This.
Anyone who thought Sam Altman wasn’t in it for the money from the start, was being naive. In the extreme. Not only Mr Altman, but most of the people giving the larger donations were hoping for a hit as well. Why is that so incredible to people? How else would you get that kind of money to fund a ludicrously speculative research based endeavor? You don’t even know if it’s possible before the research. What else could they have done?
- justinbaker84 2y agoI think that is the case with Sam, but not Ilya and probably not with some of the other founders.

- maeil 2y agoAgreed, hence why he scammed people into believing he was in it for the "good of humanity" - 1. Get donors 2. Get bright minds in the space (e.g. Ilya) with such ideals to work for him.
