A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Grab your favourite beverage; this is a long piece, but it provides a fair amount of insight on the pre-Thanksgiving imbroglio.

If the board refused to do either, the Microsoft executives would move to Plan B: using their company’s considerable leverage—including the billions of dollars it had pledged to OpenAI but had not yet handed over—to help get Altman reappointed as C.E.O., and to reconfigure OpenAI’s governance by replacing board members. Someone close to this conversation told me, “From our perspective, things had been working great, and OpenAI’s board had done something erratic, so we thought, ‘Let’s put some adults in charge and get back to what we had.’ ”

And you're about to trust copilot with your info after them openly saying "we can do whatever the fuck we want" 😂?

Oof. Sorry! I forget my suite of extensions masks paywalls sometimes.

I honestly don't know which one(s) are effective at it. NoScript seems to do a pretty good job, which was an unexpected bonus when I first got it.

Ooh, I'm looking forward to reading this - this whole fiasco seemed so ridiculous and dramatic and hilarious to me. Thanks for sharing it here! Also, great usage of the fun word "imbroglio!"
