The butterfly effect of workplace conflicts ultimately toppled the power chessboard in the AI community.

CoinJie.com news: There was a major interpersonal conflict between Anthropic’s founders and OpenAI CEO Greg Brockman over project management. Brockman’s excessive involvement in a project led a top researcher to be sidelined, enraging the project lead, Dario Amodei. Amodei subsequently barred Brockman from interfering with the development of the predecessor project that led to ChatGPT’s creation. This workplace rift contributed to Amodei’s team later leaving to found Anthropic, and it also set the stage for subsequent power struggles. In the 2023 Thanksgiving boardroom “coup,” when co-founder Ilya Sutskever removed Sam Altman, one of the core reasons cited was that Altman “couldn’t rein in Brockman.”
