This is the guy who had everyone here rooting for him when the OpenAI board tried to kick him out. Which was almost certainly the result of a very successful PR campaign carried out by him.

He's not really comparable with Jobs. This guy is a politician and Jobs was a product guy.

I don't recall "everyone" rooting for him when OpenAI board tried to kick him out. Not even on HN.

Around 95% of the OpenAI engineers signed a letter to the board threatening to quit unless he was reinstated.

Of course they did, they all stood to immensely profit from his course of actions.

But OP talked about "people here".

> This guy is a politician and Jobs was a product guy

They're both excellent marketers.

Not at all. When people say this statement about Jobs, it tells me how little they know about the man.

S Jobs was a clinical and clear communicator. Altman in comparison? Lmao.

Going to bet I’ve met them both more times than you have.

Neither man was or is an archetype.

You havent met anyone fella. I see your posts here all the time - full of bluster.

Lol what? You need to do more research fella. Did it not ever occur to you that Jobs got the recording industry to dance to his tune to offer music for under a dollar? He did the same with the iPhone - smashing the control cellular network providers had over handset producers.

"This is the guy who had everyone here rooting for him when the OpenAI board tried to kick him out."

Finally... oh this is just funny. Who rooted for S Jobs when he was kicked out of Apple, and cheered for him on his return?
