Larry Ellison: You're saying Elon's an idiot. The guy's landing rockets! Who are you!?

“Elon doesn't know what he's doing, he'll have to go out for money, I'm really smart, I work for the Wall Street Journal ...

Who are you? This guy's landing rockets. You know, he's landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean. And you're saying he doesn't know what he's doing? You ever land a rocket?

You're telling me he's an idiot. I just want to know who you are so I know, why I should believe you, as opposed to my friend Elon?

And we're out here watching this rocket land, which I think is really cool, and you're there in front of your Apple Macintosh and typing up an article saying, Elon's an idiot.”

If this is really some EA, decel, AI safety coup at OpenAI, the board just torched $80B of value, destroyed a shining star of American capitalism, and will be sued to high heaven by investors.

Every talented employee at OpenAI should quit and join Sam/Greg's new thing (if they make one). This time, skip the woke non-profit board, eject the decels/EAs, maintain founder control, avoid nonsensical regulation, and just build. Accelerate progress. You are building something good for the world, don't let anyone make you feel guilty for it and try to capture it for their own motives.

Sam Altman is a hero of mine. He built a company from nothing to $90 Billion in value, and changed our collective world forever. I can't wait to see what he does next. I, and billions of people, will benefit from his future work- it's going to be simply incredible. Thank you @sama for all you have done for all of us.

[Neri Oxman @NeriOxman]

Thank you so much, @lexfridman, for elevating the art of conversation to the power of connection. I loved our time together and am grateful for the meaning we found. And thank you—X friends—for your patience in hearing me out and taking me in, one insight at a time.

@lexfridman, you are to me the very embodiment of E. E. Cummings’ “Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question” and I am honored to call you a friend.
