    The unfortunate reality is Sam Altman is good at business, we just aren’t defining business accurately. Business is less about making money and more about networking, knowing the right people, lobbying, influencing policy, and controling company image.

      Well no, its absolutely all about money, but the misconception is that the COMPANY needs to make money. But in reality Altman is happy as long as HE makes money. And he does indeed make a lot of money, so by stupid capitalist logic he is a good business man.

      All the other things you mentioned might help with that, but the goal is always for someone to make money.
