In case anyone was scrolling by and is interested the quote is a bit misleading out of context, Marx isn’t saying we should do this, he is more saying that capitalism requires “us” to do this, while telling us if we just stop eating avocado toast we too could become part of the billionaire class. While of course they themselves would never live without these supposed needless things.

Read it in context here Need, Production and Division of Labor, this link is directly to the section the quote is from but in my opinion the formatting isn't as good.

It depends on how fancy of a website you are trying to make. But check out something like Hugo or Jekyll. I haven’t used Jekyll personally but have used Hugo. There are plenty of templates to get you started depending the type of content you are planning on putting up.

And the best part is you can host the site for free on GitHub or Gitlab, so the domain name is the only cost.

The MPC is a standalone unit. It is a DAW so you don’t need a PC. You can make an entire song on it without ever needing a pc or external editing software, you can connect instruments mics right to it. It’s basically a portable studio.

You can even download updates, instruments, sample kits right on the unit.

It is annoying tho since they started adding features to the PC version of the software that aren’t available in the standalone versions. But you get access to them if you own the hardware.

If you have libreOffice installed I believe you can edit pdfs in Draw.

You can also try Inkscape.

To the Board of Directors at OpenAl,

OpenAl is the world's leading Al company. We, the employees of OpenAl, have developed the best models and pushed the field to new frontiers. Our work on Al safety and governance shapes global norms. The products we built are used by millions of people around the world. Until now, the company we work for and cherish has never been in a stronger position.

The process through which you terminated Sam Altman and removed Greg Brockman from the board has jeopardized all of this work and undermined our mission and company. Your conduct has made it clear you did not have the competence to oversee OpenAl.

When we all unexpectedly learned of your decision, the leadership team of OpenAl acted swiftly to stabilize the company. They carefully listened to your concerns and tried to cooperate with you on all grounds. Despite many requests for specific facts for your allegations, you have never provided any written evidence. They also increasingly realized you were not capable of carrying out your duties, and were negotiating in bad faith.

The leadership team suggested that the most stabilizing path forward - the one that would best serve our mission, company, stakeholders, employees and the public - would be for you to resign and put in place a qualified board that could lead the company forward in stability. Leadership worked with you around the clock to find a mutually agreeable outcome. Yet within two days of your initial decision, you again replaced interim CEO Mira Murati against the best interests of the company. You also informed the leadership team that allowing the company to be destroyed "would be consistent with the mission."

Your actions have made it obvious that you are incapable of overseeing OpenAl. We are unable to work for or with people that lack competence, judgement and care for our mission and employees. We, the undersigned, may choose to resign from OpenAl and join the newly announced Microsoft subsidiary run by Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAl employees at this new subsidiary should we choose to join. We will take this step imminently, unless all current board members resign, and the board appoints two new lead independent directors, such as Bret Taylor and Will Hurd, and reinstates Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.

  1. Mira Murati
  2. Brad Lightcap
  3. Jason Kwon
  4. Wojciech Zaremba
  5. Alec Radford
  6. Anna Makanju
  7. Bob McGrew
  8. Srinivas Narayanan
  9. Che Chang
  10. Lillian Weng
  11. Mark Chen
