I suspect the root-commenter was speaking about Ilya S, and it's a bit quibbling to classify him as "scientist" vs "engineer." He clearly crosses the line between both.

But yes, the comment was a bit unhinged.

Don't really see the difference between an MBA and whatever it is that Altman does, though, other than credentials.

Finally, that you think that ethicist (or the study of ethics) is masturbatory, especially in the context of an organization that has as its explicit mission to hoist AGI onto the world -- tells me quite a bit about your own... ethics.

World could do with a lot more ethicists and a lot less MBAs.
