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.
