It’s so weird that the person behind Loopt has now come fully in charge of this company and perverted its initial goals so completely. I’m still not clear on what Sam has accomplished or why he was put in charge of YC or OpenAI. Also apparently chairman of Helion Energy (fusion startup). Masterclass in failing up.

I think it is the same reason rich people throw money after Adam Neumann post Wework. They know it is a con and wanna be part of it. They see themself as alpha-wolfes to badass to be losers. Compare to people that shill as true believers in different strange crypto Ponzi-schemes. They think they are in on it.

Being so good that you get in charge of YC, and not fired by PG at all, makes you perfect to meta-morph 'OpenAI' into some dystopian big corp, as seen.

He is an effective bullshit artist with no moral restraint and capital behind the scene promotes and pushes him and his type as they are the perfect match for their role as "captains" of "industry". The 'building' of these fronts is a collaborative effort, with definitive media element of which even HN is likely included.

At this stage though, he has no more place to fail up to!
