It may just be his public persona. I don’t work with him on a day to day basis of course. I find him to be very uninteresting. He speaks with an air of aloof tech-savant but it feels quite hallow, faked, forced.

I can’t think of many examples where he said something in an interview and it really challenged or surprised me. By contrast, any random hour with Lisa Su and you will come away quite impressed and easily understand why she is her company’s leader.

Plenty of smart money behind Altman, though, so maybe he shows up stronger behind the scenes.

[Edit: added "aloof" due to perceived aloofness.]
