The fact that they gave little shout outs at the end makes me think they wanted to avoid burning bridges by criticizing the company.

They almost certainly still own shares/options in the company.

They didn't mind burning MS

It sounds to me in contrast to the grandiose claims OpenAI tries to make about its own products - it views AI as 'regular technology', and is pragmatically tries to build viable products using it.

> It's hard to imagine building anything as impactful as AGI, and LLMs are easily the technological innovation of the decade.

I really can't see a person with at least minimal self-awareness talking their own work up this much. Give me a break dude. Plus, you haven't built AGI yet.

Can't believe there's so little critique of this post here. It's incredibly self-serving.

Reading through the thread, it seems like half of the commenters work for OpenAI, so it'd make sense people aren't critiquing it much :p
