According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati told employees on Wednesday that a letter about the AI breakthrough called Q* (pronounced Q-Star), precipitated the board’s actions.

The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q*, which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup’s search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.

    Dude, like 5 years ago I remember there were less than 20k people, now there are 2million+ subscribed unfortunately. Almost all subreddits with big numbers are normy hype trains :(

      Did this turn into a default sub? I find it hard to believe over 2million people took the effort to find and subscribe.

          Thanks! That helps me connect the dots. It’s at least nice to know so many people express interest in ML.

            Yeah, although I’m sad we can’t have both. I miss the place where I discovered and discussed ML research. Haven’t found a good replacement yet.
