Not taking equity in OpenAI has been a mistake: Sam Altman
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on the podcast that not having equity in OpenAI "has been a mistake". "I did it for what I thought were good reasons. I think it's just been hugely confusing to people," he said. "It's just weird. And...people don't like weird," Altman added, comparing it to an artist working hard without earning much.
