The addition of Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton, two olympic athletes with no obvious ties to this, struck me as interesting. Does anyone have any insight to that?
They are being added as donors, not advisors, right? So some rich people with interest in AI decided to support OpenAI, it seems.
Which is surprising and great to see as it indicates the issue becoming a more main stream concern.
How exactly did the Eaton's become rich? I didn't realize there was that much money in running, unless you are someone like Usain Bolt and have endorsement deals.
