sam altman tends to refer to any downsides of AI as "society will need to figure this out" whereas any good things are "ChatGPT will enable people to do this"

privatize the profits, socialize the losses i guess

in the same thought, he talks about how kids love voice mode and it's amazing, but also "society will need to figure out guard rails" for parasocial relationships. essentially "We made a really good drug but _society_ needs to figure out how to not get people addicted to it"

he has no problem with the man telling us how to live - it'll just be the government and not him, that way he can play the victim

I mean yea.. it's called personal responsibility. It's important for a culture to cultivate that unless you want to live in a nanny state where the man tells you how to live and what you can do with your life

Sam is a very dangerous mind. Hopefully things can remain corrective.

planting causal loops; harvesting reflexivity

yes i saw the reddit thing, pretty crazy haha

i fundamentally really distrust him and hope there is a way to get him out of openai sooner rather than later

also go look for the -long con- sam altman reddit post (from when he stole it from the founders with shitty ass manipulation techiniques and, then had the gals to publicly accept it)

also look into his blogposts on creating bot the problems (ai, dead internet) and solutions (worldcoin, kyc for proof of human) so you can -sell your solution- to the problem u made in the first place

yeah that's also why they want to capture lawmakers so they get a free pass

I get the vibes his idea of the anthropological leans towards non-interventionist Margaret Mead-ism and ... well, neuroscience & archeological analysis of societal collapse has pushed us and other related fields in a more balanced direction. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ If he said to an STS person "I just make the thing" they'd likely give you the what for 😆
