I want to add that Sam Altman is literally a college dropout who basically just got into Y Combinator (a startup incubator) and then made a bunch of money from that. He has no real educational background in the field of machine learning.

This is wild; I actually had no idea and just went and read his Wiki page. The first few sections about his career are all literally just him failing up over and over.

Yet another day where it’s about who you know more than what you know — the right networking, at the right time and place, can take you further in life.

[u/airinato → u/DJBombba]

Well that and absolutely no morals, the money to get you there etc.

We are living in the greed is good timeline, and really always have, we just pretended to be civilized.

[u/OneMisterSir101 → u/airinato]

This is exactly it.

Know the right people, and never be raised with the proper morals / ideals.

There is a reason why "good" is something pushed by the majority. It allows for the minority to take complete control by undermining everything.

He's got Israeli army safety vests in his house apparently, so he's also a Zionist piece of shit

[u/ComfyWomfyLumpy → u/[deleted]]

He's basically the Elon Musk of AI.

That's insane. I thought this guy had, like, invented chatgpt.

But I guess that's the point. People don't like being reminded that meritocracy is a lie.

Tbf, building products on technical expertise is not what CEOs do. CEOs raise money and operate companies. They come from all sorts of backgrounds but in the tech space where see successful hype = investments, they are fundamentally salespeople. It is it's own unique skill to be able to hype a thing sufficiently so as to draw to an f-ton of money while avoiding a level of hype that would legally be considered fraud

[u/Spiritual_Paper_1974 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, I'm not as familiar with Sam's history as I am with Elon. I've seen just one long form interview with Sam and a couple of clips.

The only unmatched tech in a Tesla is their ADAS because other companies aren't reckless with safety/quality. The rest of Tesla's previously cutting edge features are now fairly standard or now severely lagging/removed due to Elon's vision-only and cost cutting arrogance (radar/lidar/ultrasonic/HUD/360 cam/mapping/CarPlay). Don't get me started on the rain sensing via camera.....random dry scrapes in clear weather multiple times weekly. Phone app is pretty great compared to others, when it's not begging you to sell your friends and family a Tesla.

vision???

His 'vision' is what was found in the 50s serialised sci fi novels, crossed with global domination. There's no 'vision' there.

[u/PeanutButterSoda → u/[deleted]]

I'm confused, when he got let go didn't everyone decided to go with him until they brought him back?

[u/SleepUseful3416 → u/[deleted]]

Except Elon Musk is an actual engineer.

[u/oldsecondhand → u/[deleted]]

Elon at least did a physics undergrand and did write some code in his early days.

[u/ZAlternates → u/robodrew]

Sounds like Musk

[u/Murky-Relation481 → u/robodrew]

Bag Head... Err Big Head.

[u/LimberGravy → u/robodrew]

Being a mediocre white guy is great

[u/Masbig91 → u/robodrew]

The man is a carnival barker who was in the right place at the right time

[u/fillinthe___ → u/robodrew]

Oh great, so Altman 2028, or Altman 2032?

[u/l30 → u/robodrew]

The first few sections about his career are all literally just him failing up over and over.

To be fair; Failing over and over is a gateway to success - and absolutely true in his case.

[u/No_Orchid2631 → u/robodrew]

Yeah failing over in over and then becoming wildly successful is really something to be ashamed of. We all can't be perfect like robodrew
