Is this guy big enough on the totem pole to know what Ilya wants?

Or, is he just bitter that his millions are put in risk.

"Ilya does not care about safety or the humanity. This is just ego and power hunger that backfired."

Which I'm inclined to believe.

What's with all these people suddenly thinking that humans are NOT motivated by money and power? Even less so if they're "academics"? Laughable.

Money and power is still not a satisfying explanation. If everything had gone according to plan, how would be have ended up with more money and power?

[moralestapia]

Last week, OpenAI was still an $80B sort of "company" and the undisputed lead in bringing AI to the market.

He who controls that, gets a lot of money and power as a consequence, duh.

The value was based on e direction Altman was taking the company (and with him being in control). It's silly to think just replacing the CEO would somehow keep the valuation

[moralestapia]

Someone should tell this to Ilya.

Oh wait, too late now ...

[herval]

I mean he could have asked chatgpt...

Unless he thinks that all the LLMs and ChatGPT app store are unnecessary distractions, and others will overtake them on the bend while they are busy post-training ChatGPT to say nice things.

Let's remember who controls the GPUs though...

Reminds me a bit of MasterBlaster from 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome' - "Who runs Bartertown..?"

On Friday, the overwhelming take on HN was that Ilya was “the good guy” and was concerned about principal. Now, it’s kinda obvious that all the claims made about Sam — like “he’s in it for fame and money” — might apply more to Ilya.

Isn't ego the enemy of growth or whatever? Projection...
