More new information from Swisher:

> "More scoopage: sources tell me chief scientist Ilya Sutskever was at the center of this. Increasing tensions with Sam Altman and Greg Brockman over role and influence and he got the board on his side."

> "The developer day and how the store was introduced was in inflection moment of Altman pushing too far, too fast. My bet: He’ll have a new company up by Monday."

> My bet: He’ll have a new company up by Monday.

Apart from some piddly tech, silicon valley startups primarily sell stock. And a monday company will be free to capitalize on the hype and sell stock that won't have its shoelaces tied like a non profit.
No doubt Sam will have another AI company up in no time.

Which is good!

It's very good, competition is all you need.
I thought that [regulatory] attention is all you need.
That too, otherwise ASI could be another PTFE and asbestos moment but on crack
I doubt that there will be any ASI in the near future, with or without regulation.
