Billionaire thinks you should accept the misery he's imposing on you. He's only stopping short of telling you to stop complaining about it.

Fuck Scam Altman

In this case I think he should accept some bad things happening for the good of everyone: take away all his money, all his assets, everything he ownsy leave him pennyless and use that money to help feed and educate poor kids.

What benefits? Are there any benefits so far? It's taking people's jobs away, uses massive amounts of water and electricity, stealing everything creative the human race has produced, is most likely creating a financial bubble and is robbing many professions from ever having an experienced work force, due to no entry level jobs.

And yet, the pull of being able to pretend they’re musicians and artists is far too strong to convince these dumass kids to stop using it.

Can the bad thing happen to him instead of us peasants? Like, let's go to his house with our biggest speaker and play loud noise 24/7.

I don't care what benefits AI because what benefits people, as a whole, is all that should matter. Not sure AI is the way.

Hi,
When he says "the benefits" he's referring to himself being disgustingly rich.

Can one of those things be Sam Altman being decapitated by a guillotine?

I would very much be okay with that.
Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk, Putin, Trump and Netanyahu as well.

I'd remind Sam Altman that Charlie Kirk said the same thing about guns, and even he would eventually lean left on the issue.

Pretty much every techbro thing is coded speech for that.

"All this data will optimize your life" > I'm going get rich from selling your data.

"Everyone will have this hot new gadget. Don't be left behind." > I've got investors lined up to make me a billionaire. (Then I'm going to double dip by mining all your data with it, and triple dip by introducing ever increasing fees).

If slop actually kills a tech CEO, that would at least be something novel!

Yep. Came here to basically say I'm willing to withstand some pretty bad shit to see AI fail.

What's the line from the beginning of the Mummy movie? "I would pay 1000 [insert currency here] to see him hanged".

Funny, I think Sam Altaman should accept several bad things happening to him, his holdings, and his project for the betterment of Humanity.
