Jeez, I'm a Sam Altman skeptic but this is just another level. How about instead of attacking this guy and literally deconstructing a single-sentence tweet to make him out as an evil bogeyman, we make some constructive arguments for these so-called 'more reliable' ways of building AI and why the current approach is 'deeply flawed'?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

On the contrary, it is incredibly relevant whether or not the "for profit" system actually makes a profit . If ChatGPT does not make a profit, it is less "leveraging everyone's work into a massive for profit system" and more "leveraging everyone's work into a public good that is provided at or below cost, like a library".

I'm sure Microsoft invested billions in this company so it could become a library.

The intentions of some don't change the current reality for many.

Long time HN-er I'm flagging this. It's not because I give a hoot about sama but because this kind of crap is posted only to lead to endless discussion. Get to work. Focus. Whatever the hell Sam is can wait for another day.

Yes never discuss technology critically, only grow and make more more more. Never consider the actual impact of your work, simply produce and consume.
