I'm glad perspectives has stopped treating Sam Altman like a tech God. dude is second coming of every FAANG CEO and Elon combined. there's no way that guy isnt up to no good.
I get strong "ends justify the means" vibes.
The more I'm hearing, the more it sounds like the former board was justified in axing him
The problem is they went about it in a profoundly stupid way. The way they acted made it seem like he done something explicit and then they refused to actually elaborate. We still don't know what really happened.
oh they absolutely were. just how that shitshow went down with the M$ offers and the decision reversal showed that it was power politics in play to kill reason
