Aren't these the same insiders that demanded him back when their board of directors fired him?

    I don't think so, maybe this is a Goomba effect.

    Most employees do not trust leadership that markets and sells a product that does not exist yet.

    Psychopath and 'dark triad' personalities always end up in leadership positions. They are all smiling nasties. Its amazing that our western culture not only breeds, and accepts, but even hails these feudal kings manipulating, harming and skimming the surplus from anyone else..

    Its time to call on the French peasantry again ! Chop chop, mon ami..

    The rules we have created to govern corporations cause that, in a very direct way. If those positions were officially responsible for the welfare of their employees and customers, and not just their shareholders, the role would not favor sociopaths. We need to change the rules. Otherwise, getting rid of the current crop of awful people will just replace them with others like them.

    No CEO of any corp should be trusted. They are about money extraction all the way down. Nothing more. Plus, none of them earn their bonuses. Who the fuck earns that much money as a "bonus"?

    Why have a CEO at all? An AI could easily post edgy comment into social media every day.

    I actually have to disagree here.

    The problem is the worthless product.

    U of Toronto's Geoff Hinton has stated that he is proud that his former student, Ilya Sutskever, was instrumental in the firing of Sam Altman from OpenAI in November 2023.

    Everyone knows Altman is a cunt.

    Trying to blame the whole grift on just one person is just another part of the grift. Altman deserves all that's coming to him, but there are many more to investigate.

    After Altman was fired in 2023 for steering the company in a too profit-seeking directions, 745 out of 770 employees of OpenAI threatened to quit unless he was reinstated. They truly have nobody to blame but themselves.

    The two people quoted in the article haven't been with OpenAI for at least 2½ years. Amodei left in 2021 to found Anthropic, so he's a piece of shit, but Sutskever voted to fire Altman and quit OpenAI when he was reinstated, and he actually seems to have been struggling how to make things right ever since.

    Nah the problem is the whole fucking tech industry. Anything the techbros touch it turns to shit.

    Wait... You're telling me an industry primarily built around exploitation and deception — offering free/cheap services to build a user base and attract vulture-capital investment, with the intention of performing a bait and switch and shifting to wealth extraction once that deceived user base are dependent on your product — is filled with greedy, sociopathic, parasites?

    Im just sick of the marketing disguised as concern and doomsday warnings.

    I dont know how many people here are old enough to remember, but there was a time when everyone knew that the Internet was going to be big, and they were pouring big money into it, but they couldnt quite say why it would be big, or what a normal non-nerd person might actually need/want the Internet for. So, they decided it was going to be recipes. People used to have cook books and boxes of notecards, old magazine clipping, etc with recipes, and having the right recipe was kind of a big deal, and the Internet was obviously an easy way to solve this problem. Everyone in the world could share the same giant cookbook, any time they wanted, just by paying a modest minutely fee to tie up their home phone line for 20 minutes.

    The current AI pitch feels like that, except this time the line is that there might be an extinction level famine because everyone will forget how to cook once they see how great this cookbook is.
