There's nothing in here you haven't already heard:
* He's close with Peter Thiel
* He's an ace networker (but, completing the stereotype, is also an introvert)
* He left YC, not entirely voluntarily, because he was too committed to OpenAI to do the YC job
* Echoing YC, the OpenAI board tried to oust him over concerns that he was being manipulative and pursuing outside interests (a chip firm) that conflicted with the mission
The article doesn't seem to have much to say past that. If you go to an Altman house party, you'll apparently get a blanket if you want one. But, like, you'll also get one of those on a Delta flight, so.
It feels like people are a bit obsessive about this guy.
