微軟出手直接讓 Sam Altman 與 Greg Brockman 成立新團隊

不算太意外的一步，Satya Nadella (微軟的 CEO) 直接宣佈讓 Sam Altman 與 Greg Brockman 加入微軟，包含了其他的 team member，另外還特別講了一句會儘快提供需要的資源：

X (Twitter) 上的全文：

We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.

微軟與 Satya Nadella 在這次爆炸後，災難處理接近最完美的劇本了？

讓 Sam Altman 回去 OpenAI 大概不是好方案，很明顯已經有嫌隙了，尤其是直接被 Greg Brockman 點名過的 Ilya Sutskever。

把 Sam Altman 與 Greg Brockman 放出去找 VC 開新的公司，不如還是讓直接微軟吃下來。

現在變成全部都還是在微軟的帝國裡面。

這個方法 Satya Nadella 完全可以對董事會交代，也能對微軟自家內部合作的團隊交代。

另外推文裡有提到 Emmett Shear 接手 Interim CEO，這樣看起來 Mira Murati 應該也是會過去 Sam Altman 那邊了。

後續應該就是看團隊元氣大傷後可以恢復多快了，少掉的 Ilya Sutskever 這塊要怎麼補？

Greg Brockman (OpenAI 的 President) 宣佈離職

OpenAI 的 President，Greg Brockman 宣佈離職：

不過更重要的是後續的說明，看起來是與 Sam Altman 聯合起來整理情況，算是另外一邊第一手的資料？

目前主要是一些時間線的呈現，分別被解任與拔除 President。

這邊講的 Ilya 是 Ilya Sutskever，在 Sam Altman 被幹掉後有些八卦傳言有提到他，不過目前 Cofounders 這邊還沒直接開火，沒辦法驗證更多資訊，再繼續等看看有沒有什麼資訊還會冒出來...

Sam Altman (OpenAI 的 CEO) 被幹掉

Hacker News 首頁變得超卡，通常代表有大事... 看了一下 top 1 的文章，oh 幹這件事情很大條：「OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman (openai.com)」。

OpenAI 的公告在「OpenAI announces leadership transition」這邊。

官方給了很嚴重的指控：

Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

In a statement, the board of directors said: “OpenAI was deliberately structured to advance our mission: to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity. The board remains fully committed to serving this mission. We are grateful for Sam’s many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward. As the leader of the company’s research, product, and safety functions, Mira is exceptionally qualified to step into the role of interim CEO. We have the utmost confidence in her ability to lead OpenAI during this transition period.”

這邊就用 ChatGPT 來翻譯好了：

奧特曼先生的離職是在董事會進行了深思熟慮的審查過程之後，董事會得出結論認為他在與董事會的溝通中並不總是坦率，這阻礙了董事會行使其職責的能力。董事會不再對他繼續領導OpenAI的能力有信心。

董事會在一份聲明中表示：“OpenAI是有意識地建立起來，以推進我們的使命：確保人工通用智能造福全人類。董事會仍然全力致力於服務於這一使命。我們感謝山姆對OpenAI創立和成長所做的許多貢獻。同時，我們認為隨著我們向前邁進，需要新的領導層。作為公司研究、產品和安全功能的負責人，米拉非常適合擔任臨時首席執行官的角色。我們對她在這個過渡時期領導OpenAI的能力充滿信心。”

現在 X (Twitter) 上面也有不少人在討論 (八卦)，但看起來只能先讓子彈飛一下...

自幹 VR 眼鏡

在 Hacker News Daily 上看到「Relativty‍ an open-source VR headset」這個自幹 VR 眼鏡的專案，專案可以在 GitHub 的「relativty/Relativty」這邊看到。

看起來是使用 3D 印表機生出配件，然後用 ArduinoCore-sam 開發軟硬體的部份，目前的系統可以在 2K 解析度下跑 120fps：

The Relativty firmware, which powers the actual physical device, is based on ArduinoCore-sam. So in addition to the Relativty Motherboard, it is compatible with Arduino Due or any other board equipped with a processor that supports the ArduinoCore.

Relativty headset runs a 2K dual-display at 120FPS. However, because of the open nature of Relativty you can use any display as long as your computer is able to handle it. From more affordable 90Hz 1080p screen to 4K panels.

不過不知道反應延遲有多高，偏高的話會有 3D 暈的問題，在網站裡面沒提到，我猜應該會是痛點... 另外看起來是想要商業化，頁面下面有 hiring 的資訊，先觀望看看好了？
