"In [Murati’s] experience, Altman had a simple playbook: first, say whatever he needed to say to get you to do what he wanted, and second, if that didn’t work, undermine you or destroy your credibility … It had taken Sutskever years to be able to put his finger on Altman’s pattern of behavior — how OpenAI’s CEO would tell him one thing, then say another and act as if the difference was an accident. “Oh, I must have misspoken,” Altman would say. Sutskever felt that Altman was dishonest and causing chaos, which would be a problem for any CEO, but especially for one in charge of such potentially civilization-altering technology."
