Long time HN-er
I'm flagging this. It's not because I give a hoot about sama but because this kind of crap is posted only to lead to endless discussion.
Get to work. Focus. Whatever the hell Sam is can wait for another day.

We have ignored the impact of what we do far, far too long. Forums like this facilitate this false dichotomy. Society IS tech. To believe otherwise is stupid.
But I have found a mantra: if our conversation is in any way getting into whether somebody is good or bad? I am no longer a positive influence on society.
This failed my test. It has nothing to do with Sam Altman. If you want to talk about X person good or bad, go the hell else. I have actual work to do.
Sam A's job is to sell Open AI. It's not not interesting that he talks about why is so great!
There's nothing substantive in this article. The author expresses a seething hatred for OpenAI's CEO by repeatedly lampooning ("where's the evidence!?") brief quotes, without context, of Altman's opinions/predictions. I hope that the author escapes whatever rut made him so overwhelmingly bitter and resentful. I've been there, and it truly stinks. :/
