Gary Marcus claims content creator Theo may be paid by OpenAI for promoting its models despite limited technical depth in AI topics
Theo quoted the accusation in a reply on X.
@theo you want to me share some of the evidence that was sent?
Theo - t3.gg@theoI thought this guy was supposed to be smart?
@theo Good for you (not sarcastically, but genuinely), assuming this is true.
Theo - t3.gg@theo@GaryMarcus I am not paid by OpenAI. I was offered a small appearance fee for being in a video once and I refused it. I was also offered a free sub for a year and refused that too. I pay them over $40k/month for inference on T3 Chat.
update: Theo (I still don’t really know who he is) reports that he has not in fact accepted fees from OpenAI.
Gary Marcus@GaryMarcusanother of the dudes going after me (Theo) is perhaps paid by OpenAI 🙄
@theo taking you at your word i am deleting my tweet. i hope you will considering doing me the same favor with respect to my own clarifications.
