I don't have time now to read the post but that's not surprising at all. First, Open AI has much stronger people than the average academic so they will work with better people. Second, Open AI pays 3-4 times what a junior professor makes. Finally, academia became so obsessed with industry in recent years that they are too toxic. In deep learning most of the important papers in recent years came from industry. Then academics realized they are behind so they published papers on how dangerous those things are. We all know who is laughing now.
