PG doesn’t say he’s fit for the job, he just says he’s good at some unspecified thing.

Maybe that unspecified thing is just corporate knife fighting and this time PG is happy he’s not on the other end of it.

Maybe the situation he’s good at dealing with is… getting fired?

That’s what I thought as well. PG was saying Sam is good at handling the media frenzy, and drama of being fired from OpenAI.

And seeing as he’s going back into the company, it looks like he is better at dealing than most predicted.

Ycombinator still has a monetary interest in the for-profit corp of OpenAI right? When Sam says he doesn't have equity I believe he sometimes clarifies that he does a small interest through a ycombinator partnership or fund ownership of some shares.

P.I.I.V

I've met ruthless dark triad people who I correctly predicted would be extremely successful, but I would make sure never to be work with or for.

Can you talk about how these traits play out for you and also the whole of the triad? I feel like we all have our own spectrum of behavior/tendencies on these respective axes. I hope I'm making sense here

I’m not saying Sam Altman ain’t quite moral enough to join the Army… but he’d definitely be on the group W bench, if ya know what I mean…
