Getting fired and rehired throughout five days of history-making corporate incompetence, and Sam's letter is just telling everyone how great they are. Ha.
- labster 3y agoIt might be history making for corporations, but it’s only slightly below average competence for a non-profit board.
- stingraycharles 3y agoAs he should, in his public communication. Talking bad about anyone would only reflect poorly on Sam. In private, I can only assume he’s a lot less diplomatic.
- rmbyrro 3y agoHe doesn't look like the guy into revenge. He seems extremely goal focused and motivated. The kind of person that'd put this behind him very fast to save energy for what matters.
- preommr 3y ago> He doesn't look like the guy into revenge. How do you know this? Idk why this is the comment that broke the camel's back for me, but all over this site people have been making character determinations about people from a million miles away through the filter of their public personas.
- 93po 3y agoThis is perpetually one of my last favorite patterns in humans. Declaring someone an idiot when they’ve never met them and they’re one of the most powerful and influential people on the planet. Not referring to Sam here.
- bdhe 3y agoIf you refer to Trump, when people say idiot, I don't think they refer to his intelligence in the sense of appealing to people's base instincts - he clearly has good political intelligence. It refers to his understanding of subjects, his clarity of thought and expression, and often a judgment of his morals, principles, and ethics. If you don't - there was no need to be coy. And you act as if failing up never happens in real life.
- 93po 3y agoIt's a reference to most any major political figure. Someone somewhere thinks they're an idiot, and usually a lot of people. And most of them don't have the nuance you have. They think they're universally legitimately stupid people. Failing up definitely happens but given the massive number of failures you'd have to succeed through to be US president, as an example, it's not what's happening there.
- sundarurfriend 3y agoDoesn't mean we on the outside can't call BS out for what it is.
- rmbyrro 3y agoI think they (OpenAI as a whole) showed themselves as a loyal, cohesive and motivated group. That is not ordinary.

- 7e 3y agoIt sounds like he’s knows he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and is trying to manipulate and ingratiate before the other shoe drops. Kind of like a teen who fucked up and has just been hauled in front of their parents to face the music.
