I’d be surprised if Sam does. He’s free now to compete and defeat with a huge equity stake.

- mirzap 3y agoWe could be witnessing another Apple-Jobs moment. He could go and pursue other interests, but I have a feeling that he deeply cares about OpenAI. If that's the case, he will be back eventually, just as Jobs returned to Apple repeatedly.
- LightMachine 3y agoCompletely different situation. Jobs couldn't just fundraise for his new Oranges company, lure all the talent out of Apple and outcompete it at that point. Sam can do that to OpenAI in a blink if that's his plans.
- cthalupa 3y agoI'm kind of confused where the confidence comes from that Sam could somehow lure all of the talent out of OpenAI. One of the most important technical talents was apparently the key player in Sam's ouster to begin with, and we have no idea if these three people are leaving because they want to follow Sam or because they want to avoid the drama that is sure to follow, or how much of the rest of the talent feels even remotely like they do.

- ksherlock 3y agoSteve Jobs did take a bunch of Apple employees with him to NeXT. All of them, no, but enough to build something better than what Apple had built.
- andomiz2 3y agoNo I don't think he really is free to compete. I think three letter agencies pulled the plug after his disturbing performance in Congress and attempt to strong arm the US government. It made me physically sick to watch.
