    Although I don’t agree with Sam Altman’s vision, this article is just an opinion piece because the author doesn’t like what Sam Altman says.

  2. Don’t take Sam Altman, or any other Tech Bro at their word, they almost to a man lie over and over.

    Did we ever take Sam Altman at his word? Also, junk journalism.

    While Sam Altman is sketchy as hell, there is pretty good reason to believe that AI may get a whole lot better very very quickly based on the research OpenAI is currently doing with reinforcement learning, and what we’ve seen reinforcement learning do in the past.

    Just because they aren’t trustworthy and behave unethically doesn’t mean their research is insignificant

    Wait, I was *supposed* to be taking him at his word prior to this!? I just assumed everybody thought of him as a noise-generating techbro.

  7. It’s time to stop concentrating on individual rich persons and focus on universal and egalitarian rules governing all business people.

  8. It’s time to stop taking anyone at their word, period. I wish more people would do research instead of mindlessly scrolling social media.

    really funny to see this headline in one of many news outlets that takes every moron tech “founder” type at their word

    > (The Atlantic recently entered a corporate partnership with OpenAI.)

    The article is nothing but a puff piece? Am I supposed to subscribe to see the full thing?

    Seems like they’re just trying to bait out discussions on AI…..

    The more I learn about Sam Altman the more it sounds like he’s cut from the same cloth as Elizabeth Holmes or Sam Bankman-Fried. He’s peddling optimism to investors who do not understand the subject matter.

    Yea, people took Elon Musk at his word years ago as well and now look at him… yikes.

    All rich people lie through their teeth. All they care about is money.

    I think it’s important to reflect on what people say and to criticise these things and ask questions. I also recognise how many people blindly followed Elon in the beginning, I’ll sheepishly admit I was excited, he was supposed to be the real life batman.

    I guess where I question this is he’s selling a vision, and he’s in a very good position to speak toward where AI is currently, I’m sure he has access to models and things spoken of. I don’t hear promise of things I wouldn’t want for all of us, and I think AI is a very valid step to obtaining these things, so is the criticism of this that some people outright don’t believe it? or they don’t want it? or is there some other aspect of this I’m not seeing regarding how pointed people are toward him?

  15. Oh, now is the time? Thanks Atlantic, I’ll take that under advisement.

    “The Atlantic is owned by **Emerson Collective**, a social impact organization founded and led by **Laurene Powell Jobs**, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Emerson Collective acquired a majority stake in The Atlantic in 2017. Laurene Powell Jobs has since been involved in shaping the magazine’s future while maintaining its editorial independence.”

    Wonder if she has an interest in Apple’s proprietary AI vs. OpenAI…hmmmmm

    edit: Looked it up. She got 5.5 Million shares post Steve’s death. You bet your ass she has an interest.

  17. he tried making a blog application back in the day. 1. _tried_ 2. blog.

  18. When a person becomes a billionaire, they no longer have the average person’s best interest at heart

    Open ai, a once open source company with the cor belief that the only way to keep the world safe from ai was to let everyone access it, then became proprietary the moment it became popular enough to be profitable and is now aimed to go public.

    If I was an initial investor, I’d sue
