I hope you have great life. Need more like you in this world.
I didn’t read the whole article, but this I know about Sam. He took his own money and started a UBI experiment to see what happens if you just give people free money.
Anybody who does that… unless it’s just propaganda, I don’t know how you can say anything bad about him.
People hate on these billionaires, and I get it. They are people like us with mistakes.
But I think we become too cynical at times. Yes we are all selfish. But so what. We can learn to work with Sam and be grateful for the good he does anyway… even if he doesn’t care about us! But he is advocating UBI with his own money so I don’t mind him getting rich.
OpenAI sped up the democratization of LLMs by atleast a few years, and although that's mostly thanks to their engineers, I'd like to thank Altman as well.
I'm a software engineer and so much of my work has gotten significantly easier because of OpenAI.
> Altman pulled from science fiction stories, he told the journalists he’s not trying to achieve immortality, but rather wants to “give people another 10 years of healthy, vigorous life.”
I get that CEOs don't actually care, but this one promised that the advances in AI was going to help us. Which he had me already fooled with the "Open" part of OpenAI. It honestly gave me hope that AI was going to make a positive difference for the moral good and not for greed, but shrugs it is what it is.
As a software engineer, OpenAI did not help me much. I tried it out but I just went back to using Google and StackOverflow.
Reminds me of a Woody Allen joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPbzP19dlgM
The poor already have shit life, shouldn't they be glad it's over quick?
Making change through politics is great, but not everyone can do it.
