SBF's biggest problem was that he got caught (and became famous) before he could do the work necessary to clean things up. There's tons of grey/hinky stuff that goes on inside companies starting up. These companies either die, get acquired, or professionals are brought in to clean it up before it goes public.
FWIW I think Sam is an honest actor here though. No real funny business with OpenAI.
- stephc_int13 3y agoI've seen similar comment about SBF being genuine and solid here on HN before the whole scandal. I don't think this is the same story, life is more complicated than that, but I don't see why I should blindly trust Altman because he seems like a good guy.
- JohnFen 3y ago> No real funny business with OpenAI. Well, except for the funny business such as backpedaling on being "open", trying to be a billion dollar company while pretending they aren't trying to be a billion dollar company, etc. And with Sam Altman personally, it's really, really hard for me to get past all that WorldCoin stuff and pretend it never happened.
