The way Sam Altman bungled the Pentagon deal by swooping in a few hours after Anthropic was fired should be grounds for OpenAI finding another CEO.

Nytimes reported that DoW prepped that deal in the background in parallel, as backup for issues with Anthopic. But I agree, optics are terrible.

Why? Give it a couple weeks and everybody will forget about this. They'll be earning more money than previously. Job well done.

it started before that, the openai president donated 20mil to trump the month prior... ellision and kushners also pretty heavily involved with openai and altman is tight with peter thiel

the whole public debacle was planned, the tos isn't stopping the pentagon from doing anything (as we seen with openai now)

What, you think the DoD can only designate one supply chain risk at a time?
