I continue to wonder how the people still working in OpenAI feel about all this. Are they just staying there for the money? Does Sam offer them (through manipulation or otherwise) a lot more support in whatever they do compared to anyone else they have worked with?

In some ways, Sam Altman seems like a version of Mark Zuckerberg…in that he will not hesitate to do terrible and despicable things to expand his money, power and empire. The scope of AI to affect people around the globe seems to far exceed what social media by itself could even dream of.
