you can see little glimpses of Altman in the rhetoric of nearly all LLM defenders, and this is because he self-consciously acts in a feedback loop with them. breezy optimism and open-ended statements masking a profound lack of human concern for the people being harmed by this shit: Gosh, things sure are changing fast! It really has gotten good hasn't it? Gosh, the morality is murky! Truly being paid six figures to dick around on the computer is the most important thing a human can do! etc
@jplebreton I think part of his followers want to see people to get harmed from this (or whichever) tech. Seen as a way to measure the “velocity” that “progress” is making.
