And now Sam is free to start another company which is incentivized by profit, giving him the ability to easily gobble up the part of the talent at OpenAI that was hoping for that.

Why do so many people buy into this belief that Sam Altman was the special sauce in OpenAI?

He’s not the only one. But at least 4 top people have already left because of him leaving. He can clearly take people with him. That’s the comment you’re responding to. His power isn’t him alone. It’s everyone he brings with him.

Or he gets to return to OpenAI and have a Steve Jobs style cull of the board. Either way as someone who enjoys the drama I’m stoked.
