I really don't care who the CEO/CTO/CFO of any company is. Why is this whole thing blowing up that much on ycombinator?

- Solvency 3y agoMuch more like Succession. But again. Nerdier.
- meitham 3y agoUnfortunately the “great man theory” is still going strong in the 21st century. Just like Steve Jobs has invented the iPhone people believe he invented GPT!
- dalbasal 3y agoIs the alternative theory that the ownership, control and leadership of OpenAI is immaterial?
- meitham 3y agoOpenAI success is unfortunately largely based on the one ruthless decision to ignore ethics and train the model on the work of millions of artists and authors. I don’t know if Sam himself was behind this decision. I doubt Aaron Schwartz would have done the same.
- dalbasal 3y agoOk... So the alternative to great man theory, in this case, is terrible man theory... I'm not following. If focusing on control over openai, is great man theory... What's the contrary notion?
- jazzyjackson 3y agoIt wouldn't be interesting if one CEO got fired and replaced, but the fact that there's a different CEO every couple of days and no one knows what will happen next. The uncertainty is addictive, not to mention the scale of self-destruction. See also: trainwrecks.
