    Hey, remember when you guys lined up to suck his dick when the board tried to keep OpenAI working for the good of humanity instead of the oligarchy?

        People have grown up reading comic books and watching movies about generous billionaire superhero saviors. They want to believe that exists because it’s what they’ve been taught justice looks like.

            And yet the problem was never that he was a billionaire, and Lexcorp was never portrayed as anything but an industrial powerhouse whose existence was ultimately good.

            I feel like Luthor was a better counterexample for this before the model for his billionaire redesign was elected President of the USA.

            Even so, Luthor hasn’t had quite the same volume of appearances as Iron Man, Batman, Captain America and the other rich superhero tropes.

          They do exist they just prefer to be anonymous in their altruism so nobody hears about them.

      Yeah, that was a strange moment. Those in the company being for Altman, I can understand. They expected big returns of investment from keeping him around. But the outsiders on the internet cheering him on? Felt like Elon Musk in the beginning again. And yes I also fell for his engineer persona in the beginning. But I learned from that.

        Everyone has a first. Musk outed himself as a retard long before Altman, we could be talking about entirely different groups of people here.

          Musk the Fuck doesn’t even have an engineering degree and was never accepted into any PhD program. Lying piece of shit copies some code out of an early 80’s magazine and thinks he is a programmer and got his degree after a donation from daddy.

          I repeatedly see loser here, and other places online, defend his dipshit ass. People keep falling for rich tech bro bullshit and still do.

            I guess that’s just the reality of living in a world where money is equated with success and success is equated with talent.
