SamAltman

Was president of YCombinator, now runs OpenAI

I feel ... remarkably neutral about him. I'm neither a fanboi or a hater. I like the products that OpenAI have given to me. I know Altman isn't technically involved on those things.How important his management is ... I literally have no idea.

Here's a waspish and mean take-down : https://www.wheresyoured.at/false-prophet/

It's plausibly true without really meaning much in itself.

But this struck me :

Altman is adept at using connections to make new connections,

Which is basically NetoCracy's theory of Imploitation.

Seen from this perspective, Altman is an arch-netocrat.
