Another character trait emerges on All-In. I wrote before about how Friedburg (and Chamath) don't understand humanities, want to just open up all creative works to AIs and no consideration for the people who made them, etc. And on other issues, Friedburg, while great on the team because he understands so many scientific issues, doesn't seem to be able to understand the issue that there are people involved who have priorities, similar to Elon Musk being a great engineer but less great as a media mogul. And meanwhile, Jcal and David Sacks, who both have media backgrounds, do understand that side of things.
The other trait is that Friedburg seems to hate that Jcal points out uncomfortable but important facts about Palmer Lucky or Stripe's founders or whoever. Sacks used to do that too, not sure if he still can because he's in a party politics machine. It seems they would prefer to just avoid criticizing people. ‘Creates all sorts of problems for the rest of us when you go out and talk s*** about people for no reason.’ Jcal also serves it about Altman regularly. Jcal doesn't pussyfoot. He pays a price for this, but when it comes to appraisals of people, he has integrity and authority, which people who avoid that kind of thing don't have (or want, they have no use for it, and in history just watch powerful people harm others and go out of control).
Jcal probably is getting tired and frustrated though, since he doesn't have Sacks to side with him on these moral issues, and just has Chamath and Friedburg who will probably never agree with him on these things.
