evacideThe tl;dr here is that something that most people in Silicon Valley already know: Sam Altman lies a lot. Just constantly. About big and little things. And every effort to hold him accountable has failed. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/04/13/sam-altman-may-control-our-future-can-he-be-trusted
Nienkez 🔻@evacide @regendans The article loses instant credibility by using an AI generated image.
D2Or — and hear me out on this wild idea — mock and scorn that AI image separately from evaluting the 50-70 *pages* of content making the same points you’d make.
@cascheranno @evacide @regendans sure, but if you use it, you loose credibiltity in criticising it. Just pay a photographer for a creepy picture of Altman. It is not hard. Instead you say Altman is an untrusthworthy man, but I prefer to use his crap than pay an actual human.
@Nienkez @evacide @regendans lose? Ok. Zero out? Given how many editorial and management pressures exist between author and publication, I just grimace and boost my skepticism.
@cascheranno @evacide But if you don't have the courage of your convictions, it is pointless. You let them rewrite history.
@Nienkez @evacide I mean, are we talking about the board of directors who the article discusses, people pressured to not speak out, the writer(s) of this article, managing editors, whoever controls their hiring /firing?
Having pissed off a billionaire, I can vouch for how one’s choices shift when it’s “fight and be broke, vs. affording to send your kids to college”.
