Looking at Sam Altman's Wikipedia page, he appears to have never accomplished anything in his life:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_AltmanHis rise to prominence was in co-founding the company Loopt as a 19-year old. The fate of the company is summed up by this sentence from his Wikipedia page:
"As CEO, Altman raised more than $30 million in venture capital for the company; however, Loopt failed to gain traction with enough users. In March 2012, it was acquired by the Green Dot Corporation for $43.4 million."
So, he was able to raise $30 million for it, by being charismatic, but the company was a failure, and then again by using his charisma he was able to sell his worthless company for $43.4 million.
Then he was able to leverage this experience to propel his career as a tech businessman, joining the board of y combinator, and various other appointments.
Reading his bio, he does not strike me as an innovator. He is a salesman plain and simple. His job is to talk to people. He is likely the kind of psychopath who is very good at acting like he's not a psychopath, and the people in charge like this quality about him because it puts the masses at ease, which is why they made him CEO.
Since Sam Altman, the face of the company, is not the brains of the company, this makes me wonder: Who is the real brains of ChatGPT/OpenAI?
