The only thing you really need to know about the entire OpenAI drama just passed is that it's the dumbest thing ever.
It's essentially a religious debate. Two factions battling over how many angels can fit on the head of a pin -- that is, how fast we should achieve artificial general intelligence, a thing that is absolutely not happening anytime soon.

2. This schism is a theological matter because, according to nearly every expert I've ever interviewed across a decade of covering this topic, we are nowhere near achieving artificial general intelligence, in no small part because we have such a poor understanding of how to build any intelligence—natural or artificial. Altman himself has said he wouldn’t put a date on when we’ll achieve artificial general intelligence.
