100% spot on.

The world is filled with Sam Altmans, but surely not enough Ilya Sutskevers.

Was Sutskever really that instrumental to OpenAI's success, if it was at all possible for him to be surprised at the direction the company is taking. It doesn't seem that he is that involved in the day-to-day operations.

Anyone asking this question has never gone through Ilya's achievements. He is quite brilliant, and clearly instrumental here. And Sam is amazing in his own way too, for sure.

Is operations responsible for their success? Or is it rather their technology?

[AbrahamParangi]

This is deeply wrong. Just because you don’t see what’s special about him doesn’t mean he isn’t a rare talent.
