"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Trying to blame the whole grift on just one person is just another part of the grift. Altman deserves all that's coming to him, but there are many more to investigate.
After Altman was fired in 2023 for steering the company in a too profit-seeking directions, 745 out of 770 employees of OpenAI threatened to quit unless he was reinstated. They truly have nobody to blame but themselves.
The two people quoted in the article haven't been with OpenAI for at least 2½ years. Amodei left in 2021 to found Anthropic, so he's a piece of shit, but Sutskever voted to fire Altman and quit OpenAI when he was reinstated, and he actually seems to have been struggling how to make things right ever since.
