Nice grift by Sam Altman taking all the donations and good will a non profit gets just to flip 180.

He probably would have done the same with his crypto scam startup worldcoin if it would not have failed in every way before he could scam.

and think of all the talks he is going to do in the future about "hard work" and "ethics" and "innovation"

I'm sure they did work hard and the product is innovative from my understanding of the definition of the word but oh boy does the whole "ethics" theater manage to infuriate me...

The worst part is that Altman had nothing to do with the success of Open AI. He simply failed upwards into this job, thanks to his Paul Graham friendship and YC connection.

We will see Altman all over the place while all the hardwork was done by actual scientists at Open AI who have barely spoken.

His “YC connection” was running YC and being responsible for making it something like 100 times bigger than it was before him?

Yes. YC was very well established when he took over after failing with Loopt. YC is paulg and Morris brainchild. You might want to check on the 100X number again. And that's not how success is measured anyway.
