    He’s delighted that the jobs apocalypse is underway when he predicted it wouldn’t happen. Okay, so?

      It’s not random guesses, it’s intentional fictions to make investing in ‘AI’ companies sound like a good idea.

      They think they can lie their way to real AI by convincing investors to pour enough money into them that poof real AI emerges.

      They’re not going to get the poof they’re hoping for.

      That’s what heads of State, heads of Corporations, heads of your HOA - are for: making public statements.

      Yeah, that’s been all the rage for about a decade now.

      Wasn’t his sister also developmentally disabled? Is that right? CEO Billionaire Sam Altman violently raped his disabled sister then admitted to it like it was a relatable situation?

      I was thinking of a different rich white guy that raped his sister.

      Not every rich white guy, but seemingly always a rich white guy.

      Odd. I thought he was gay.

      I know there’s no rule saying gay people can’t rape people.

      But for some reason, my brain reacted with “Odd…” 🤔

      There’s actually a pretty long and interesting story behind this. Entire family even wrote a letter discrediting the claims. The claims coincidentally re-started after her bills were no longer getting paid. An apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and we already know Altman has pathological lying disorder

      This is why these claims never really go anywhere because mostly everyone realizes it’s BS

      Wealthy background. Dropped out, got lucky with a startup and sold his stake for a decent sum, gaining enough momentum to keep failing upward.

      The guy is absolutely clueless, which can be mathematically proven on the basis of the fact that he invested in a crypto firm.

        He didn’t get lucky… him and others bamboozled investors into buying Loopt which was never functional, once sold, it shut down in months. Exactly what he is doing right now

          I wish I had no morals… Life is so easy when you don’t give a single fuck about what you do to others… It’s so infuriating to see how many wealthy people have amazing lives because they simply don’t give a single fuck about anything but themselves.

          Sociopathy is greatly rewarded in this stupid world we live in. :/

          I didn’t really look into what this startup did, but it doesn’t surprise me. Elon Musk has a very similar kind of story, bullshitting his way to being a billionaire. The system is very heavily stacked in favour of dishonest people.

            The system is very heavily stacked in favour of people with a lot of money to start with. Then, those that are “willing to risk it” can reap outrageous returns when their longshots come in. We don’t see the losers, but the ones that hit their longshots are what we have “at the top” now.

      I just want to be clear, most CEOs aren’t smart. They have a slightly higher median intelligence than the wider population, but by and large CEOs are no more talented than your average used car salesman. While there’s certainly outliers (on both sides), most intelligent people don’t start careers in a field with an 80%+ chance of failure in the first 5 years. Altman’s success in particular is 50% luck, 50% being a very convincing liar. These people aren’t geniuses, they pay people to think for them, which is why having a machine think for them sounds like a great idea.

    “I’m delighted to ⁠be wrong about this, I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs being eliminated by now than ​has actually happened,” Altman told CBA Chief Executive Matt Comyn in a virtual interview at a Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) conference in Sydney (via Reuters).

    …he says after two years of some of the biggest tech layoffs in history that have impacted numerous tech businesses.

    Maybe he just means he knows the companies are lying about layoffs for AI and it’s just an excuse to cut labor, but I doubt it.

      Yeah the job market is teetering and quite frankly I think the numbers coming out are a little cooked these days, because they paint a rosier picture than I see around me.
