  Of course hopefully workers start to wake up to the leverage they can have over just about anything after seeing the “openai is nothing without its workers” organizing going on Because these hierarchies ultimately aren’t in their interest or the interest of customers, and are only as inflexible as workers allow them to be

    So interesting that the same event has several spins right now: - OpenAI is nothing without Sam Altman - OpenAI is nothing without its workers (following Sam Altman) - OpenAI is nothing without its workers (Sam Altman is just a figurehead) A glitch in the Matrix?

      Without commenting on the purpose and goal of the organizing, it is a display of worker leverage gained through organizing

        Yeah, but it kind of taints the picture that they rally under the banner of a Lord.

          Consider he may not be a lord but a friend and colleague they value and may feel was treated unfairly.

            I value all my 500 friends.

      That's a bit of a false dichotomy - just because they follow Sam Altman doesn't mean they can be incompetent. OpenAI was successful because of the rare mix of leadership with a vision and competent workers to back it up. Sam leaves, the vision dies. Workers leave, the product dies.
