For weeks, they’d been having furtive discussions about whether Sam Altman, OpenAI’s C.E.O., and Greg Brockman, his second-in-command, were fit to run the company. Sutskever had once counted both men as friends.
According to Savitt, once Brockman and Ilya Sutskever built an AI model capable of besting DOTA 2 players in 2017 and realized the importance of compute, they held dozens of meetings that included Musk, Jared Birchall (CEO of Neuralink and Musk’s long-time wealth manager), and Shivon Zilis ( you know ), about how to structure OpenAI for-profit.
