Comments like this make me wonder whether I'm on reddit or HN. The future trajectory of AI isn't tied to Nvidia's stock in the same way the web didn't thrive or die on Cisco being the most valuable company in the world 24 years ago.

Except 24 years ago you didn't need Cisco to write HTML. Your analogy is not correct and it tells me you didn't bother to read my edit.

I really shouldn't have to explain how this bubble ends.

He showed exceptionally bad judgement, judgement is perhaps the most important characteristic of high level employees. He's brilliant, which means someone will take a leap of faith, but he badly, badly damaged his brand as a leader going forward.

Bad judgement? Sam Altman is a prolific liar who attempted to oust a board member by spreading different lies to different people. He's not even an engineer! He has established a cult of personality and popularity, and that's it. They were absolutely right to try to oust him. The only mistake was in doing so in such a ham-fisted manner.

Starting something without a very good plan or being unable to execute on it is a sign of bad judgment.

There’s a halo around Ilya Sutskever as the Albert Einstein of AI. Are there others on par with his— umm, how would you qualify it—- AI intuition or are we idolizing?

I think you're idolizing perhaps.

There's no doubt Ilya is highly respected in the field, but not to the same extent as Albert Einstein is in physics.

Maybe with time, but certainly not today.

Yeah what. That guy above you is absolutely blind.

AI is more like Apple and less like the internet. Your rabid fanaticism is what convinces me of its value… not it’s actual value.

>Your rabid fanaticism

Recognizing value isn't "Rabid fanaticism" lol.

Exactly. He’s only founded and led a company that’s built some of the most easily adoptable and exciting innovations in human-computer interactions in the last decade. Total fraud!

and which company would that be?

Loopt

Ilya will literally have a blank check from almost all the VC's in the industry.

And probably all of the big tech CEOs are trying to get him on the phone right now.

Except all the big tech CEOs have head AI honchos who are huge names in their own right, eg yann for meta and demis for Google. Probably couldn't bring him into those places without ruffling some pretty big feathers
