I am really not liking this Sam guy and how he does things. He has an attitude of “my way and only my way, and I don’t care what you think or do”

That’s all successful tech companies out of Silicon Valley.

It is a silly place.

>>PixelP+(OP)
Him and pretty much the entire SV culture.

This is pretty much quintessential founder behavior. I have had my run-ins with people like this, and the relationship is usually short lived. I do not drink the kool-aid, and question pretty much everything. These types of personalities are like oil and water and do not mix. You almost need a third person to act as a emulsifier to allow the oil&water to mix without separating.

Relax guys, he's Open!

Open for business, Open to suggestions, and Open season for any lawyers that want a piece of the sizable damages.

An emulsifier role is a great way to put it. In basketball, that's the glue guy.

You don't like the sister rapist Sam Altman[1][2]? Seems like everybody should LOVE this guy!

On second thought, let's not go there.

It's not just successful companies though. There is a bit of ego necessary in a founder that makes them think their idea or their implementation of a thing is better so that it needs to be its own company. Sometimes though they even get caught up in their own reality distortion fields with obviously bad ideas or ideas implemented badly due to their own arrogance that ultimately fails.

Yeah this explains why most of my interviews with startups haven't gone well. I've even had friends ask me to do PoC work for them for equity, and they still get all bent out of shape when I'm not instantly smitten by their one-sentence pitch, and instead ask for more details about their business plan.

If I thought I had a great idea, I would want people to try to poke holes in it. Yet founders often universally seem to be the incredibly sensitive and insecure about their idea.

Heavily self-promoting, brash aren’t-I-great business sorts are a pretty damn consistent type across time, and it’s not a good type.

That is...not a pretty picture. We desperately need someone else at the helm of OpenAI.
