> Scam Altman

I absolutely hate how much CEOs acting like children / influencers has become the norm. Maybe they were always like this, and twitter has just given us a window into it, but I for one would wholeheartedly welcome a return to "respectability" norms for business and civic leaders.

[Aperocky]

Why would he offer a swindler and a scam almost $100B?

We live in wild times, where billionaires share pathetic quips on social media. Like they are 12 and on a playground.

Musk borrowing from Trump's playbook...childish nicknames

[polotics]

wow I had no idea the level of discourse on that x website was so low, has it always been like this?

[mandeepj]

His boss called someone "Newscum". Birds of a feather flock together.

[Hikikomori]

Such a child

[hakcermani]

FYI X has relaxed the login prompt (at least for me). You can again see the post without an account, but not the thread.

I don't like petty internet arguments, I can't help appreciate him referring to it as Twitter.

[latentcall]

I only call it Twitter because I’m not gonna say “X” it just sounds stupid.

[sumeno]

He should probably take that twitter deal, probably not getting better than that

0penAI having its 2008 Yahoo moment.

[kordlessagain]

Ya who?

[emrah]

Can Sam reply on his own? Does he have controlling votes?

[artursapek]

Sam gives off incredibly strong “pride cometh before the fall” energy.

[lastofthemojito]

There's certainly a part of me that wonders if Altman incorrectly assumes last year's rules still apply, when in fact he just ensured retribution from the man who counts all three branches of the United States government as his underlings.

[insane_dreamer]

Next: Trumps blasts OpenAI as "un-American" and DOJ opens an investigation into "improper x". Investors get nervous given Trump's unpredictability, share price drops. Elon et al get it for half price. Nice little scam.

(Not that I would feel bad. Altman can crash and burn and the world would be better off.)

[gilbetron]

To be fair, so does Musk.

[nostrademons]

So does Musk, and Trump, and Bernie, and AOC, and basically everyone who is a "personality" in today's America.

...which is probably accurate. I remember reading a r/AskHistorians question on why Robespierre was unable to maintain control of the Committee for Public Safety, and the answer was basically that in revolutionary France, everybody who stuck their neck out got it cut off. Within 10 years of the revolution's start, basically all of its leaders were dead. In times of crises, people with big egos volunteer to fix it, but the crises cannot be fixed, and then those egos become the scapegoats who are executed to salve the public's cries for blood.

[gitaarik]

How can you see the parent message on Xitter?

[SketchySeaBeast]

Brave of him to be posting that on Xitter.

[clark-kent]

$974 million maybe!

[idlewords]

I'll buy both.

[tennisflyi]

GD!
