Maybe you want another interview sometime.

If anything it's bad journalism to remove it.

The author knows that it's easily available. It doesn't matter if the original site retracted it. The author was also YC20 Humanloop. So they have a loyalty to Altman that most reporters wouldn't.

sometimes requests come with flowers. or dump trucks full of money. or lawyers.

I bet open ai could twist my arm too.

Access. If you don't play ball, you don't get invited to events like the one the article was based on. It's the same reason journalists adhere to embargoes.

plain and simple - it wasnt an interview, and humanloop screwed up publishing details of a private conversation. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36179213

Ok, that makes sense then. If Altman didn’t expect it to be public then this is all reasonable.
