This year all he's done is show during his trial how deluded these techbros/EAs can actually be. At least SBF had the common courtesy to remove himself from public life within 5 years. Style points for the life-in-prison ending, while simultaneously killing mainstream crypto. We're stuck with Altman for the foreseeable future, and now with a recently purged OpenAI board that will let him continue the industry-wide commercialization of copyright infringement (but only of the laypersons' IP. Better not ask it to draw Mickey Mouse, though). It's also really unclear where OpenAI lies on the EA/Longtermist/E Acc pipeline. Altman is likely letting whackos have some pretty serious power. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 years ago Altman is also into crypto, so it's a double whammy permalink fedilink source parent [–] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago SBF funded a lot of the whackos that created the situation at OpenAI. permalink fedilink source parent [+] AProfessional@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 0 points 2 years ago I hope you don't expect any help if you ever get ripped off.
