The board destroyed the company in one fell swoop. He's right to feel regret.
Personally, I don't think that Altman was that big of an impact, he was all business, no code, and the world is acting like the business side is the true enabler. But, the market has spoken, and the move has driven the actual engineers to side with Altman.
- hannofcart 3y agoSorry, but how has the market spoken? Not sure how that would be possible considering that OpenAI is a private company. If anyone is speaking up it's the OpenAI team.
- rockemsockem 3y agoTalent exists in a market too
- dylan604 3y agoRight, the job market has spoken and it now looks like nobody wants to be part of OAI and much rather be part of MSFT
- somethingor 3y agoHow does it look like that?
- dylan604 3y agoThe fact that an overwhelming number of employees signed a letter of intent to quit and would join MSFT instead? How does it not look like that?
- somethingor 3y agoThanks, wasn’t aware of that context
- politelemon 3y ago> The board destroyed the company in one fell swoop. I'm just not familiar enough to understand, is it really destroyed or is this just a minor bump in OpenAI's reputation? They still have GPT 3.5/4 and ChatGPT which is very popular. They can still attract talent to work there. They should be good if they just proceed with business as usual?
- astrange 3y agoThey have ~770 employees and so far ~500 of them have promised to quit. It's a lot less appealing if you're not going to make millions, or have billions in donated Azure credits.
- strikelaserclaw 3y agotrue but it takes a lot of money to run openai / chatgpt
