CEOs aren’t hired to be the best coders, they’re hired to allocate capital and direction
If the models ship and the company wins, nobody’s asking him to debug PyTorch
Technical depth matters, but leverage matters more at that level
Feels like judging a coach for not playing quarterback anymore

Of all the things about Altman, this is the least concerning.

The CEO of the world’s leading AI company mixing up basic AI terms is either deeply concerning or the strongest possible endorsement that the product actually works without understanding it…

I remember when people were screaming bloody murder about him being fired. I’d love to see what those people think nowadays.

Just like Elon doesnt know how to build rockets and cars. He just hires people who do.
Creativator on
He understands how to hype investors and that’s the most important qualification the company needs from him.

Sam Altman is there to lead, communicate, strategize, organize, build relationships, create confidence, deal with media, do public relations, address concerns, and attract capital. You know, high-level work that CEOs need to do to make companies successful.
Do people think CEOs like him are supposed to have the same expertise that the front line workers and engineers have?

He is not a developer, he is a salesman. And a pretty good salesman, at least in selling OpenAI shares.
SkinnedIt on
He sounds like a textbook example of a CEO: an executive that doesn’t understand anything about what the rank-and-file do to make their company work. Other people are paid to do that.
Should at least have some of the core principles pinned down though, if only to save face.

Perhaps Sam Altman was the AI we made along the way

Hospital CEO not a great surgeon, more at 5.

WTF does that matter?

Is that unusual?
Do you expect the CEO or Ford to know how to build a piston?

Just based on the title, isn’t that the case with most CEOs? Even Steve Jobs wasn’t much of a programmer. He’s considered by some to be a great visionary, but not a great programmer.
Tokzillu on
Lmao at all the goobers defending him ITT. „He’s a CEO, not a programmer!“
How much you wanna bet all these same people complain that their boss or bosses boss don’t know the work? Oh, but special Sammy gets a pass because he’s a *marketing genius* for selling snake oil to gullible rubes!
People are dumb.
illucio on
It was really clear to me he didn’t know how to code the more he’s asked basic ass questions.
I always assumed he didn’t know how to and was confused when people propped him up like a genius.
America really wants their next Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking badly.
I will never understand our world’s fascination of trying to figure out who is the smartest greatest mind in the world and that person is a citizen of their country.

Literally damn near every single tech billionaire can’t put a hammer to a nail. Ridiculous

I keep seeing these articles being spammed everywhere. Who cares. Obviously someone is trying to manipulate the Market. Like why do I need this information. I could care less what Sam eats for breakfast

Sounds Ike a typical CEO…. Doesn’t know shit about shit. They can only talk

Well that’s the point of having employees, yes?
Do you think the CEO of Toyota can weld? Does the CEO of Birkshire have a master’s in electrical engineering?
Facebook built a data centre in my country. You should have seen how handy Zuckerberg is with a hammer, and the plumbing he did was perfect!
You really believe that the leader of a company has mastered all trades and is working on the floor instead of (trying) to be a leader?
Amesenator on
So basically he’s the Elon Musk of the AI field?

Is the CEO of McDonald’s a chef, or is Disneys an animator? This is just rage bait.
GooseCloaca on
Sounds about right. He always has an expression on his face that he’s about to caught.
Panda_hat on
Because he’s a salesman, nothing else.
Grifter, conman, scammer extraordinaire.
In a sane world he would have been going door to door selling food mixers or knife sets.
quothe_the_maven on
He’s a scumbag. But he’s there to raise money – not code. And he’s incredibly good at it
Shadyrabbit on
I work with AI bros, they cant code either, they used to be able to but now they just gamble on prompts all day
Arrow156 on
No fucking shit, you think Bezo knows how to navigate one of his warehouses? The people who actually know how to do shit are far too busy to be mugging it up for the cameras. CEO’s are hypemen, little else. They exist to convince people to ~~gamble~~ invest in their company.

The kiddie fucker Elon Musk 2.0 snakeoil salesman is a grifter? Who would have thought

None of these rich idiots are what they claim to be.
They just have money and steal credit while acting like ‚genius futurists‘. They act like Tony Stark while in reality they are not even Obidiah Stane.

Time to replace his job with AI. But for real, I don’t get why CEOs still exist. They are the most expensive position in a company, and all they do is communicate which is the thing AI excels best at.

Well these mba candidates only exist to enshittify things.
