Why did I need to scroll halfway down the page before finding a comment that says it was wrong to firebomb his house and nothing else?

Your response is a cop out and you should be disappointed in yourself. Further, people do not often agree another human should be murdered. No matter how you phrase it.
Can someone help me to understand why OpenAI and Anthropic talks as if the future of humanity controlled by them? We have very strong open (weight) Chinese models possibly only 6 months behind of them, gene is out of the bottle, is 6 months of difference really that important? And they don’t have good reasons for that 6 months to stay that way. Am I missing something or are these just their usual marketing? I’m not a…

I've reread your post a few times and I can't make heads or tails of it. I don't even disagree with anything you've said, it just seems like a total non-sequitur; nothing you've said gives any reason to disbelieve that AI will put (many) people out of work.
Sounds like you have a gap of knowledge and understanding if you're not getting it.
Seems pretty sleazy for him to associate that (based on no evidence!) with the violent attack.

If you live under the tyranny of capitalism, sometimes the choice isn’t entirely yours to make
-You vote
-You go to a protest
-You join a union
-You join a strike
-You risk your livelihood through speech
-You join a direct action
-You risk your life
Most people never get past commitment level 0 which is doing nothing including voting
Then throw their hands up that nothing changes claiming they have no ability to do anything
There are thousands of examples to the opposite and it boggles my mind how people can think they aren’t capable

Are calls for violence bad when you're calling for throwing a molotov cocktail at a child? At an adult? At a serial killer? At someone who's about to shoot you unprovoked? At someone who murdered your family? At someone who's about to? If you said "yes" to all of the above, I'd love to know your reasoning.
Yes. If you want a molotov cocktail thrown so badly, throw it yourself. Don't put it on other people to do it for you.
It's never OK to physically attack someone like this. Full stop. Separately; Sam's belief that "AI has to be democratized; power cannot be too concentrated." rings incredibly hollow. OpenAI has abandoned its open source roots. It is concentrating wealth - and thus power - into fewer hands. Not more.
Sam eagerly pursued DoD contracts to weaponize AI. And then lobbied for legislation to ensure OpenAI cannot be held accountable if people are killed due to their systems.

I didn't think Hacker News needed an explicit "calls for violence are bad" guideline but the comments here have shown otherwise.
If you grind people into a paste long enough, eventually some of them may object in one manner or another.
