Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI in 2023 by the nonprofit board. After considerable internal turmoil and external pressure from his venture capitalist mates and from Microsoft, he was reinstated. K…
All of this could have been prevented if the Rationalists has just read the insight porn article in ribbonfarm about sociopaths etc in the workplace. ;)
That doesn’t matter, they still are the ‘clueless’ AI doomers vs the ‘sociopathic’ Altman (doubt much ‘losers’ work there). (I’m using these terms here specifically like how the insight porn ribbonfarm thing did. And I mean it as a joke, ribbonfarm is part of their insight blog culture, they just don’t actually learn much from the things they read).
To explain, the clueless believe in the work the company is doing and will work hard without really looking at advancing their own career, they are the true believers (they still can be real life sociopaths, if they work for the art in the woodchipper company for example). The sociopaths are the ones who are in it to improve their own career will fuck over and abuse the clueless for their own advancement/enrichment. Losers know it is just a job, a paycheck, they do their job nothing more and go home, have a family, hobbies, touch grass, live a rich full life. There I saved you a novel length of blog posts (im not kidding btw, the ebook (sold on amazon of course) is 171 pages).
