For a company to be as successful as OpenAI, two people won't cut it. OpenAI arguably has the best ML talent at the moment. Talent attracts talent. People come for Sutskever, Karpathy, and alike -- not for Altman or Brockman.

Pachocki, Director of Research, just quit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38316378

Money also attracts talent. An OpenAI competitor led by the people who led OpenAI to its leading position should be able to raise a lot of money.
Money attracts talent as well. Altman knows how to raise money.
