The bit about PG and Altman parting ways is interesting I wonder if anyone wants to share more :).

Hadn't seen the tweet from Geoffrey Irving before:

> 1. He was always nice to me.

> 2. He lied to me on various occasions

> 3. He was deceptive, manipulative, and worse to others, including my close friends (again, only nice to me, for reasons)

It's a very strongly worded statement. Given how connected Altman is, it's very interesting that Irving would publicly state this.

It's either very courageous and in service to changing silicon valley, or also very manipulative and in service of benefiting his company. It feels like it could be both.

I'm left feeling like there are no angels here. (That's actually funny given how investors love to call themselves angels.)

In the end it appears Altman has looked out for himself above all else, which probably enrages his mentors and investors who don't like to lose control, including pg.

Like an AI then.

I don’t see how 1 and 2 are compatible unless you have a really weird definition of ‘nice’.

This is the kind of person we have controlling the future of AI. He and Elon Musk. Between these two we are assured complete destruction.
