Altman and Brockman are on the MBA side of things. The ML magic was Ilya's. If they can recruit a bunch of mini Ilya's over from Open AI, maybe they have a chance at regaining the momentum.

- boppo1 3y agoWtf? Isn't he on the board?
- samspenc 3y agoIlya signed a letter asking 4 members of the board to resign, including Ilya himself. He even posted a public apology for his actions on X https://twitter.com/ilyasut/status/1726590052392956028 https://twitter.com/ilyasut/status/1726590052392956028 Yes, this is probably the biggest self-own in corporate history.
