I mean you're describing exactly the empty technical world I've been experiencing.

So the future of AI is in the hands of leadership that's slick talking but really only there to make a quick buck, built by teams of engineers whose only motivation is getting highly paid.

I don't begrudge those that are only in it for the money, but that's not the view of tech that got me excited and into this industry many years ago.

The point of my comment is that for a moment I thought maybe I was wrong about my view of tech today, but it's very clear that I'm not. It sounds like the reality is going to end up that the handful of truly technical people in the company will be pushed out, and the vast majority of people even on HN will cheer this.

If Sam Altman wins and the likes of Ilya lose then we won’t actually have AI. Since Sam Altman doesn’t know anything about building AI. We’ll have more sharky products with grandiose visions that end up making money by using surveillance.

But I’m hopeful that AI will at least win by open source. Like Linux did. “Linux” wasn’t a 100 billion startup with a glitzy CEO, but it ate the world anyway.
