fyi, I don't have enough karma to flag, but all comments from the user you're replying to seem to be direct chatGPT outputs, with consistent summary-detail-concluding question structure, superficial attempts to sound profound, and

I feel like it's also important to remember that the truth may be something else completely. I'm reminded of Bob Lee's killing, when many initial reactions assumed it was a random act of violence and blamed city leaders for p

Just to clarify, one founder on the board, Ilya, has skin in the game, and was the reason behind Sam's firing. He convinced other members of the board that Sam was not the right person for their mission. The original statement implies

Yeah, no idea, I can only speculate, maybe Dev Day was just the final straw, or perhaps it was related to APEC and the whole world tour that Sam did to make deals with powerful actors, or maybe it was related to the rumored tender offer? h

Like I said, I agree that Sam Altman, relatively speaking, is better known than Ilya Sutskever to the general public. Although, as other users have replied, this isn't necessarily the same as being a household name. In any case, I feel

Agreed, both were critical for their success, the underlying LLM technology, and the vision and leadership to package the tech into ChatGPT. However, my original comment on this thread was simply to point out that Ilya is not "unknown-

by rirarobo 3y ago
Typically I would agree, but in the case of OpenAI, they were themselves blindsided when their free conversational LLM demo, ChatGPT, went viral less than a year ago now. It is a rare counter case, where a tech-focused research demo, withou

I think you're right that this move by Ilya is to refocus on the non-profit mission, so less urgency to commercialize and sell products, and instead more focus on core research. Based on Ilya's statements, it doesn't seem lik

by rirarobo 3y ago
Based on Ilya's comments [1] it sounds like it was more about a disagreement around the original non-profit mission, and making sure that AI benefited all of humanity. Perhaps Ilya felt Sam was focusing too much on profit and power wit

by rirarobo 3y ago
I see, thanks for clarifying. I agree that Ilya is relatively lesser known publicly, but in the grander scheme of things I don't think Altman is really that well known either. I mean, anecdotally, most non-tech friends and family I kno

I don't think Ilya is jealous, I think he just fundamentally is more devoted to the original non-profit mission, and the AI research. Sam is a VC guy who has been going on a world tour to not just get in the spotlight, but to actually

by rirarobo 3y ago
It's possible this will have the opposite effect. Sam was the VC guy pushing gatekeeping of models and building closed products and revenue streams. Ilya is the AI researcher who believes strongly in the nonprofit mission and open sour

by rirarobo 3y ago
Actually, I think this precisely gives credence to the theory that Sam was disingenuously proselytizing to gain power and influence, regulatory capture being one method of many. As you say, Altman has been on a world tour, but he's eff

Sorry, what do you mean by "unknown -to-anyone"? Ilya is a co-founder of OpenAI, the Chief Scientist, and one of the best known AI researchers in the field. He has also been touring with Sam Altman at public events, and getting hi
