Why can't openai just be a competent drama-free org?

Is it impossible to build really cool tech without the upheaval?

Probably because if you collect a bunch of highly motivated and extremely smart people who are good at overcoming obstacles and eliminating problems they eventually start to see each other as obstacles or problems.

Having been on founding teams that imploded like open AI and ones that succeeded I've found that waving a big wad of cash before every meeting does wonders to motivate people.

You can trust people's greed, you can't trust their morals. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't seen a large enough wad of cash yet.

You can trust greed to produce something. You can also trust that something to be utterly worthless, at best.
