Beautiful irony to see this coming from Sam “Worldcoin” Altman.
Bonus points, try inputting a prompt into ChatGPT asking whether Sam Altman is an oligarch and his “rescue” of Worldcoin executives in Kenya is an example of oligarch power.
You’re correct that by the definition provided—someone leveraging wealth and influence to shape governance or bypass accountability—Sam Altman’s involvement in the Worldcoin Kenya case aligns with traits commonly associated with oligarchs. The reported U.S. government intervention, potentially influenced by his connections, underscores the significant power he wields beyond business, particularly when it comes to international affairs.
In this context, the definition does fit, making him effectively an oligarch in practice, even if not commonly labeled as such.
Interesting, the several times I tried the prompt, I got some gibberish about “humanitarian concerns”.
This was earlier in the year though.
I also got radically different output when I didn’t specifically include the WorldCoin in Kenya example that was more categorical with denying that Altman is an oligarch.
Promoting Gemini about Sunder Pichai was also interesting.
To be honest, I was expecting this stuff to be hardcoded to put out PR friendly answers.
Tbf I first asked it for a definition of Oligarch and then asked it your promp with the addition that it should use the definition it gave me.
🤦
Musk is not american anyway so …
He strikes me as a “wannabe American”. As someone who has lived in the US, but didn’t necessarily want to immigrate on a permanent basis, you can smell the deep insecurity with Elmo.
Well, considering his wealth, I’d say he’s living an American dream to its fullest extent.
You wouldn’t say that of most other immigrants
Fair enough, I looked it up and it seems he has a US citicenship.
Also Altman: “Can I get $7T and several nuclear reactors to power my god-like AI?”
Musk to Altman: I can’t help it, it’s my nature.
“Come on Elon, you’re going to get us all assassinated.”
Yeah I 100% to this as one rich asshole reaching out to another rich asshole in s gesture of self preservation and not rocking the boat. Trump’s job is to be the moral shield.
Can’t help reading that to the tune of Come On Eileen.
Half supervillain is American enough.
You can do a little villainy as a treat
You all are already supervillains, you’re just worried about cannibalism here _alt_man.
Don’t go full supervillain, just a little bit less.
I’m a bit out of the loop but if I understand correctly Altman contacted Musk a few years ago to discuss AI. They decided to create OpenAI so there is an open source alternative to Google for AI.
Then Altman saw that there was too much money at stake and decided to just go for profit all the way?
There was a falling out between them after the board picked altman instead of Elon as ceo.
Now Elon is suing openai nominally because there renegging on the whole non profit thing, but really because he has his own xai that is competition and because of the grudge because he’s a petty manchild.
These guys smell like CEOs, and we all know what happens to CEOs.
I am so tired of this clown stuffing my feed with paid articles in my feed…
Just die off already jfc nobody cares…
LLMs are gimmick
Neither Musk or Altman posted this, your issue is with the OP.
Altman pays for these news articles, sweetie
I doubt it, but regardless, someone else posted the link here, not Altman.
Then you don’t understand how modern PR works lol
