The media and the VCs are treating Sam like some hero and savior of AI. I’m not getting it. What has he done in life and/or AI to deserve so much respect and admiration? Why don’t top researchers and scientists get equivalent (if not more) respect, admiration and support? It looks like one should strive to become product manager, not an engineer or a scientist.

Altman seems to be a extraordinary leader, motivator, and strategizer. This itself is clear by the fact that 90% of the company was willing to walk out over his retention. Just think about that for minute.

No, the 90% of the employees were scared that their million $ salaries are going away along with Sam Altman.

Sounds like a good way to to secure your position as leader.

My job also secures my loyalty and support with a financial incentive. It is probably the most common way for a business leader to align interests.

Kings reward dukes, and generals pay soldiers. Politicians trade policies. That doesn't mean they arent leaders.
