When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it's collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.

Name a CEO tech bro that isn't a raving douche.

I'll keep my open source generative models and will be happy to watch this bozo and his cultists and the artbros all eat shit all year-round.

Oh I'm streets ahead, I never took him at his word in the first place.

Yeah. It sucks I had to be downvoted into irrelevance way back when this clown was first becoming worshipped by the tech bros.

I don’t take pride in patting myself on the back, but I was fucking right all along about this douche.

It's time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

Was this not obvious at the very least when his own board kicked him to the curb due to an inability to trust him?

he declares that the AI revolution is on the verge of unleashing boundless prosperity and radically improving human life

I think he means productivity will go up 240% and we'll get 8% raises to match, but we'll spend all of it getting nickel-and-dimed on 'premium human concierge' services whenever we get stuck talking in circles with support chatbots. This is the bad place. I bet in 10 years my insurance plan will no longer cover imaging being interpereted by a radiologist

He is a tech bro. Almost everything he is saying is a lie.

not only does he burn through cash, he burns through resources making life worse now for everybody: AI rivals crypto in resource waisting while not contributing at all to any improvements. I fail to see "brighter future" for us through AI as it is energy-intensive, unsustainable endeavor for which we are woefully unprepared both materially (energy efficiency, semiconductor manufacturing/recycling, etc) and psychologically (ethics etc.). Yeah, grand on paper, terrible in reality

I never took him at his word.

the techbros that think that with sufficiently advanced AI we could solve climate change are so stupid. like, we might not have a perfect solution, but we have ideas on how to start to make things better (less car-centric cities, less meat and animal products, more investment in public transport and solar), and it gets absolutely ignored. why would it be different when an AI gives the solution? unless they want the "eat fat-free food and you will be thin" solution to climate change, in which we change absolutely nothing of our current situation but it is magically ecological

I wonder what this clowns daily PR budget is?

Each one of these fake news stories are generally 15k a pop

Do you remember when crypto scammer Sam Bankman was running thousands daily for years...

Similar vibes here

The best time to stop taking Altman seriously was ten years ago.

The second best time is now.

He’s the musk in making

People did that? Lol
