Soft disagree with this pearl clutching tone. And since I know every one of these tech leaders well, I have to say that @sama is no different than most of the talented ones, which is to say, aggressive, sometimes imperious and, yes, self-serving. Wot? washingtonpost.com/technolog…

This line was silly since every ceo does this: “[It was] evidenced by his unwillingness to entertain any board makeup that wasn’t heavily skewed in his favor.” You’re fucking kidding said no one ever.

Also I cannot believe this article forced me to agree with @rabois: “Insofar as he is polarizing, it’s because he is young, successful and ambitious, and people are envious.” Oh man.

Like almost everyone I have covered, he is sometimes arrogant, sometime fibs and freelances and so do they all. He’s also one of the more thoughtful ones and his employees said a lot by their loyalty. End of rant as I hate defending these (always) men, but I also need to be fair.

What he is not is toxic and cruel like some, which is why I am perplexed by the silence of most tech bros — who don’t mind silly slagging — when faced with a really dangerous jackass. Then they never say a peep. And should.

Btw nearly every player in this @OpenAI drama was self interested and manipulative on some fashion. I’ll give props to the employees who as a group were pretty steady. And, yes, they want the $ but I think are more mission driven than most. Let’s hope it stays that way.
