Money always wins.
- bell-gwen 5mo agoTrue.
- Sol- 5mo agoCome on, he definitely has more money than he needs given his past employers. For someone with his creative output, he probably just enjoys having an environment to build and explore.
- moralestapia 5mo agoYour argument contradicts itself. If money was not an issue he could just build that environment for himself.
- CooCooCaCha 5mo agoDo you have any idea how much it costs to build a frontier model and how much money it takes to enable R&D at the cutting edge?
- HDThoreaun 5mo agoNo, money is not the only barrier to building things. I think karoathy could build his own lab if he wanted, but it would be years of doing things he doesn’t want. Why waste time running a business when he’d rather be researching?
- 0123456789ABCDE 5mo agoi can play by myself, or i can join some friends, and make the play more joyful
- skeledrew 5mo agoThe overhead of maintaining and running things isn't interesting to most creative folk. They'd rather others deal with the minutiae (managing a company, etc) so they can focus on their thing.
- whiplash451 5mo agoYou can’t build “working with amazing people”. At least not in a short amount of time. I bet that this was a significant part of the decision for Andrej.
- resiros 5mo agoI don't think this is true. He strikes me as a person motivated by curiosity and interesting problems.
- lucketone 5mo agoStill, one can buy lot of interesting problems with that money.
- martingalex2 5mo agoIt's the only way he could get more tokens beyond the Max 20x plan lol.
- United857 5mo agoAs a OpenAI founder he already is long past the point of money being a consideration.
- brcmthrowaway 5mo agoThe 2010s founders, how much are they worth?
