Trying to figure out if Sam Altman is honestly deeply concerned about AI or wants to go the path of preventing competition by asking for more regulations which only big companies like OpenAI can comply with.
Probably both are true but which cause does more regulation help more?
See #181820
Sam Altman strikes me as a non-organic figure assigned a role, i.e. what the schizo internet would call a "glowboy". The same with his employees who actively advocate for taking AI away from everyone else, even if it means killing every last Russian and Chinese person. Insane, politically motivated capture of an entire industry on behalf of western MIC. Insane.

"glowboy"
I see, a fellow Terry A. Davis fan and I know what you actually wanted to write, haha
And thanks for your thoughts about him and OpenAI in general!

LMAO I didn't realize one guy was responsible for the term "glowie", RIP Terry A. Davis

I think it's the latter. I think (I don't know) Sam Altman is power hungry and dangerous.
I listened to a YC podcast a long time ago where the interviewer asked a successful Bay Area insider, "who is the most ambitious person you know?"
They answered Sam Altman. Given his work on WorldCoin and the AI license stuff, I'm beginning to think he's mostly ambitious in the power seeking way and not the make the world a better place way.
