This is a dumb take, most of the general population don't even know who Sam Altman is.

Whoever had to do with ChatGPT most is the reason OpenAI is where it is today.

if they don't screw up again, it will eventually be forgotten as all things are and business as usual.

I'm sure they can get funding at this point if needed.

Well to be considered a genius in the ranks of Steve Jobs, you need to succeed more than once. If he can't do it a second time, then he'd be known as the guy who fails upward.

Apparently Sam's idol growing up was Steve Jobs so this checks out.

Altman is NOT a household name. ChatGPT is in the western world to some extent.

I mean, maybe Ilya really believes that AGI will happen and should benefit all people not just rich / powerful.

Who knows how these shady deals go, even SBF claimed effective altruism. Maybe Sam wasn't in it for the money but more for "being the man", spoken of in the same breath as steve jobs, bill gates etc... for building a great co

Our stupid monkey brains are evolved to work in a primitive, human centric way, we always need a "figure", a "leader" to look up to, we can't comprehend that many people can be involved in something, that doesn&#x27

A least let some idealism exist in this world otherwise we'd all be owned by corporations. It is not always about money.

why do you think one company will determine whether the us beats china in ai or not ? Like 75% of the authors i read on AI papers are Chinese, that should be far more alarming if you really are afraid of china getting ahead.

he was one of Geoff Hintons students, involved in alexnet, worked on early days of google brain. Ilya is one of the most "distinguished" ml researchers in the world today and i feel like he has a lot more to contribute.

He's the michael corelone

by strikelaserclaw 3y ago
he seems like a more credible source than random people with no real ml experience

When two people have different ideologies and neither is willing to backdown or compromise, one person must "go".

he seems highly proficient at technical stuff, i remember reading his blog about how he taught him self all the latest ML stuff.

hope the scientists win, money men have made too much money off the ideas of others. They just pool money, hedge their bets and wait for a whale.

Not necessary if you can make sure the builders can do their jobs without disturbance.

Just look at how this news is doing on reddit (a service i conflate a little more with the general public than hacker news which learns towards silicon valley technology) and you can easily see the truth of your statement.

Sam studied at Stanford for a year

Yea cause Steve Jobs dying stopped apple from becoming a juggernaut. People need to stop idolizing the fact that one or two people are "indispensable". Humanity moves forward eventually, even if Einstein wasn't born, someone

he wasn't a very good face, most of my friends don't recognize who sam is, they know what chatgpt is though.

by strikelaserclaw 3y ago
what did he do before open ai? (Which was founded by a lot more people than Sam). A genius in my opinion needs to have a track record of incredible things, key point being "track".
117.
by strikelaserclaw 3y ago
like SBF and his effective altruism?
118.
by strikelaserclaw 3y ago
I'm of the firm opinion that the heavy lifting at open ai is doing by the scientists but of courses ceos like to applaud themselves on the back for doing the "tough" job.

i was replying more to "the ceo doesn't have AI/ML experience"

Sam Altman isn't the brains in OpenAI, it is the research scientists and engineers. Just take care of the rest of the company and let these geniuses do what they do, thats the role for the ceo.
