> Is it that hard to hire and organize when you've got a top researcher that everyone wants to work with? Hire a top researcher? Ok, you could get lucky with a few. But keep? Good luck if you are an incompetent manager. If Sam Altman was the "know-nothing" that so many on HN claim him to be, then the top researchers would leave and go to Meta, Google Brain, etc. It makes no sense that this core research team has been so stable. Is this not evidence enough for you? |

OpenAI VP of research Dario Amodei and a bunch of others left three years ago and started Anthropic.
Ilya Sutskever reportedly told the board before the coup that he’s so unhappy with Sam he was thinking about leaving. He might be out now.
I don’t know if Sam is the right leader for OpenAI - he might be. But it’s good that he’s being watched closely right now.
