Maybe after Sam Altman and Greg Brockman leave, people will realize how important they are to OpenAI.

Possibility of @karpathy leaving and joining them to form a viable competitor?

>>wyy199+(OP)
Meh, I think Ilya and John Schulman (TRPO, PPO, RLHF) are way more important. There are many others of course

That's just a technical perspective, but when it comes to developing advanced artificial intelligence industries, technology doesn't determine everything.

I'm sure they can get funding at this point if needed.

>>wyy199+(OP)
Their main value add was Sam's network, which is probably why they were able to raise so much money, close the deal with Microsoft and get a ton of YC companies to sign on early on.

Now that they're so well established and intertwined with Microsoft Sam's personal network is not as important.

Even an investor with deep pockets like Microsoft would be shocked by such a sudden action by the board of directors,and Microsoft will treat its money more carefully.I don't think Microsoft can pretend nothing happened.

if they don't screw up again, it will eventually be forgotten as all things are and business as usual.
