I think it means that the Twitterverse got it wrong from the beginning. It wasn’t Ilya and his safety faction that did in OpenAI, it was Quora’s Adam D'Angelo and his competing Poe app. Ilya must have been successfully pressured and assured by Microsoft, but Adam must have held his ground.
- samspenc 3y agoDang I completely forgot that D'Angelo and Quora have a product that directly competes with ChatGPT in the form of Poe. Wouldn't that make this a conflict of interest, sitting on the board while running a competing product - and making a decision at the company he is on the board of to destroy said company and benefit his own product?
- dougmwne 3y agoThat certainly seems to be the scenario and explains his willingness to go scorched earth. I wonder what the motivations of the other 2 board members are. Could they just be burn it down AI Doomers?

- zyang 3y agoThere were some rumors in the beginning that Adam D'Angelo used similar tactics to push out Quora cofounders. I thought it was too wild to be true.
