On the stand for a second day, Musk is still aiming to establish his importance at OpenAI. We’re seeing emails from Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman in which they lavish praise on Musk. From Sutskever, for instance:
“I enjoy working together. You quickly pushed me out of my academic comfort zone. With time I grew to appreciate the vast depth of your strategic Insight… It helps that we have the most overwhelmingly competent person in the world helping us.”
Brockman comments about “mistakes” being made in the “hard year” of 2017 and also gets effusive:
“In every meeting with you I continue to learn, grow and see the world in a new way. I particularly admire your clarity of purpose… and that you stick to what’s right rather than what’s easy.”
