Like anyone would listen to THIS guy about what is "cool."
You know what's cool? Sociopathic Oligarchs stepping off of high buildings. Give it a try, Sam.

Man what wouldn't I give for a chance to choke out both Sam and Dario.
…but it’s not cool. May be interesting to some that may be in computer and/or science but that might be as far as it goes.
Yeah because they're clinging to what they thought was a world in its last sanest place to them before overzealous CEOs were preaching the choir of AI and how it'll solve everything. It's easy for them to say and do the shit they do because they have no worry, the worst that can happen is the AI bubble popping, if ever. Even if it does, they're still well off because of how much they pocketed by overpromising.
Everyone else got to watch what was once their dreams, be dashed at that cost.
Sam Altman is lame for still breathing
He's basically saying he needs five more years of US tax payer subsidy before he can start turning a profit. LMFAO.
I'd say I really don't want to hear these people's dumb bullshit and it's not worthy of attention, but the limelight seems to be significantly harming them, so send it.
At its best AI is a tool like every other tool that came before it. And I don't ever recall worshipping a fishing rod as much as it wants to drag me up to shore.
AI was cool 5 years ago. It's not anymore.
It was never cool. At best it was a clever parlor trick.
I thought it was neat at first too, but yeah, have definitely lost interest. I'm surprised when I see people at work actually using it like on purpose.
Was it?
Hummmm....
Yeah, I guess it was cool for a few months, then it quickly stopped being cool....
It was cool just long enough for the novelty to wear off and the facts of how it was developed, how environmentally destructive it is, and what it will be used for to come out
Never ceases to amaze me just how checked out from reality these people are.
The generation that can't find work and start their lives because of AI isn't cheerleading for AI. Huh.
Nothing screams disruptive innovation like a billionaire scolding young people for not being excited enough about the technology making entry level jobs disappear. Apparently Gen Z should stop chasing what was cool five years ago and start chasing whatever Sam Altman needs investors to believe is cool this quarter.
Historic elite psychopaths: "let them eat cake"
Late stage capitalism elite psychopaths: "The peasants should welcome our totalitarian dystopia, devoid of cake"
More like “the peasants have too many cords of wood at home, they should be forced to give them to us so they can rent the heat and we can have a monopoly on temperature control and baking. Also they can rent cake from us”

Saying that a whole generation of people are lame and then having one of the lamest pictures in the history of humanity taken of yourself, ok
I read lamest picture and my mind immediately jumped here
It's funny because if he has actually turned into a cool person I bet this would retroactively have become a kind of fun campy picture. But really it's just a reminder of what a disappointment he's turned out to be.
This one is basically impossible to top.
Is this Elon? Lol
Yuuuuuup
Didn't this guy rape his sister?
Honestly, that sounds like a shakedown to me. The case was thrown out, and the family has said she had a variety of mental health issues. She also made a tweet blaming Elon Musk for being homeless, which isn't a good look for her.
Someone else posted on another thread a republican judge threw out case because she medically couldn't move and she wanted somewhere closer to her. They then claimed the below:
she refused to appear for an independent medical examination despite warnings that failure to do so would result in the case’s dismissal.
So in context sounds like they got him off on technicalities. I dont know much else so hopefully someone else fill more.
and the family has said she had a variety of mental health issues
She was raped by her brother. Use your head.
She also accuses her brother of hacking her WiFi and spying on her and a bunch of other paranoid sounding things. Not saying this to discredit her but just put it in context
What a piece of shit
Bro you forgot to attribute the quote properly.
"What a piece of shit" - Altmans Mom, on behalf of the 99%
What a loser, Sam may know how to speak to investors, but he don't know how to speak to people.
Oh, but Zuck, Thiel and Musk certainly do. Totally no awkwardness with these shining beacons of social competence!
If that were true, you could just wait 5 years, Sam. 🤷♂️
The interviewer in the article had the same reaction I had to this sentence : today, gen AI is very close to be the "cool thing five years ago". Rejecting it is not rejecting the new thing anymore.
We've already seen how it does, we've been suffering its consequences, and we hate it.
I'm way before gen Z by the way. If you can't get young people on your side, maybe you're not the visionary you want to be, Sam.
Sam and truth are mutually exclusive
