What is Sam's actual value re: AI and not just as a CEO/salesman-evangelist to get funding, which Microsoft doesn't need?

Is he particularly apt at leading/managing research teams? OpenAI's slow productization doesn't imply he's a product/idea guy a la Jobs.

Leadership - To stay top of the game, you can't just rely on brunch of engineers, but a person/team to pull everything into shape. Seeing how many employees are leaving for sama, you get the sense.

>>alvis+y9
what leadership? what examples of his leadership have been visible to the outside world? as far as I can tell, his entire career was:

1. failed startup 1. YC staff member 1. very creepy cryptocurrency grifter 1. openai ceo

where has he demonstrated such enormous value?

In the last day this site has been all about him. That goes to tell you the mindshare he commands. This was a major victory orchestrated by Satya.

That just means he is popular in HN, doesn't say much more than that in regards to leadership, etc.

Being popular doesn't mean someone is efficient, or even has any merits apart from being able to become popular (Kardashians come to mind).
