Tonight, I explained the historic significance of @KamalaHarris 's election as VP to my 4-year-old twin daughters. One proclaimed "This calls for a dance party!" So we had one. It was epic.

OpenAI investors (like @Microsoft ) need to step up and demand that the governance weaknesses at @OpenAI be fixed. Yes, they should do right by @sama . But, regardless, decisions around leadership & direction in a technology as important as fire and electricity can't be decided by…

“Don’t forget to send me that photo!” How many times have you said that? And, how often have you actually gotten the photo? Maybe 20% of the time? The reality is photo sharing is broken. (1/12)

Most companies of @OpenAI 's size and consequence have boards of 8-15 directors, most of whom are independent and all of whom has more board experience at this scale than the 4 independent directors at @OpenAI .

I've read that @sama is asking for governance changes (which is completely appropriate). But it shouldn't just be the board resigning. I'm fundamentally an AI optimist and realizing the structural flaws in @openAI 's governance has given me serious pause.

I’m sad too - the crazy governance model allowed this to happen. The fact that Ilya now regrets just shows how broken and underadvised they are/were. They call them board deliberations because you are supposed to be deliberate.

This makes me so optimistic. For a public company CEO to be so specific about timelines - all of which are in the next 5 weeks (35 days) - means he has to have a very high level of confidence that this is likely to happen. My take: Pfizer vaccine could be available by January.
