How is Altman a greedy asshole?

He's been at OpenAI since founding date, he's taken zero economic upside in this venture, and he's now being kicked out - what exactly makes him an asshole?




I got this picture from other dirt revealed during this whole debacle: the fact that he wanted to raise billions to run a chip company for AI (obvious conflict of interests), how he lies and manipulates people, even sexual abuse allegations by his sister.

Brockman sounds great, but not sure why the tech world wants to praise someone like Altman. Maybe more people that I would expect what to be like him, even if it means doing some lying and manipulation from time to time.


Zero economic upside for being the OpenAI CEO? That is difficult to believe.
