I really don't care who the CEO/CTO/CFO of any company is. Why is this whole thing blowing up that much on ycombinator?

Unfortunately the “great man theory” is still going strong in the 21st century. Just like Steve Jobs has invented the iPhone people believe he invented GPT!

Is the alternative theory that the ownership, control and leadership of OpenAI is immaterial?

OpenAI success is unfortunately largely based on the one ruthless decision to ignore ethics and train the model on the work of millions of artists and authors. I don’t know if Sam himself was behind this decision. I doubt Aaron Schwartz would have done the same.

Ok...

So the alternative to great man theory, in this case, is terrible man theory... I'm not following.

If focusing on control over openai, is great man theory... What's the contrary notion?
