He literally squandered the last 10 years of his life working on absolutely nothing for Zuckerberg. And only after the rest of the world innovated on AI (transformers, etc) did he clearly feel embarrassed and had to proclaim he's going to focus on AGI in a "one-up" way.
He got paid a lot to do something he was presumably passionate about and enjoyed. It also might surprise you to find out that there's quite a lot of people that just work as a means to an end, and find value and enjoyment primarily from other parts of their life.
that's great for him. i'm glad he enjoyed the $$$ playing with VR. that has nothing to do with my point about his irrelevance to this LLaMa discussion.
He's not irrelevant, though. Literally the first thing he did after leaving Meta was start an AI business, and the original point wasn't even necessarily about AI. They just said they wanted to see two engineers in conversation, and you used it as an opportunity to denigrate one of their previous employers. That's bewilderingly irrelevant.
Altman isn't even relevant here. He is focusing on LLM's instead of a framework that gets us to AGI. He can't describe how we get there or any such theories around AGI. It's a complete failure.
