Among those cheering on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's call to return to work was District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey.
STEVE JENNINGS/Getty Images for TechCrunchcompany is attempting to chase the artificial intelligence dragon that Sam Altman and OpenAI wrought, Altman is joining the old-fashioned chorus of anti-remote work tech CEOs with one of the strongest statements against it.
Altman — the chief executive of San Francisco-based OpenAI — opined against the “experiment” of remote work for staff creativity at a talk hosted by the financial tech giant Stripe. It was first reported by“I think definitely one of the tech industry’s worst mistakes in a long time was that everybody could go full remote forever, and startups didn’t need to be together in person and, you know, there was going to be no loss of creativity,” Altman said during the chat, according to Fortune.
“I would say that the experiment on that is over, and the technology is not yet good enough that people can be full remote forever, particularly on startups.” This isn’t the first time Altman has made his feelings about remote work known, saying that the companies “who rushed to full remote permanently made a big mistake”. That said, even he has exceptions — making the caveat that some of OpenAI’s “best people are remote” in a follow-up response.
He’s also not the first to bang the drum against working from home, even if he is among the most zealous.
