Maybe the being wacky was what led to them having the most valuable product in the world?


I’m guessing that Ilya wouldn’t have joined without the wacky structure, and I’ll wager that there are some people at the company of similar values. Maybe they could not have pulled off ChatGPT without them. Maybe.

Ilya may be a singular talent, however.
