I'm a Software Engineering Manager with ~11 years of industry experience, 5 of which are as an Engineering Manager. I've worked in SME and early-stage startups, and seen a company grow from 10 to 700 employees. I'm not looking for something in the early stages, maybe 50-100 employees without aggressive growth would be ideal.
Not a lawyer, but my reading of this was quite different. It seems to me like the core of the argument is that "OpenAI" wants non-profit benefits while clearly profiting. While the complaint document itself is verbose, I imagine this is the kind of thing that eventually contributes to setting a precedent for how training data is handled in the legal system as well?
IANAL too, but if there is indeed a legal case for material misrepresentation, it would make more sense to be brought by OpenAI shareholders or the FTC, not some random dude from Texas.

The case is for material misrepesentation to benefit OpenAI shareholders at the expense of the identified intended beneficiaries of (and donors to) the OpenAI nonprofit. Why would the beneficiaries of the fraud challenge it?
> or the FTC, not some random dude from Texas.
The law often creates multiple different parties with a legitimate and enforceable interewt in the same requirement; while the plaintiff here doesn’t have the strongest standing claim in the world, it is not diminished for thr fact that some of the allegations create much stronger claims for, say, the IRS and state tax authorities or donors to the nonprofit (particularly the accusations of the nonprofit being fraudulently organized and operated for self-dealing for the commercial benefit of certain of its organizers.)
That will probably be an early point of litigation, does the non-profit’s behavior of depriving you from these tools like GPT4 amount to damages such that you have standing to bring this case. So that's a huge hurdle. Might be why it's brought pro se.
In some ways it's a more powerful result if plaintiff prevails though, as it dramatically increases the amount of legal stakeholders in the activity of OpenAI... “You filed as a non-profit, now if you start acting like a for-profit, anyone who is systematically excluded from your business dealings can sue you.”
This is the kind of thing that gets thrown out of court. And that is the judge feels sorry for the person who filed the suit. It is also possible th person who filed gets hit with not only court fees, but also paying for 5-10 hours of a lot of high priced lawyers for the defendants.
> If you close your Mac notebook with a camera cover installed, you might damage your display because the clearance between the display and keyboard is designed to very tight tolerances.
Yep, this is exactly how the screen on my 16" cracked. I'd rather have a 0.5mm thicker laptop where I can actually cover up the camera.
These UX problems aside, am I the only one who feels like the latest generation has performance problems? My 2013 Air ran DotA, Sublime, iTerm and Chrome just fine. The 13" 2017 Pro that I'm using now heats up if I'm just using Sublime, and the fan even turns on. The 13" 2015 Pro didn't have this problem either.
Consider the possibility that you have a faulty one. It does happen. Apple, like every other manufacturer, will be resistant to the suggestion, though.
Fwiw, I don't experience anything like what you describe on a 16GB 2017 13" without touchbar.
> On the other hand it's good for consumers who would otherwise have wasted money.
Which is a really good thing. Studios should have some monetary incentive to make things that people actually want. I actually had a headache after Expendables 3.

You say that like it's simple to do. The first two Expendables movies apparently were good enough that the economics warranted a 3rd. Do you think the people at the studio were thinking "let's make this one The Unwatchables, instead?" Sometimes problems are obvious ahead of time, but more often only seem so with the benefit of hindsight.
No, they got greedy and decided it had to be PG-13 to try to sell more tickets. After watering down the content, it didn't do well as the rated R ones before it. Not that big a surprise when you're not blinded by dollar signs.
You say greedy, maybe they say attempting to expand the appeal of the franchise to a wider audience. It's economically advantageous for them, sure, but maybe they thought consumers would actually like it.
Remote: Yes please.
Willing to relocate: Unlikely.
Technologies: Javascript, Node.js, React, Mobx, MySQL, and the usual stuff like git.
Résumé/CV: Will share if requested.
