I kinda agree that very early, small teams, should be in person. But OpenAI has ~375 employees. They're 7 years old. A team of that size has hierarchy, it has middle management. There's plenty of room to have people working remotely in that size of an org. Especially when it increases your hiring pool so much. If you just need hackers, throw a net in Palo Alto and you'll catch 5. But if you need the best person to implement a infiniband backbone who also has familiarity with sparse network training? Well they live in Finland. Luckily we don't have to rely on gurus or influencers to decide this. Companies will succeed or they won't and my bet is that plenty will succeed with significant remote headcount and Altman will be shown to be wrong.
