Not sure why we're discussing this like it's serious, but people work from home these days and can connect to work via VPN from anywhere. And given the chaos, assuming all digital accounts/permissions were immediately shut down is a big question mark. Especially when everyone at OpenAI was on his side.
His accounts would have been shut down the moment he was fired, that is always the case everywhere. There was no chaos when he was fired. There was chaos after he was fired.
I've noticed something about reality. You know what makes sense in reality. You know the procedures, the logic, the rules. You expect the world to evolve according to them. But it rarely does. Case in point this entire episode of firing and rehiring Altman in the span of less than a week.
There are those things that happen in life, if a writer puts it in a screenplay, you'd think "what a bad writer". And yet...
Even GPT-4 surpasses the emotional and management intelligence of the average person. And in stressful moments even the better people perform average or below. So of course it’s helpful to use it.
