The post may not be at the extremes, but if the author has been following the issue as closely as it seems, they must be aware that there are people boldly proclaiming Sam Altman to be a sociopath on a daily basis.

The issue has become polarized, for reasons I don't rightly understand, but nevertheless this is where we have ended up.

To write on the topic in this environment it would be advisable to be clear on what they are saying, what they have an issue with, and what the appropriate remedy would be.

To just throw out some insinuations in a "I'm just asking questions" manner doesn't in-itself condemn a person. It isn't happening in isolation though. No snowflake believes itself to be responsible for the avalanche.

They literally did all of that, though?


Its insane how far people are willing to project on their feelings towards Altman. Look at this quote in this thread.

"But it's worth noting that much of Sam Altman's presentation is just a mask (one he puts a ton of effort into and is good at maintaining), even if he's still less evil than the Sacklers or a mob boss."

How do people even come up with this narrative?
