People like to gatekeep coding as if it was some sort of mythical skills that only extremely smart people could do.
Tons of people can code. Coding is not some sort of mythical skill. Millions of people can code.
For some reason, this narrative is almost always applying on people who are politically incompatible with the left like Elon and Sam.
- boshalfoshal 5mo agoApart from your last paragraph which is a little contentious, I agree with what you say. I dont understand why people here require that every tech ceo to be some professional programmer or engineer. I don't think you _need_ to be that deep in it as the CEO. There are plenty of leaders at OpenAI that already fit the bill. Sam is good at getting funding, seeing the bigger picture, and rallying towards a cause. That is the job of a CEO. It doesn't matter (imo) that he doesn't know how many parameters the next release will have. All that matters is he knows the impact of the new release and knows who to defer to for actual technical decisions.
