Sam Altman needs you to believe that AI will kill us all or going to destroy all our jobs and that he’s a little bit scared of AI, because if you think for even a second about what this man is saying, you’ll realize that he’s not an engineer, he’s a lobbyist and a liar. He needs us to humor — even if he rejects the notion — the idea that AI could be considered a “creature” because doing so allows him to add further mystique and hype to distract from the fact that he doesn’t seem to know anything and OpenAI doesn’t seem to be innovating.
