OpenAI founded as non-profit. Sam Altman goes on Joe Rogan Podcast and says he does not really care about money. Sam gets caught driving around Napa in a $4M exotic car. OpenAI turns into for-profit. 3/4 of founding team dips out.
Sketchy.
This whole silicon valley attitude of fake effective altruism, "I do it for the good of humanity, not for the money (but I actually want a lot of money)" fake bullshit is so transparent and off-putting.
@sama, for the record - I am not saying making is a bad thing. Labor and talent markets should be efficient. But when you pretend to be altruistic when you are obviously not, then you come off hypocritical instead of altruistic. Sell out.
