Embarrassing


OpenAI has nothing to fear in court because Greg Brockman is the #1 Trump donor ($25 million): https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/brockman-openai-top-trum...

Do you not realize this is an AI generated person?

OP did call him AI. If the underlying research is valid rather than AI generated it can still be valuable. Seems like this guy is using an AI persona essentially to communicate his ideas.

To me, AI Asian guy sounds like an AI generated person that is Asian. Asian AI guy sounds like you could be talking about Andrew Ng or some one else that teaches about ML, LLMs, etc.

He realized it. But you did not realize that.

Maybe? He said “Asian AI guy”, which is pretty weird.

Then he went on to claim this bizzaro video has “been quite informative.” When it’s definitely an AI slop pumping mechanism.

TBH his comment is probably part of the campaign.


Oh, I wrote "asian ai guy" because that's the name people are using in these YouTube videos.

Maybe you are right and the video is just ai slop. I just wanted to share it, because I learnt with them how futures, arbitrage and market manipulation works.

Also, I can assure you that I am not part of any campaign, but of course, what else would I say?


What? Did you even read the first sentence he wrote?

How do you know where the authors were born?

Jack Lance was, based on his output in such a short time, obviously a genius.

I see many individual games (or even just standalone puzzles, even just puns!) of his and I'm genuinely envious of how clever they are.

It hurts to think about what he could have created if he was still around.


This is insane. I'd be shocked if they aren't trying to bribe the admin right now.


Why was this flagged?


The for-loop is just better.


Already has complete support for SPM.


Anyone paying attention should have zero trust in what Sam Altman says.


What do you think his strategy is? He has to make money at some point.

I don’t buy the logic that he will “scam” his investors and run away at some point.


He makes money by convincing people to buy OpenAI stock.

If OpenAI goes down tomorrow, he will be just fine. His incentive is to sell the stock, not actually build and run a profitable business.

Look at Adam Neumann as an example of how to lose billions of investor dollars and still walk out of the ensuing crash with over a billion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Neumann

His strategy is to sell OpenAI stock like it was Bitcoin in 2020, and if for some reason the market decides that maybe a company that loses large amounts of cash isn't actually a good investment... he'll be fine, he's had plenty of time to turn some of his stock into money :)


Why not build a profitable business like Zucc, Bill gates, Jensen, Sergey etc? These people are way richer much more powerful.


I believe, but have no proof, that the answer is "because it's easier to sell stock in an unprofitable business than build a profitable one", although given the other comment, there's a good chance I'm wrong about this :)


Altman doesn't have any stock. He's playing a game at a level people caught up on "capitalism bad" can't even conceptualize.


I'm more "capitalism good" (8 billion people on earth, 7 billion can read, 5 billion have internet, and almost no one dies in childbirth anymore in rich countries, which is several billion people), but that is really interesting that he has no stock and just gets salary.

I guess if other people buying stock in your company is what enables you to have a super high salary (+ benefits like company plane, etc), you are still kinda selling stock though, and honestly, having considered the "start a random software company aligned with the present trend (so ~2015 DevOps/Cloud, 2020 cryptocurrency/blockchain, 2024 AI/ML), pay myself a million dollar a year salary and close shop after 5 years because 'no market lol'" route to riches myself, I still wouldn't consider Altman to be completely free of perverse incentives here :)

Still, very glad you pointed that out, thanks for sharing that information ^^


Again incorrect. He doesn’t have a super high salary.


thanks for pointing it out ^_^


Holy shit you are right. He owns no equity and just gets a salary. I have no idea about the game he’s playing.


> He has to make money at some point.

Yes, but two paths to doing that are to a) build a profitable company, and b) accumulate personal wealth and walk away from a non-profitable company.

I'm not saying OpenAI is unprofitable, but nor do I see Altman as the sort who'd rule out option b.
