    Nothing screams disruptive innovation like a billionaire scolding young people for not being excited enough about the technology making entry level jobs disappear. Apparently Gen Z should stop chasing what was cool five years ago and start chasing whatever Sam Altman needs investors to believe is cool this quarter.

        Open AI is mostly owned by Microsoft, who owns NBC. He’s paid by the people who own the media.

    The thing that was cool 5 years ago was at least cool once. AI has yet to be cool and it doesn’t look like it’s heading in that direction. Meanwhile it’s also taking a shitty economy and making it worse while enriching some of the worst humans alive.

    Somewhere in the forest there exists a tree planted just to replace the oxygen Sam Altman wastes. He should find it and apologize.

          Easily one of the cringest moments in 2025. Video linked for anyone who still needs proof that money can buy a great many things, but coolness and authenticity are not among them.

              I want to say “I’m happy to help”, but I’m not, and I haven’t. So let’s just sit here together in silence that is still orders of magnitude less socially awkward than… <gestures> this.

            Wow, he’s even more of a loser in moving picture.

            Also I didn’t know his voice sounded like that. Every time I read his words I hear his voice as kinda nasally and helium-enriched. Is he artificially deepening his voice cause he thinks it sounds cooler?

    I’d say I really don’t want to hear these people’s dumb bullshit and it’s not worthy of attention, but the limelight seems to be significantly harming them, so send it.
