THE TWO ALREADY GOT RE-HIRED BY MICROSOFT FOR MILLIONS AND ARE WEALTHY BEYOND ANYBODY’S DREAMS
“650 knights leave their kingdom to support their defecting lord” or a “shiny new version of 47 Ronin.”
Jesus Christ we’ve sunk back into feudalism
Mass layoffs in tech industry, I sleep.
Shareholders don’t want the old CEO back, real shit.
Cult of personality if I’ve ever seen it. This is so fucked up.
It’s funny because it’s a clash between the Altman personality cult and the
much larger andactually insane Eliezer Yudkowsky/LessWrong “rationality” cult.Edit: I don’t actually know which is the larger cult so I crossed that out.
By far the largest move of labour solidarity from Silicon Valley coders, 700+/770 OpenAI employees sign a letter to the Board threatening to quit
unless they re-instate the fired CEO and President
Samuel Harris Altman
Is this guy just Sam Harris from another timeline?
Altman was the CEO of Reddit for eight days in 2014
lmao wat?
Altman co-founded Tools For Humanity in 2019, a company building a global iris-based biometric system using cryptocurrency, called Worldcoin. […] Using a distribution mechanism for its cryptocurrency similar to UBI, Worldcoin attempts to incentivize users to join its network by getting their iris scanned using Worldcoin’s orb-shaped iris scanner.
In 2019, Altman held a fundraiser at his house in San Francisco for 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
After the success of ChatGPT, Altman made a world tour in May 2023 where he visited 22 countries and met multiple leaders and diplomats, including British prime minister Rishi Sunak, French president Emmanuel Macron, Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez, German chancellor Olaf Scholz, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, South Korean president Yoon Suk-yeol, and Israeli president Isaac Herzog. He stood for a photo with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen.
The government of Indonesia issued the country’s first “golden visa”, a 10-year border pass, to Altman in September 2023.
This guy is the next Elon I guess. Seems he’s quite cozy with the ‘global rules-based order’ minders.
