He's been good and bad for this field. Good: - Attracted a lot of attention, investment, and engineering to this field. It's unlikely we'd be where we are today without OpenAI shocking the world with its demos. - Built some salient products like ChatGPT Bad: - Tried to get congress to create a regulatory moat for AI (perhaps when he realized there was no moat for himself) - Tried to dry up funding for other startups (again to try to create a moat) - Over-hypes and over-promises what his team has done and what can be delivered (a boon to his fundraising, but making funding frothy and disconnected from fundamentals) - Engaged in very public-facing drama around his board, his company's nonprofit status, etc. - Telling congress he has no equity in OpenAI and is doing everything with no reward, yet driving around in a $5M Koenigsegg Regera supercar and getting a generous comp package put together for the new corporate governance structure. - Creepy stuff like eyeball-scanning Worldcoin is pitched as essential in a post-AGI world, but transacting on non-revocable biomarkers seems like some 90's televangelist's sermon about the "Mark of the Beast"
