But he seems to be addressing the rift when he explains his velocity. Let me put it this way, does this sound like an independent CEO of OpenAi, or does this sound like Sataya Nadella saying “let’s stick this shit in Cortona, Xbox, the windows task bar, fucking everrrything”.
Yeah, sounds like the CEO of a totally different company.
I would not be shocked to see some kinda legal action against Altman for stealing trade secrets going forward.
It could be a more primal explanation. I think OpenAi doesn’t want to effectively be a R&D arm of Microsoft. The ChatGPT mobile app is an unpolished and unrefined. There’s little to no product design there, so I totally see how it’s fair criticism to call out premature feature milling (especially when it’s clear it’s for Microsoft).
I’m imagining Sam being Microsoft’s Trojan horse, and that’s just not gonna fly.
If anyone tells me Sam is a master politician, I’d agree without knowing much about him. He’s a Microsoft plant that has support of 90% of the OpenAi team. The two things are conflicts of interest. Masterful.
It’s a pretty fair question to ask a CEO. Do you still believe in OpenAi vision or do you know believe in Microsoft’s vision?
