    I do not trust this man to do anything in my best interest. He is a disingenuous and untrustworthy messenger, and if allowed to continue unchecked will end up the overlord of a new hyper-capitalist dystopian nightmare. I’m genuinely afraid of this guy and people like him.

    I’ll remind folks that this is a man with such appalling hubris that he thinks he should be able to raise trillions of dollars to make his own fantasies come true.

      And an outspoken apocalypse doomsday prepper. Definitely the kind of ideals we want in unilateral control of nuclear power plants. This guy can’t fuck off sooner and any entity that would back his enterprise is either fucking stupid or blinded by greed.

      I would never trust someone who surrounds themselves with the people Altman surrounds himself with. I always got bad vibes from Musk because he was close to people like Peter Thiel and it’s the same with Altman.

      His crypto scheme was already raising eyebrows. When OpenAI board attempted a coup and he clawed back to his seat, it seemed like he had gained complete control over the place.

        The dude really gave off Stephen Holstrom from Pantheon vibes. (Even if they made him look like Steve Jobs)

      He can’t be worse than the ones that are already our overlords. At least he could theoretically free us from slaving our lives away. Probably won’t, but could…
