- athairmor@lemmy.worldEnglish17 hours
It’s not random guesses, it’s intentional fictions to make investing in ‘AI’ companies sound like a good idea.
They think they can lie their way to real AI by convincing investors to pour enough money into them that poof real AI emerges.
They’re not going to get the poof they’re hoping for.

Even if those accusations are false, the man still had a billion dollars while his sister was homeless.

Wasn’t his sister also developmentally disabled? Is that right? CEO Billionaire Sam Altman violently raped his disabled sister then admitted to it like it was a relatable situation?I was thinking of a different rich white guy that raped his sister.
Not every rich white guy, but seemingly always a rich white guy.

Odd. I thought he was gay.
I know there’s no rule saying gay people can’t rape people.
But for some reason, my brain reacted with “Odd…” 🤔

There’s actually a pretty long and interesting story behind this. Entire family even wrote a letter discrediting the claims. The claims coincidentally re-started after her bills were no longer getting paid. An apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and we already know Altman has pathological lying disorder
This is why these claims never really go anywhere because mostly everyone realizes it’s BS

He looks so fucking clueless and straight up lost. How is this guy a fucking CEO? Or just a useful idiot for others to complete that Ai circlejerk where everyone is dumping billions into each other companies to pump up the stocks?

How is this guy a fucking CEO?
Wealthy background. Dropped out, got lucky with a startup and sold his stake for a decent sum, gaining enough momentum to keep failing upward.
The guy is absolutely clueless, which can be mathematically proven on the basis of the fact that he invested in a crypto firm.
got lucky with a startup and sold his stake for a decent sum
He didn’t get lucky… him and others bamboozled investors into buying Loopt which was never functional, once sold, it shut down in months. Exactly what he is doing right now

I wish I had no morals… Life is so easy when you don’t give a single fuck about what you do to others… It’s so infuriating to see how many wealthy people have amazing lives because they simply don’t give a single fuck about anything but themselves.
Sociopathy is greatly rewarded in this stupid world we live in. :/

The trick is to be rich. Wealth and power does things to a brain and makes the empathy circuits wither and die, so perfect for getting even more rich.

I didn’t really look into what this startup did, but it doesn’t surprise me. Elon Musk has a very similar kind of story, bullshitting his way to being a billionaire. The system is very heavily stacked in favour of dishonest people.
- MangoCats@feddit.itEnglish21 hours
The system is very heavily stacked in favour of people with a lot of money to start with. Then, those that are “willing to risk it” can reap outrageous returns when their longshots come in. We don’t see the losers, but the ones that hit their longshots are what we have “at the top” now.
I just want to be clear, most CEOs aren’t smart. They have a slightly higher median intelligence than the wider population, but by and large CEOs are no more talented than your average used car salesman. While there’s certainly outliers (on both sides), most intelligent people don’t start careers in a field with an 80%+ chance of failure in the first 5 years. Altman’s success in particular is 50% luck, 50% being a very convincing liar. These people aren’t geniuses, they pay people to think for them, which is why having a machine think for them sounds like a great idea.
I mean no disrespect to Carl, but he has a very generous take on how we got here. I’m sure it’s happened that way somewhere, but how common is it really? I’m more inclined to believe people are more easily suckered by confident incompetence than they like to believe.
- MangoCats@feddit.itEnglish2 hours
how common is it really?
In 2003-2005 (when I first read those sentiments from Carl) I was working at a 1000 employee corporation valued at $1B market cap which functioned EXACTLY like that. I don’t see it much in smaller companies, but in the large ones - yeah, I see it a lot. Come to think of it, the first small company I worked at had a guy who worked like that, but it only showed up around layoff time. He’d hire smart people, but keep the “safely dumb” ones and try to get rid of those who might be a threat to him. Luckily he was 3rd tier, VP, beneath a President and CEO who vetoed most of his targeted dismissals. He eventually was invited to leave and chose to continue his career as a college professor, rated worst on campus for terrorizing his students.

“I’m delighted to be wrong about this, I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs being eliminated by now than has actually happened,” Altman told CBA Chief Executive Matt Comyn in a virtual interview at a Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) conference in Sydney (via Reuters).
…he says after two years of some of the biggest tech layoffs in history that have impacted numerous tech businesses.
Maybe he just means he knows the companies are lying about layoffs for AI and it’s just an excuse to cut labor, but I doubt it.
