Susan Zhang argues that OpenAI’s nonprofit-era output—achieved with about $100 million in funding—remains unmatched today. She emphasizes that former OpenAI employees haven’t reproduced those results and provocatively asks whether the shortfall stems from lack of skill, excessive appetite ("gluttony"), or not being "delulu" (ambitiously delusional) enough.
Susan Zhang (@suchenzang) claims that after OpenAI's nonprofit era, when it had roughly $100 million in funding, no one has matched the capabilities OpenAI produced then.
Time to be a bit delusional: I could do a lot.

it's kind of crazy how no one has come close to producing what openai was able to produce in its nonprofit era with ~$100mil in funding
not even ex-openai "veterans"
skill issue? or gluttony issue? or not-delulu-enough issue?
