So interesting that the same event has several spins right now:

- OpenAI is nothing without Sam Altman

- OpenAI is nothing without its workers (following Sam Altman)

- OpenAI is nothing without its workers (Sam Altman is just a figurehead)

A glitch in the Matrix?

That's a bit of a false dichotomy - just because they follow Sam Altman doesn't mean they can be incompetent. OpenAI was successful because of the rare mix of leadership with a vision and competent workers to back it up. Sam leaves, the vision dies. Workers leave, the product dies.

Without commenting on the purpose and goal of the organizing, it is a display of worker leverage gained through organizing

Yeah, but it kind of taints the picture that they rally under the banner of a Lord.

Consider he may not be a lord but a friend and colleague they value and may feel was treated unfairly.

I value all my 500 friends.
