P.S. Not blaming him for this behavior, probably I would also change my mind immediately if someone offered me 7% of $300B

Do you really think everyone out there is willing to be a sell out?

Nothing wrong being a sell out - except when you claim to not be one.

Why are these rich assholes so obsessed with tracking everyone? > Tools for Humanity bragged about many large partnerships that should make any privacy advocates shiver in dread: the Match Group dating apps conglomerate (Tinder, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish), Stripe, and Visa are some of them. Visa and Stripe being involved in this should indeed make everyone shiver and push back against this. Altman is not a good…

In the AI driven future we are heading into, telling the difference between AI-bot and human might become a valuable good.

They did that here in the Phillipines and they exploit the poor. They give money for people to allow them to scan their eyes. These people do not know the consequences of what they are doing.

They might have known the consequences, but money is money. I feel like for 99% of people there is a certain sum of money for which they will give into pretty much any kind of data collection. Even I'd give into it if they gave me enough. The bar is just higher, but there does exist a certain $X for which I would give in as well.

I clearly said: "probably I would", I didn't generalize it to everyone

What are the consequences?

That you can be identified, cataloged and controlled, potentially. We have the technology to create heaven or hell depending on who controls it…

This is the same guy who worked at OpenAI because he "loved" what he does and he wasn't doing it for money. ( Until this year obviously ;) )

He already had enough wealth that he was in a threshold where it wouldn't matter if he got a few more billion if that the was the lifestyle he was willing to lead. There isn't a magical kind of sugar, or drug that's available to a multi-billionaire but not someone with 100s of millions.

If somebody is trying to get billions, they're doing it because they're the type of person that wants to be a part of politicis, and a power player. That kind of person was never going to just give up the opportunity to make more money and gather more power to do more things that they see as neccessary and as good.

Because they have to be able to sell you the cure to the disease they created: pretty soon nearly all content online will be AI-generated, and the only way you'll be able to tell if you're talking to a human is with cryptographically-sealed boot chains, verified with remote attestation, and with this eyeball device at the end to make sure there's a human there.

Why? And how would that even work? Just because an online account is tied to a verified real human doesn't guarantee that the content isn't coming from an AI-bot.
