GPT5 pre-training just ended I believe. Brock, Pachocki, Szymon Sidor, would have likely all been involved.

These are huge losses. Pachocki led pre-training for GPT-4, and probably GPT-5. Brockman is the major engineer responsible for the efficiency improvements that enabled ChatGPT and GPT-4 to be even remotely cost-effective. That is a piece that is often overlooked, but OpenAI's advantage over the competition in compute efficiency is probably even larger than the model itself.

"Greg Brockman works 60 to 100 hours per week, and spends around 80% of the time coding. Former colleagues have described him as the hardest-working person at OpenAI."

I am either skeptical or envious of such claims. Someone coding so much would quickly be launched into meetings to communicate one's results and to coordinate with others.

It would be my life's dream to spend 80 hours per week coding without having to communicate with others... but no one is an island...

No one wants to be another woz

Why not?? Being another Woz would be amazing.

I just saw this. Glad to see I’m not the only one.

My take: He’s the Keanu Reeves of tech (or Keanu is the Woz of the film industry). The world can use more of this.

My attitude about money is pretty much the same as Woz's. There's a lot of us out there, but the worldview is so alien to the modern computer industry that it just doesn't register.
