This claim on the press had zero substance. It could well be, but there were no wide resignations or anything. Just 4 execs.
OTOH, Altman going for the high score could bump employee TCO 10x. So who knows. Passion vs greed.
What's there to be passionate about in a doomed business? Where is OpenAI going to get compute from? What work are they going to get done if everybody else follows Altman?
