Plus who gives a shit if a penguin teaches the course as long as its good. Open AI Board member teaching an AI course sounds like that terrible startup course that Peter Thiel taught on coursera. Where one of the lessons focussed on Vim. Although tbf Thiel teaching a startups course has a lot more legitimacy. This title just makes it sound like a studio exec trying to teach people how to make movies.
Zico is Chair of the ML Department at CMU, which arguably has had the largest contribution to foundational ML academia.
OpenAI board member is his least interesting credential

That would sell the course for me.
Hard to take them seriously w.r.t. "modern" when they have been unable to get a pre training run to complete since Ilya left and are now a generation behind
