oppenheimer like the way that we've we've cast it in hindsight is that like Oppenheimer knew what he was creating that it was going to have this you know profound impact on on the world um but of course that's looking in hindsight over 80 years ago um so we can't really like I and to be perfectly transparent you know back in the days of gpt2 gpt3 I was like open AI Fanboy I was 100% in their Corner what they're doing is right but over time I've just been increasingly uneasy about the power the concentration of power and everything that all the directions that they've been going so that's you know full disclosure I'm probably not surprised to anyone on here now on the other hand I'm glad that they exist I ran a poll a few months ago like on balance is is the existence of open Ai and Sam Alman a net positive for Humanity and it was like yes it was I don't remember but it was like vast majority said yes n positive um that it that what open AI is doing and what's mman is doing is still on balance better for Humanity um than if they weren't doing what they're doing so the last point that I want to address is the timing so the timing seems rather conspicuous doesn't it with Ilia announcing his res resignation just before GPT 40 being uh debuted and then Yan right after that so um Yan was the head of the super alignment team so it's not surprising that Ilia would leave it's only a matter of time once you go through through social sanction before you realize this is irrecoverable um his status was irretrievable there's just no coming back um and so uh that was that was a long time coming honestly I'm surprised it took this long um you know he might have been trying to talk behind the scenes um I could imagine the conversations going because Ilia is really like the the pure scientist he's clearly not a political operator he's not that that uh socially Savvy if I had to guess so he was probably still talking with Sam trying to like Salvage his reputation and Sam was just kind of letting letting it work itself out until Ilia realized like okay there's nothing nothing else to be done here and so then probably if I had to guess um Ilia said all right it's time for me to go and Sam said okay wait until this date so that it gets you know so that we we drown it out um is is probably what I guess cuz generally what happens if you want to if you don't want to blow the lid off of something you resign either just before before or just after a big event so that you've got some air cover and so it was probably kept secret so Ilia resigned and then Yan knowing that Ilia was like one of the the key scientists um said okay this sounds like a complete loss of faith on Yan's part where he's like you know what I'm if Ilia is out I'm out so that sounds almost like a reactionary thing but again the fact that it all happened just before a big announcement to provide some air cover um they might have also done this as a favor and so here's one thing is when you're that big the Optics really really matter so for instance if you want to get a job at another tech company you want to be seen as leaving as graciously as possible because if you have a reputation for blowing stuff up and rocking the boat some people might you know think twice before hiring you uh moving forward so that's my analysis um it is a little bit alarming it is a little bit shocking but honestly after doing this analysis it's not surprising at all um it's just it's just more evidence in the basket that open AI is 100% for profit um which is kind of what you'd expect all along that's what a lot of us have been talking about which is like the appeal for power the appeal for money all of that was just way too compelling uh for Sam and and the structure of Microsoft you know when uh when Microsoft said you know we are over and above and around them right like they they're part of the corporate machine now so it is what it is uh let me know what you think in the comments um yeah the the the poll that I ran yesterday I think that I think that I a majority of you would think that this is mostly negative or part at least partly negative um which I would tend to agree but also inevitable you know like Thanos and the snap like I am inevitable so Ilia leaving was inevitable um if you know anything about social status and social science um and psychology and then Yan leaving right after kind of not a surprise but the fact that he was the chief of super alignment um yeah that's a little bit more alarming so anyways cheers thanks for watching bye |

I've tried the install twice with the same results. Where is "helpers.yt" supposed to be located? I don't see a file with that name in the repo. |
