But how did he amass so much power?

OpenAI Part2: Ilya Dreams of AGI

OpenAI employees were motivated by the dream of building an artificial general intelligence, which could think and solve problems like a human mind. In reality, they sometimes spent their days building bots that played video games. But new research allowed the company to create increasingly powerful AI models, giving them a lead in the AI race. Meanwhile, a power struggle between Sam Altman and Elon Musk led to Musk’s departure from the company. In this episode, reporter Ellen Huet takes a look at OpenAI’s early days and the company’s shift away from its promises to be open-source and nonprofit.

A group of high-level early employees who had glimpsed the fluidity and power of the technology behind ChatGPT left OpenAI to start a new company.

Foundering: The OpenAI Story (Trailer)

The biggest story in tech is artificial intelligence, and the biggest story in AI is OpenAI. The company’s rapid progress and blazingly popular consumer products like ChatGPT have pushed tech giants to dump billions of dollars into an AI arms race. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, has been dogged by persistent allegations of being manipulative, deceitful, and power hungry – even to the point of being fired by his own board. This season of Foundering takes listeners straight to the heart of the AI explosion: feuds, betrayals, billionaires, and the extinction of humanity…. maybe?

Too Much Bias

When reporting on the facts it’s good, but they also throw in Twitter theories and unconfirmed information to support their slant instead of being objective and letting the listener decide. So what if there was turmoil at OpenAI and the CEO doesn’t want to talk about the drama publicly? That’s true for all companies unless the CEO is an idiot. This thirst for drama and salaciousness is ridiculous. The tech IS what matters. And as far as Altman’s sister…she seems 1) insane and 2) jealous because she failed in life so I don’t trust her motives.
Disappointing

The Open AI season is trash reporting. It’s more like a hit piece than a story of a founder. I was looking forward to it and other seasons, but the reporting is so slanted that I won’t be trying other seasons. Be better, Bloomberg.
Waste of time

Is this about Sam and OpenAI or Annie? One-sided and drama-driven. What a waste of time!
