Has people start making Sam Alternator’s AI image doing incendiary stuff? Maybe we should start doing that.
How do we not know that this isn’t an AI generated Sam Altman?
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.
The best time was 100 years ago. The second-best time is now.
Hear hear!
I think the quote that “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” is a bit older, and said about all the lessons of history before it.
Somehow humanity doesn’t like the wisest rules out there. And prefers to read Palanick and talk about post-modernism instead of looking at the root.
We should never have taken them at their word.
Not just CEOs… basically everyone.
We should be taking them with the rope…
We should take CEOs with fava beans and a nice bottle of chianti.
ehh as much as everybody loves this sentiment… at the end of the day, those days are over. going that route, you get Syria type shit.
violence at this point is a red herring. there are ways to engage tho but it requires people to take personal responsibility improve their lives and show solidarity with like minded people and the under class. if critical mass ever hits this, things can change.
Eat the rich doesn’t have to mean literally.
Yeet the rich does though.
Yea yea but we can’t even have the state tax them properly and stop giving their “legal persons” endless amounts of money
It’s time to take CEO’s money away!
The easiest way to stop him is to walk up to him and whisper into his ear “end computer similation” and he will just disappear.
The word is it’s time to take the CEOs away
AI skeptics dont live in the real world
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 don’t think you’re imagining the same thing they are when you hear the word “AI”. They’re not imagining a computer that prints out a new idea that is about as good as the ideas that humans have come up with. Even that would be amazing (it would mean that a computer could do science and engineering about as well as a human) but they’re imagining a computer that’s better than any human. Better at everything. It would be the end of the world as we know it, and perhaps the start of something much better. In any case, climate change wouldn’t be our problem anymore.
That’s the thing, there could be a human 10’000x smarter than Einstein telling us what to do… And it would still not happen.
I disagree with you, because a modern human could offer the people of the distant past (with their far less advanced technology) solutions to their problems which would seem miraculous to them. Things that they thought were impossible would be easy for the modern human. The computer may do the same for us, with a solution to climate change that would be, as you put it, magically ecological.
With that said, the computer wouldn’t be giving humans suggestions. It would be the one in charge. Imagine a group of chimpanzees that somehow create a modern human. (Not a naked guy with nothing, but rather someone with all the knowledge we have now.) That human isn’t going to limit himself to answering questions for very long. This isn’t a perfect analogy because chimpanzees don’t comprehend language, but if a human with a brain just 3.5 times the size of a chimpanzee’s can do so much more than a chimpanzee, a computer with calculational capability orders of magnitude greater than a human’s could be a god compared to us. (The critical thing is to make it a loving god; humans haven’t been good to chimpanzees.)
Imagine Jesus Christ as a time traveler, going back from a dying planet to just about the dawn of both roads and also safer sea travel than previously, those two connecting what would become the entire modern world.
Jesus: like, forget all this “religion” crap about what foods to eat & where & when & with who, and like, just be excellent to one another dudes & dudettes
Everyone since then, especially those who borrow His actual fucking name to label themselves: um… how about “no”?
There was a (fiction) book I was called “all the birds in the sky”. I really liked it. Highly recommend.
One of the plot threads is a rich tech bro character that’s like “the world is doomed we need to abandon it for somewhere else. Better pour tons of resources into this sci-fi sounding project”. And I’m just screaming at the book “use that money for housing and transport and clean energy you absolute donkey”.
There are a lot of well understood things we could be doing to make the world better, but they’re difficult for idiotic political reasons. Racism, nimbyism, emotional immaturity, etc.

I never took him at his word.
Seriously, what dipshit is going, “hmm well now he’s gone too far!”
I would like to be able to listen to someone who is at the top of their game since it’s most likely them who know the most. If they are the CEO of a company about the thing, that would make sense. I’ve seen plenty of enthusiasts start their own company because they had a lot of knowledge on the subject. Who do i look for the best information about the tech of tomorrow if not the people who are making it?
Sam is actually a liar though.
Everyone in open source AI has been calling him a snake ever since llama1 came out. If you want a more authoritative source, look to the CEO of huggingface, oldschool AI researchers and such.
He is not the one making it.
Yann LeCun would probably be a better source. He does actual research (unlike Altman), and I’ve never seen him over-hype or fear monger (unlike Altman).
Now this is a sh.itjust.works comment if I ever saw one. Gold medal, keep it up.
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
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.
That’s a very sharp prediction, thanks. I will run that by some people.
Yeah this might actually not be that far from reality. Computer vision already did a large amount of the lifting, with the massive pushes towards AI, AI will take the rest of us plebians healthcare.
Considering how fractured medical billing is these days, often the techs contracted by your in-network doctors office are actually out-of-network.
Isn’t medical billing fun?
Surprise Medical Billing has mostly been nerfed after the No Surprises Act here in the US. After 2022, so long as you went to an INN provider, then you can’t be charged OON pricing for any OON services that you may have encountered during that visit.

Also, I work in insurance as a software engineer
The way claims get sent back during billing I became suspicious a lot of them are getting read by machine (and very poorly) during the first round of mail so don’t worry medical billing will get even more fun thanks to AI
The best time to stop taking Altman seriously was ten years ago.
The second best time is now.
You shouldn’t judge people on appearances.
… but, I mean, come OOON… he looks like a reanimated Madame Tussaud’s sculpture. Like someone said, “Give me a Wish.com Mark Zuckerberg… but not so vivacious this time.” And he’s the CEO of an AI-related company.
Who is Sam Altman?
(This is a rethorical question)
He is the cousin of Sam Mainman, who is an actual human being.
And also the cousin of Sam Neuman. Another con artist, but this one relying on novel techniques.
Don’t forget the lesser known Sam Shiftman and Sam Ctrlman.
I’m just glad Sam Delman is in jail for killing those processes.
I hear Sam Metaman is actually a pretty chill dude, compared to his cousins.
The guy that was lying since day one? Why?
He is a tech bro. Almost everything he is saying is a lie.
*“Podcast-bro”
Almost everything tech bros say is to boost short term share prices. Any resemblance to the truth is coincidental.
*parasite…
Nothing bro about this shit stain…
People did that? Lol
