100% sure he was fired because he started some side hustle to get a bigger chunk of the ai cake. In a few we will have some launch of a new venture and a bunch of openai peeps will flip over to the new co.

Depends on how your values align with those of Middle East sovereign wealth funds and their owners.

In Europe, Saudi's are well known for making sound use of their capital. They own much London because of it.

Impossible to say. If OpenAI makes it– I think it'll be better for AI safety then with Sam at the helm. But that's a big if. Time will tell.
