Through all of this, no one has cogently explained why Altman leaving is such a big deal. Why would workers immediately quit their job when he has no other company, and does he even know who these workers are? Are these people that desperate to make a buck (or the prospect of big bucks)? It seems like half of the people working at the non-profit were not actually concerned about the mission but rather just waiting out their turn for big bucks and fame.

What does Altman bring to the table besides raising money from foreign governments and states, apparently? I just do not understand all of this. Like, how does him leaving and getting replaced by another CEO the next week really change anything at the ground level other than distractions from the mission being gone?

And the outpouring of support for someone who was clearly not operating how he marketed himself publicly is strange and disturbing indeed.

100% spot on.

The world is filled with Sam Altmans, but surely not enough Ilya Sutskevers.

>>fevang+mm
Was Sutskever really that instrumental to OpenAI's success, if it was at all possible for him to be surprised at the direction the company is taking. It doesn't seem that he is that involved in the day-to-day operations.

Is operations responsible for their success? Or is it rather their technology?

>>modele+7o
I understand that we was instrumental in the earlier days, but does it seem like he is involved in the day-to-day work on the technology, today? When the new CEO advocates for a near-pause in AI development, does he mean operations?
