Ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
I'm calling it right now: there's a Microsoft/OpenAI breakup imminent (over ownership, rights, GTM etc) that's going to be extremely contested and cause OpenAI to go into a Stability AI type tailspin.

Re:Ask HN: What happened to Larry Page? on Monday September 02, 2024 @06:01PM (#41429141)
In an interview from ~2016 I believe he said the continuous damage of his vocal chords had largely been stopped (not cured, AFAIK Hashimoto's does not have a permanent cure) and he said specifically: "this is the worst it will be". I will try to find that interview, I believe it was the one with Charlie Rose.
