If this thread about (presumably) being a visionary constitutes the wielding of power, I dispute how much power is actually invested in this topic.
Sam Altman controls billions of dollars in assets, and attends Bilderberg and Bohemian Grove events. He's sort of the walking definition of social and economic power.

Then why do you care? I don't care, even enough to click on that. Why do you? I'm asking seriously.
I care in that we are at one of the historic inflection points in tech history - so I waant a very salient truth as to what decisions (and by whom) are steering what is going to be the next era in the information age. I love it. So, what I care about is a true lens into how we will be getting to the next step in the path. Thats all I care about... And obviously SA is a master at ensuring the engineers in his harem ar…
You should hope that they go back to school and study history. All of this has happened before, many times over.

> developed in adulthood Where does it say that in the article you posted?
Probably this, where she is discussing her first memories on a podcast: > Annie then basically proceeds to mention that “panic attack” doesn’t quite feel like her first memory, but doesn’t decisively settle on a “first memory.” She concludes the article: “TBD on the first memory of that history. Here’s to exploring.” > This becomes relevant later on, as Annie ends up remembering an earlier memory than her panic attac…

Altman's sister's 'memories' of abuse were developed in adulthood [1]. Recovered memories are deeply suspect, and a number of serious miscarriages of justice have happened because of them. Most infamously the 'satanic panic' trials of the eighties and early nineties. Elizabeth Loftus has done lots of good work on the dubious nature of eyewitness testimony, and recovered memories in particular [3]. Essentially, they'r…
Wow you really have no way of knowing if it's true at all yet you've got this giant framework that lets you assume she's fabricating it. Yikes.

So he goes to extremely boring cringe meetups. Who cares?
Weird CEO cult going on again. Per the article Altman created this and that. In reality thousands of people created the stuff. Altman mostly did some management and marketing.

This sounds like snark but it’s not intended to be: do you really need sources to learn narrative control? Perceiving how narratives work seems to be a skill that almost all humans are very good at naturally. I acknowledge that shaping narratives is a different skill set (especially the parts that require putting yourself in a position to shape narratives effectively), but in my opinion if you’re already asking the q…
Have you ever heard someone described as tone deaf? The narrative that works in your head is not necessarily a narrative that works publicly.
There's nothing in here you haven't already heard: * He's close with Peter Thiel * He's an ace networker (but, completing the stereotype, is also an introvert) * He left YC, not entirely voluntarily, because he was too committed to OpenAI to do the YC job * Echoing YC, the OpenAI board tried to oust him over concerns that he was being manipulative and pursuing outside interests (a chip firm) that conflicted with the…
> It feels like people are a bit obsessive about this guy. AI is about to take over the world (for better or worse), and this is the guy in charge of building it.
Define "take over the world"
Pushed to everything even if it doesnt make sense?
