Sam Altman

Unserious answer about a very serious event.

I don't believe a word of Sam's "I believe" section.

Ha, I was giving an AI bootcamp to a room full of people and someone asked me my opinion of Altman. I hesitated for a second and replied that I would not trust Altman further than I could throw a rock about anything.

If Graham says this guy will always stop at nothing to get whatever he wants, which I absolutely believe, then why would you trust anything that comes out of a person like that’s mouth?

Who tf is dumb enough to pay for an AI bootcamp, genuinely curious. If you're selling AI bootcamps, or whoever is, they are just as much a scam artist as Sam.

Who tf is dumb enough to not do it, though?

If I was non-tech and owned a business, and someone (reputable) offers to teach me everything I need to get up to date with the most revolutionary technology of the decade (perhaps century?) for like ... 500 dollars? Why not?

Its neural network autocomplete that helps you write text a little faster, chill with "the most revolutionary technology of the last decade/century" talk. You're offending a lot of experts in way more important areas of research.

>write text a little faster

You might actually need to attend an AI bootcamp. This is not 2022's GPT, AI can deliver plenty of value for a business owner these days.

You're cooked if this is actually how you see AI in 2026.
That’s so shockingly ignorant/reductive that you shouldn’t be surprised when people start ignoring you in technical conversations.
Yeah, people learning new technology is terrible. /s
You don’t even know what is covered. It could be anything from how to prompt to how to create your own models from numpy primitives.
