can someone please enumerate what so many people like and admire about Sam Altman?
as far as I can tell, his career was:
1. get VC funding for his silly startup, which goes nowhere and is shut down
1. get a job at Y Combinator handing out other people's money
1. get sacked from Y Combinator for unclear reasons
1. get a job at OpenAI as the CEO, not a product or engineering person
what particular things has he, personally, done that make him so popular and admired on this site?
- sponaugle 3y agoAs far as this particular post from Sam, who cares? Judge something by that something, not by who said it. If it is advice that is good, it is good. It isn't good because it comes from someone you like. It is good because it is good. Content is what matters, not the credentials of the author. Lots of people with great credentials say stupid things... and smart things...
