It’s really funny to re read this with that perspective.

>My kid was really surprised to find out that Sam cofounded this company.

>Sam is going better than you. Do better.

Etc. I don’t know that you’re right, since these do sound like praise, but it’s kind of a funny game to change the tone and make them into catty insults.

Really? It seems like a glowing appraisal. He seems to think that Sam is devestatingly effective at what he does.

Agree. Reads like a warning more than praise - do not cross Altman because he will rip your face off.

I read it like so.
