Yeah he doesn’t even seem like the kind of person that would connect well with a lot of talented ML researchers.

What does that have to do with getting a billion dollars for his chief scientist and ML researchers?

Well he didn’t really get that money. Sam Altman on his own couldn’t have raised 1 billion for OpenAI. He was the CEO but the money was there already. He was largely parachuted in.

I could understand why someone would buy into Musk’s vision even Gates/Jobs etc. Sam Altman seems like a very ordinary guy without any remarkable attributes.
