Ooooh I just love these tone-deaf sentences.
It's just ... something else altogether!

Almost correct. Being busy for ourselves instead of for Company™ to be more profitable.

There are things I secretly enjoy, but Sam Altman probably is better off not knowing what those are.

I keep busy making widgets because I need the money to survive. If it were not for needing money to survive I would keep just as busy, but I'd be doing other things. This sam guy doesn't seem to posses even a basic understanding of logic.

With the amount of productivity gains we made the past few decades we could all easily work 4 days a week. Except all of that extra productivity has gone fully to the 1% instead of to the general public and infrastructure we need.

I don't know if Sam Altman wants to discover that humans secretly enjoy revenge instead, but shortening the workweek will achieve that goal.
