Sam Altman fired as CEO of OpenAI

From the article, quoting statement from the company:

“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 company said in its blog post. “The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.”

You are talking as if Sync dev went and plastered ads all over Lemmy web app, Voyager, Infinity, Connect, Thunder etc.

Those are still ad-free, so people who love them can continue using them. Those who want to pay Sync can pay Sync. Lemmy platform remains unchanged. What's the problem?

You enjoy that first class crap. Edit: It's official, the $ync army consists of insufferable, ball sucking douchebags.

I do enjoy Sync and I hope to continue to. I ain't mad but you seem to be, I just don't understand why.

Subscription models for an app that’s not hosting anything is just the dev wanting a constant revenue stream, no matter how they try to word it.

Preach. Not sure why this is so hard for folks to understand.

App development isn't and never has been an one-time done deal. Devs always do the work to fix bugs, add new features / requests, upgrade to new platform / API etc. If they do this for free that is at their will but they are burning their own time / money one way or another. To demand a developer to run their business a certain way and mandate their business model is just mind-blowing to me.

If humans went extinct, what would the Earth look like one year later?

it would be quite nice if humans disappeared from the planet...

"Nice" is a human concept so if all human beings are gone, is it really "nice" and does it matter?

Because Mother Earth don't give a F. Most of what we say about saving the Earth is in the sense of making it sustainably habitable for us humans and not to f up the economy too badly.

Mother Earth don't care if it gets 30 degrees hotter and if the atmosphere turns into sulfuric acid because for the vast majority of its lifetime, it's been human free anyways.
