Greg Brockman on the only kind of problem he'll work on: "You cannot affect the outcome. You can only affect the inputs... You don't win the Super Bowl by saying, 'I wanna win the Super Bowl.' You win it by blocking and tackling. That's what we have done for this whole year." "Throughout OpenAI, I have always focused on whatever is the most important problem that I think I can move the needle on that just isn't gonna happen without me." "For the past two years, it's been the data centers, the infrastructure, the machine learning engineering... This year, it's really been about the business." "We've figured out how to get the research really humming. We figured out how to get the infrastructure really humming. But how do we really bring this technology to the world?" "A lot of my style is that I like to lead from the trenches, and so I get very deep in the weeds on what the thing is and really try to keep asking a lot of questions... really trying to up-level execution, sometimes in small ways and sometimes large." @gdb @bhorowitz @eriktorenberg
