OpenAI Board: "You're fired!"
Altman: "Are you sure about that?"
OpenAI Board: "I apologize for the confusion in my previous answer. You are hired. We are fired."
New instance means I should be able to migrate my network, but all the old posts will remain captive on an old server. This is a good argument for POSSE, I suppose, but I'd prefer even "throwaway" posts to have permanent URLs.
