Wow. I was skeptical but this unusually long chain of strangers being interested in Hecktor S. Wilson and replying to each other without actually replying to the comment directly, unlike any normal youtube comment chain interaction, has changed my mind! I will be investing with Mr. Wilson. I'll give him everything I own: A half lit cigarette and a pack of gum with 3 sticks left.

I'd say that Morning Brew is quite a consumer-friendly company.

I have been following the OpenAI drama nonstop since Friday, and this is BY FAR the best most succinct reporting yet! I’m floored. Most news anchors haven’t a clue what they’re talking about when it comes to tech. I wasn’t expecting real actual reporting at the depth and understanding you presented it in. Oh, and hilarious BTW! I needed a good laugh after all the depressing OpenAI news lately. Thank you!

Really appreciate how this channel masterfully threads the needle between Ron Burgundy, Chris Hansen and Barbara Walters.

if there's anything important that I learn from my Corporate Law class: 1. As a founder you need to classify your class of shares and define the kinds of rights granted for holding specific class of share (e.g., Class A/B/C stock) 2. Preventing hostile acquisition by having poison pill provision on the company's Bylaws 3. Careful negotiation when negotiating with VC/PE/Angel Investor on the investment terms & conditions

[@Baconator1368]

None of that is really relevant here, right?

The entire company is designed from the start against exactly that

The company started as a non-profit. It created a capped-profit subsidiary to take on outside investment (because training big AI is hella expensive) with the nonprofit still having full control. Sam does not own any shares (of the profit arm) and neither does the board.

Wow, Dan, this breakdown is poppin' with tech drama, it's like watching "The Social Network" in real time.

Waiting for the sequel - perhaps your next Thanksgiving dinner will feature Microsoft's new AI division? Keep us posted, mate!
