sam altman is probably the greatest ceo of our time. he practically has every major tech CEO investing hundreds of billions of dollars to compete with him, sometimes even colluding (see elon + zuck). I don't know if gates, zuck, or even elon had this level of competition when they were forming their companies. OpenAI still consistently churns out some of the best models and still emerges as the winner in almost every category. my only question is what did @paulg see during that 10 min YC interview

@_shafinsiddique For me I'd say Jensen Huang stands above him in this regard. NVIDIA has a position closer to monopoly and with way less drama. Open AI is facing much more competition and hasn't been around for that long.

@decompiled_dev @_shafinsiddique Nvidia owns the hardware layer so they control the pipeline. OpenAI relies too much on compute partnerships. Hardware moat always wins.
