    These CEOs could give a shit about the harm Musk will do to regular folks. They just don’t want to see their own businesses suffer over it.

    I’m a bit out of the loop but if I understand correctly Altman contacted Musk a few years ago to discuss AI. They decided to create OpenAI so there is an open source alternative to Google for AI.

    Then Altman saw that there was too much money at stake and decided to just go for profit all the way?

      There was a falling out between them after the board picked altman instead of Elon as ceo.

      Now Elon is suing openai nominally because there renegging on the whole non profit thing, but really because he has his own xai that is competition and because of the grudge because he’s a petty manchild.

      Altman is a business bro, thats very on point for him. I just don’t know why people even listen to his shit

      There’s even hard proof that when he was telling the public they would release their research for public good and in the meeting with other stakeholders he was saying completely opposite.

      He lies to literally everyone but still people regard him high

        So, politics is his next move, then?

          He’s CEO of a large company. He’s already in politics. Politicians do the bidding of people like Altman.

    “guys, I thought when we removed checks and balances and due process and accountability and made power and wealth for personal benefit at all cost our golden idol that…well that only applies to the poors right? I mean there is no timeline in which that would ever be used against me unfairly right? I understood it that I am only allowed to benefit from this sort of arrangement. Right ? Guys?”

    It’s difficult for hubris and naivety to coexist but he’s managed to pull it off with this panicked effort. Seriously the Wiley Coyote moment as he looks down and feels the first tug of gravity.

      Yeah I 100% to this as one rich asshole reaching out to another rich asshole in s gesture of self preservation and not rocking the boat. Trump’s job is to be the moral shield.

      He strikes me as a “wannabe American”. As someone who has lived in the US, but didn’t necessarily want to immigrate on a permanent basis, you can smell the deep insecurity with Elmo.

        Well, considering his wealth, I’d say he’s living an American dream to its fullest extent.

          I never heard “born rich” as part of the American dream. The idea behind the American dream is that you COULD become as wealthy as Elon, starting from nothing. Not only is that not true for him, but that hasn’t been true about any billionaire.

            His wealth before coming to US is incomparable to his wealth today. If you start with a $1,000 today and for the American dream like he did, you’ll be a multimillionaire.

              Lmao you think he came to America with $1,000? His family ownes an emerald mine in South Africa. Where does that fall into the American dream?

                His emerald mine owning family is dirt poor compared to Elon. You’re free to move the goalposts all you want but what Elon is doing is quite literally chasing the american dream.

                  Do you not understand that once you have certain amount of money to play with, I think it used to be $100,000, becoming a millionaire becomes significantly easier. Elon has taken zero part in the “American Dream”.
