Is he even a 'founder'? As I remember he joined OpenAI as CEO relatively late.
Yes, I was referring, among other things, to a recent tweet where he calls OpenAI "his" startup. Some of his coworkers may find that irksome, as he was not there when GPT2 was released. (If I understand correctly)
Not to mention, the GPT paper comes from Google[0]. His part in this seems very very small.
Ok, but I think the transition from Transformers to GPT took a lot of hard work and insight, and the OpenAI research team deserves ample credit for it.
Sure, the research teams involved. I only bring up Google because it's ironic Sam is shitting on them for the tech they shared with everyone and made OpenAI possible.
Curious about your choice of “worried”. Are you rooting for openai? I love chatgpt and dalle but now that they’re effectively a Microsoft subsidiary I’m not empathizing with them in the slightest. Plus Sam has kinda always been like that, no?
Worried in the sense that their products have the potential to be harmful. But yes, otherwise I am rooting for OpenAI. Why not? I don't have a horse in this race.
Fair thanks for the response! I guess deep down I kinda am, too. I don’t want to because I find Mr. Altman to be a particularly loathsome capitalist executive, but gosh they’ve just been so exciting the past year or two.
Similar to another OpenAI founder who mistakenly thinks his other company's AI is flying by stodgy old Google for the last 7 years.
