> Also keep in mind we've only heard one side of the story, so any interpretation of events so far is incomplete.

That’s not quite true though is it. OpenAI is fortunate enough to have one of its employees (you) here to advocate for its side of the story.

Sure; if you define the quality of a problem by reference to your ability to solve it.

In the real world the quality of these esoteric problems is typically gauged by the difficulty of solving them.

I’m pretty sure you think you are doing a good job of defending your employer and you probably believe “Open”AI are the good guys here. I also acknowledge that they butter your bread so your financial future currently depends on their success.

However the way you are conducting yourself in public, while announcing yourself as an OpenAI employee is doing enormous harm to the greater and magnanimous aim of your organisation. Take a step back and read the temperature of the room. Being the smartest guy in the room will never protect you from alienating the rest of the room into a baying mob. Right now you are Icarus flying straight into the sun.

What you are describing is 'no guaranteed PTO - everything is at the whim of your manager' which is a far cry from the 'unlimited PTO' narrative the employer is pushing. Calling it unlimited if it comes with limits is disingenuous and likely to cause anger and resentment as we can see here.

So you mean 'no defined limit but definitely not unlimited' or do you mean 'unlimited except with the following limitations'? You don't have a great argument.

For the benefit of anyone else reading fabrication is the key word in the origin of “Mobile homes”

She didn’t die

That's called transfer pricing and is essentially illegal in almost every jurisdiction. There are of course plenty of loopholes and ways around it and large companies such as Apple spend a fortune with the big 4 accounting firms to take advantage of every such loophole.

That's only if linking from https to an http page which is not the case here.

I am in Australia and we have had contactless payments for years. Apple Pay with an iPhone was more trouble than using a card. On the other hand since I got my Apple Watch I haven't carried credit cards with me. It started out as a 1 month experiment to see if I could survive and it has never been a problem.

I don't think you understand your "really qualified audience" very well if you thought a coordinated marketing campaign with all the other "chosen" launch partners was a good idea.

The deeper you get in to a bottle of wine the easier the conversation becomes.

Next time carry it up one flight of stairs and put it in the lift out of sight of the doorman.

I'm very dubious about the first source you posted. It claims vehicles consume 15-20% less fuel when travelling on concrete compared to asphalt. That statistic doesn't pass a basic sniff test in my opinion.

You are correct about the HK case. However there weren't many observers who though Phillip Morris stood a chance. The lawsuit was much more about signalling to other countries considering plain packaging than actually overturning the laws in Australia. There is still a pending WTO arbitration which is also expected to be decided in Australia's favour.
