at this point returning would make the situation worse. better a completely fresh start if openai is to have a future.

No, not necessarily any more than Steve Jobs returning to Apple made it worse.

What’s up with comparing altman to steve jobs? He’s well behind him on the scale of leadership, inspiration, vision, and not to mention he had little to no contribution to ai, other than a crypto style aggressive marketing campaign, sprinkled with fud fomo and gaslighting.

Agreed. The cult of personality seems to have a strong grip on the US zeitgeist.

Technology is the new religion and Musk/Altman are the new messiahs, with Jobs and Gates as the patron saints.

It’s mostly just this site and the SV delusion it’s connected with. I’d bet if you ask random Americans, they would have no idea who Altman even is.

Nah, you can replace Sam with a deity of choice depending on the group, ex. Taylor Swift.

As organized religion recedes, people fill the vacuum with gods of their own making.
