The worst part is that Altman had nothing to do with the success of Open AI. He simply failed upwards into this job, thanks to his Paul Graham friendship and YC connection.
We will see Altman all over the place while all the hardwork was done by actual scientists at Open AI who have barely spoken.
- kunalgupta 4y agoHis “YC connection” was running YC and being responsible for making it something like 100 times bigger than it was before him?
- random314 4y agoYes. YC was very well established when he took over after failing with Loopt. YC is paulg and Morris brainchild. You might want to check on the 100X number again. And that's not how success is measured anyway.
