It seems to me that in the grand scheme of things, this firing will be a side note. The people with the knowledge continue to exist, and the cat is out now. Everybody knows about the huge potential that's ripe for pickings in this field. I really doubt that this huge structural pressure will be flattened by a CEO losing his job.

In which case, the weakening of OpenAI (or simply a change of trajectory) could be very significant to this historical trajectory. More control vs less control is a very important knob to turn, and it's just been turned if power shifts from OpenAI's closed model approach to players pushing open models. It's up to each person to decide if this is good or bad *shrug* I personally am unsure, but I worry Sam's departure is bad news for our trajectory. (Though I also feared his influence, as I fear anyone with heavy influence.)
