Without meaning offense to Sam, I thought he was an investor / YC head. What credentials does he have to be at OpenAI?
Perhaps founding the initiative....
Teaching the CS231n course at Stanford, for one.
Thanks, that makes sense. So now the question is - how did Sam become a YC/Angel investor from someone who taught a class at Stanford? I think we need an interview with Sam.
He did? I only knew of 183B which is "How to start a startup"
Andrej Karpathy taught cs231n. The question is about Sam Altman who didn't teach anything related to NL. He's on the board of OpenAI because he was one of its founding investors.
Elon Musk poached him, and for that was kicked off the OpenAI board.
I've never heard that that was the reason for Elon leaving the OpenAI board. The official announcement said
"As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon."
Do you have a source?
that statement is the politically correct version of "poached an employee"
