> In a statement to Fortune, an OpenAI spokeswoman said that Altman “is fully focused on his role as CEO of OpenAI and spends only a small fraction of his time investing. He maintains transparency with the board about his occasional investments and adheres to a process for managing potential conflicts of interest.” I thought "is fully focused" meant all his attention was there? Also "He maintains transparency with th…
Can someone explain how Sam is able to run so many things at once? I am working on my startup and I barely find time to scroll HN during my toilet breaks.
Do you have the money, connections, trust to hire someone to delegate 90% of the work you’re doing on your startup?

Next thing you know he’s attempting a replacement for traditional currencies (worldcoin) and running the most technologically significant startup in the world (OpenAI) funded by everyone from Elon Musk to Microsoft.
Meanwhile he’s got infinite side hustles like the one in this article.
Obviously a guy that people trust with their money but from my perspective (nowhere near his circles) there are some missing pieces in this meteoric rise.

Smaller universities seem to make a lot on student rental accommodation, at least in places like Australia.
Maybe tuition is their side business.
I hesitate to ask on HN (given that this is an arm of YC) but can anyone explain the rise of Sam? He had a startup that seemingly had an uninteresting exit (raised 30M sold for 43M).

I don't have any resources to help and I'm also interested if anyone knows anything.

Can someone explain why a public university is giving money to Sam Altman rather than the other way around? Or is this the primary/hedge-fund part of the university rather than the professional sports organization or the vestigial academic departments?
