They've got money for a very BIG experiment tho

I feel like they’re not going to want to go into direct competition with their most valuable customers.

Haven't most of the most valuable customers already started rolling their own Nvidia hardware replacements?

I'll say it again - the one who was irreplaceable at OpenAI is Ilya, not Sam.

"Was irreplaceable" != "is still irreplaceable". OpenAI as a company has outgrown any individual engineer or scientist, no matter how smart.

Ilya knows how ChatGPT works. Any company that hires him will be able to catch up with ChatGPT.

Everyone knows how chatGPT works.

At least now we know GPT-5 has finished development and is now in training from this (I would hope that Iyla got to add all that he hoped to before leaving).

Ilya, thanks for all you have contributed within OpenAI!

I’m sure that’s what each and every member of Hackernews would have done in the same position.

Not all of us are as morally bankrupt as that. I personally think I could make tons of money with a dumb AI product in my specific area of expertise, but I don’t see how any tech from today would improve outcomes versus the SOTA that’s not AI, but it would add costs and complexity. I would personally be annoyed if a company I worked at changed its goals to make money rather than something more noble. It’s happened a…

According to Mr Altman’s tweet ( https://twitter.com/sama/status/1790518031640347056 ) they had not just one but TWO of the greatest minds of this generation. After this change they will have only one.

Sam Altman's tweet only implies that they had >= 2 greatest minds of this generation, and now they have at least one of this breed of people.
