- spectramax 7y agoWithout meaning offense to Sam, I thought he was an investor / YC head. What credentials does he have to be at OpenAI?
- jayparth 7y agoPerhaps founding the initiative....
- visarga 7y agoTeaching the CS231n course at Stanford, for one.
- spectramax 7y agoThanks, that makes sense. So now the question is - how did Sam become a YC/Angel investor from someone who taught a class at Stanford? I think we need an interview with Sam.
- mkagenius 7y agoHe did? I only knew of 183B which is "How to start a startup"
- _cs2017_ 7y agoAndrej Karpathy taught cs231n. The question is about Sam Altman who didn't teach anything related to NL. He's on the board of OpenAI because he was one of its founding investors.
- new_realist 7y agoElon Musk poached him, and for that was kicked off the OpenAI board.
- Pazzaz 7y agoI've never heard that that was the reason for Elon leaving the OpenAI board. The official announcement said "As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon." Do you have a source?
- slim 7y agothat statement is the politically correct version of "poached an employee"
