I'm guessing Altman had a bunch of experienced ML researchers writing CRUD apps and LLM toys instead of actual AI research and they weren't too happy. Personally I would be pissed as a researcher if the company took a turn and started in on improved marketing blurbs LLMs or whatever.
- Solvency 3y agoIf every jackass brain dead move Elon Musk has ever made hasnt gotten him fired yet, then allocating too many teams to side projects instead of AI research should not be a fireable offense.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoMusk was fired as CEO of X/PayPal.
- dragonwriter 3y agoFired as the CEO of X twice, the last time right before it became PayPal.
- bertil 3y agoI would be shocked if that was the case. There are plenty of people I know from FAANG, now at OpenAI, where they do product design, operation, and DevOps at scale —all complicated, valuable, and worthwhile endeavors in their own right— that don’t need to get in the way of research. They are just the kind of talent that can operate a business with 90% margins to pay for that research. Could there be requests or internal projects that are less exciting for some people? Sure, but it’s not very hard to set up Chinese Walls, priorities, etc. Every one of those people had to deal with similar concerns at previous companies and would know how to apply the right principles.
