I just read "Ego, Fear and Money: How the A.I. Fuse Was Lit" https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/03/technology/ai-openai-musk-page-altman.html?unlocked_article_code=1.DE0.pUkn.sv7oZCK-dy7b&hpgrp=c-abar&smid=url-share https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/03/technology/ai-openai-musk... In discussing OpenAI the article reveals why OpenAI is the size it is: OpenAI was created before LLMs were so popular, so OpenAI has a diverse employee pool of AI people. Many, if not most, were hired NOT for LLM or even NN knowledge but for knowledge of the more general field of AI. Were you an OpenAI exec who fervently believed LLMs would take you to true AI then there would be every reason to dump the non-LLM employees (likely a majority and a financial burden) and hire new staff who are more LLM-knowledgeable. At the same time, current OpenAI staff not familiar with LLMs are undoubtedly cramming!8-)) So that satisfies my question as to why OpenAI has so many people: only a fraction of the company produced the current hot products.
