The best time to stop taking Altman seriously was ten years ago.

The second best time is now.

The time was last year, but better late than sorry.

How do we not know that this isn't an AI generated Sam Altman?

Ironically, your link is broken on Voyager because it doesn’t treat anything before the https as a link. It just leads straight to the normal pay walled site.

You need to embed the link for it to actually work. And even then, it may not work on this comment because it’ll try to route to my home instance due to having a Lemmy.world link for my image.

Has people start making Sam Alternator's AI image doing incendiary stuff? Maybe we should start doing that.

I would like to be able to listen to someone who is at the top of their game since it's most likely them who know the most. If they are the CEO of a company about the thing, that would make sense. I've seen plenty of enthusiasts start their own company because they had a lot of knowledge on the subject. Who do i look for the best information about the tech of tomorrow if not the people who are making it?

Yann LeCun would probably be a better source. He does actual research (unlike Altman), and I've never seen him over-hype or fear monger (unlike Altman).

AI skeptics dont live in the real world

but for now, his approach is textbook Silicon Valley mythmaking

The difference is that in this case it is not hype—it is reality. It’s not a myth, it is happening right now. We are chugging inevitably down the track to the most dramatic discovery in human history. And Altman’s views on solving the climate crisis, disease, nuclear fusion… they are all within reach. If anything we need to increase our speed to get us there ASAP.
