You have to give credit to Sam, he’s charismatic enough to the right people to climb man made corporate structures. He was also smart enough to be at the right place at the right time to enrich himself (Silicon Valley). He seems to be pretty good at cutting deals. Unfortunately all of the above seems to be at odds with having any sort of moral core.
Ermmm what?
He and his personality caused people like Ilya to leave. At that point the failure risk of OAI jumped tremendously. The reality he will have to face is, he has caused OAIs demise.
Perhaps hes ok with that as long as OAI goes down with him. Would expect nothing less from him.
Ilya took a swing at the king and missed. It would have been awkward to hang around after that debacle.
And what has Ilya done since? Genuinely curious.
All these people are replaceable lol, they’re employee tier. If they’re not CEO then they’re not that important. You might disagree but that’s why there’s 1 guy at the helm (being reductive here, use your brain and actually stop over thinking but the board chose him or whatever) and everyone else follows him. If someone leaves you get another one.
