#Oops Due to the ongoing case New York Times v #OpenAI, you cannot delete your #ChatGPT prompts and conversations as the court has ordered [1] on 13th of May that all logs must be stored until further notice. OpenAI is furious as that means "including sensitive personal information, proprietary business data, and internal government documents" [2]. The court is not impressed [3] and sticks to the order.

"...goes as far as to claim that #superintelligence "*isn't* a long-term issue," but is even "more short-term than e.g. climate change and most people's retirement planning."

To support his theory, the researcher pointed to a recent #Microsoft study arguing that #OpenAI's large language model GPT-4 is already showing *"sparks" of AGI* and a recent talk given by #DeepLearning researcher Yoshua Bengio*."

In a move that surprises absolutely noone, GitHub now requires users to login in order to browse public repositories (including open source projects). After a few (~10) requests, you get blocked (I can confirm). In order to fight AI scrapers, I guess.

So, GitHub decided to blanket-limit access to open source projects as a defense against the very scourge that they(r parent company) unleashed on the world.

I won't be hypocrite: it's a bit embarrassing, but undeniably satisfying to say "told you so". I moved away from GitHub long ago and I moved all my stuff to Codeberg instead. And so happy I did!

Next step: radicle.xyz maybe?

#OpenAI drops plan to transition to a for-profit corporation. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/technology/openai-nonprofit.html

In Jan 2023, just 2 months after #OpenAI launched #ChatGPT, a survey of 1,000 #college #students found that nearly 90% of them had used the chatbot to help w/ #homework assignments. In its first year of existence, ChatGPT’s total monthly visits steadily increased month-over-month until June, when #schools let out for the summer. (That wasn’t an anomaly: Traffic dipped again over the summer in 2024.)

Changing its plan could create uncertainty for #OpenAI’s financial future. The company had said it needed to transition into a for-profit company to unlock billions of dollars of new funding from Japanese conglomerate #SoftBank.

OpenAI announced it was scrapping its plan to restructure in an email sent to reporters Monday.

“We made the decision for the #nonprofit to retain control of #OpenAI after hearing from civic leaders & engaging in constructive dialogue with the offices of the AG of Delaware & the AG of California,” board chair Bret Taylor said in the announcement. OpenAI was incorporated in Delaware but has its headquarters in California.

#ChatGPT maker #OpenAI will remain under the control of its founding #nonprofit board, after abandoning its plan to split off its commercial ops as a #ForProfit company.

Fmr employees & #ElonMusk, a co-founder of OpenAI who later split w/ its leaders, had criticized the restructuring plan, saying it would remove important oversight of its #ArtificialIntelligence #technology. #Musk filed a lawsuit seeking to block the plan; the suit is still ongoing.
