I know I won't get a lot of love for this, but Sam is a really good person. I don't know him well, but I've known him since long before OpenAI.

He's not perfect, but behind the scenes he's a genuine and upstanding person. I've met lots of wealthy smart people, and he's the only exception. He was the only person I trusted in this situation, and I'm genuinely nervous that he's no longer running OpenAI.

I first heard of him through the WorldCoin stuff, and nothing about that made him look like an upstanding person. That whole thing was/is shady as hell.

I certainly don't know him, but I see more reasons not to trust him than to trust him.

I'd never heard of that, but that definitely sounds shady. Thanks for mentioning it. To save people a search: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worldcoin

Why would someone running OpenAI possibly be involved in something so unnecessarily speculative and unrelated?

I ask that question leaving out any of the socio-economic and privacy concerns around that project.
