    He can’t be worse than the ones that are already our overlords. At least he could theoretically free us from slaving our lives away. Probably won’t, but could…

      Yeah I hear you, but I think that’s actually a big part of the problem. We the plebs want AI to free us from slaving away our lives. But Altman and those like him will never have the same motivations as us, so I’ll never trust them to develop the technology in a responsible way that actually benefits the majority of people, not just the tippy top of the absurdly wealthy.

      That’s kind of like defending monarchy because “surely the future king can’t be worse than the current one”. They are the same breed. He is them. It’s a somewhat systematic problem with these super rich technocrats.

        The only way to rid oneself from a king is to burry them in a random field and have them be discovered under a parking lot a couple centuries later

      Pretty much all of human history would like a word.

      Are you serious? AI is about lowering the cost of labor for office workers by not needing junior talent. None of these billionaires are going to free you from slaving your life away.
