Is it safe to say the good things he is talking about are him getting very rich and using the tech to shield himself from consequences? And the bad things will happen to everyone else?
Hey Sam I have some bad outcomes I'd like you to accept for foisting your profit driven scheme upon us. Come over here and I'll show you what I have in mind.
I mean if we have to suffer a version of France in 1793 because of AI, I'm very much okay with that then.
Glad we agree there Mr. Altman.
I can think of a few bad things for Sam to accept.
Serious Marie Antoinette vibes..
Fuck off.
he alledged SA'ed his sister for 9 years.
Weak case. I wanted it to be true (sorry) just so Sam gets punished, but.. yeah, the more likely story is her sister is as crazy as him.
I'm interested as to why you find the case to be weak when the case has yet to be heard by a court or anyone else?
This is a very serious issue, the rape of a child by a close family member, throwing around words like crazy before a hearing does not help victims of pedophilia.
Because everyone in her life is against her. That is very telling. No one confirms her story or sides with her.
That is very untypical in such scenarios because it's very easy to defend the victim.
“Eat shit so I can profit” - Altman
The problem is that we're being asked to shoulder the externalized costs while still having to pay for the benefits.
Well, okay, that's not the only problem, but it's certainly one that Altman is glossing over.
To the risk-takers go the spoils. So, I'm taking the risk here, right? Spoil me, Sam, spoil my Venmo hard.
The dude is being worst than Farquaad from Shrek.
If you want to make an omelette, you're going to have to break a couple eggs. The eggs are yours, by the way. And the omelette is going to destroy your house when I cook it. And I'm not going to pay you for anything. In fact, pay me for the eggs.
The omelette will be poisonous.
And taste god awful
The modern day Three Little Pigs fable
I’m really sick and tired of accepting ‘bad things’
Dear Sam Altman,
Fuck you.
Sincerely,
The People
No.
Sounds a lot like what Charlie Kirk said about guns…
Accept going back to using papers and faxes.
He can't even articulate a point. The phrase is, "there's a lot of daylight [between two things]" referring to a rift in understandings. You don't just say "there's a lot of daylight", that just means it's daytime.
He uses AI all the time, he's shared many stories of his daily usage of it.
It's surprising he can even still form an independent thought tbh.
he replaced his brain with AI chips, borrowed from Zuckerborgs android.

"Many of you will die, and that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!"
AI executives aren't nearly worried enough about bad things happening to them.
Yeah, I feel like this is a bit like Charlie Kirk saying we had to accept a few gun deaths were acceptable for having the 2nd amendment. Easy thing to say, until you have a bullet in your neck.
These AI CEOs are fine with bad things happening to other people. Their tune would be different if they were affected.

Altman needs to be thrown, bodily, into an active volcano
Honestly that doesn’t seem like enough. I think he should be left alone in an unpadded cell with only a mirror.
Define "cruel and unusual"
"Benefits"
His face needs to stop looking like that. It's making me angry.
What are the benefits, Sam?
He didn't say they're benefits for us. There are plenty of benefits for Sam. And we're a sacrifice he's willing to make.
Sure, when you present evidence that there are actually any real benefits for us, any of your rich assholes can try to chime in but they can only point out how it benefits them so no real arguments there.
Currently you're just a snake oil salesman so FUCK OFF!!
They should just go to prison for stealing data / work of people. They knowingly used illegally obtained data to “train” off of.
Yeah so that he can enrich himself. Hope your AI bites you in the ass Altman.
Sounds similar to "some people will need to die in order for the rest of us to keep guns"
Now if only someone could expedite the swift ending the asshole who said that last thing got for this current asshole.
May these techbros end up butt chugging hydrochloric acid.
12M HCL to be exact, huffing off the off-gassing.
Sure, I’ll accept every bad thing that happens to Altman
Ah yes, the popular lose/lose situation.
nah, im good
