Oh please, you're going to put Altman together with those clowns? He has a proven record of extreme accomplishment, in various domains, moreso than 99.9999% of people in the tech industry.


>He has a proven record of extreme accomplishment, in various domains, moreso than 99.9999% of people in the tech industry.

I don't really see anything[1] that suggests that this sentence is true. Now, I'm not saying that he hasn't been successful, but there's "successful" and then there's your hyperbole.

what did he do before open ai? (Which was founded by a lot more people than Sam). A genius in my opinion needs to have a track record of incredible things, key point being "track".


> what did he do before open ai?

Worldcoin. Which is, to put it mildly, not positive.

This type of comment doesn't really help.

And for my two cents, he always seemed like a disingenuous hype salesman more than a technical person.

He's an Elon Musk or a Lex Friedman.
