I’m surprised that nobody has brought up that Altman was busy this summer dumping his nuclear startup Oklo onto the public market via a SPAC. He seems to be a talented fundraiser and dealmaker and not so much of a singleminded visionary who wants to spend the next decade perfecting the details of AGI. Maybe the right place for him is focusing on his next few startups.

There isn't a single element of magic or secret sauce to Sam Altman in the AI space. So yeah. Have him mess around in more startups and raise cash for them.

It's really hard to pull the right people together and sweet talk them into walking away from all the other incredible things they're working on, but it might be the single most important thing that an executive at a new, growing company has to do.
