    Eine 18-monatige Untersuchung des New Yorker kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Sam Altman von OpenAI Lobbyarbeit gegen dieselben KI-Regulierungen betrieben hat, für die er öffentlich eintrat, Milliarden von Autokratien am Golf einforderte und versuchte, eine Untersuchung nach dem Brand zu verbergen, die keinen schriftlichen Bericht hervorbrachte

      The article is not really pay walled. You can access several free articles every month. This one is worth the read, we all now everything about this man but this is the most comprehensive investigation into the company: Some highlights:
      ∙
      ∙ After Altman’s firing, departing board members demanded an independent investigation. The firm behind the Enron and WorldCom investigations was hired. No written report was ever produced. Findings were limited to oral briefings shared with two new board members who had been selected after close conversations with Altman.
      ∙ Altman pursued funding from Gulf autocracies including Saudi Arabia and the UAE. After the Khashoggi murder, a consultant recalled Altman asking whether he could still get Saudi money: “The question was not ‘Is this a bad thing or not?’ But, just, ‘What would the consequences be if we did it? Can I get away with it?’”
      ∙ OpenAI plans to build a data-center campus in Abu Dhabi seven times larger than Central Park. A former executive: “It’s the most reckless thing that has been done.”
      ∙ When Anthropic refused a Pentagon ultimatum to drop prohibitions on autonomous weapons, Altman publicly claimed solidarity — while already negotiating with the Pentagon to replace them. That Friday, OpenAI announced a $50B deal integrating its technology into military infrastructure.
      ∙ Multiple senior Microsoft executives described the relationship with Altman as “fraught.” “He has misrepresented, distorted, renegotiated, reneged on agreements.”
      ∙ OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman committed $50M to a “pro-AI” super PAC devoted to defeating candidates who favor AI regulation, plus $25M with his wife to a pro-Trump super PAC.

      I hope Scam Altman loses that Stargate facility. It’ll be the nail in the coffin for OpenAI.

      I mean, the lead developer and some other board members wanted him gone, while another left and created Anthropic. He’s a sales guy with more money in his mind.

      I mean, there’s definitely tons of other people who do stuff like this too who just quietly fly under the radar. People in this world truly can be evil.

      I mean if you never go past the freshmen year in college and don’t read how are you ever going to understand what that weird word – ”ethics” – means?

      I guess once someone drops few hundo mils in your lap, education is optional.

      Even when he was saying “please regulate us!” I figured it was just a show for public support. So everyone would say “Oh look at that guy. He’s got our best interests at heart.” I never expected he’d actually act according to his proclamations.

      Hmm. Techbro that started his career with fraud now using deceitful tactics to get as much money into his current grift as possible. I don’t believe it.

      Sam “President Trump is a great leader” Altman?!

      No?!?!?! This can’t be true?!?!?!

      Isn’t it same tactic that used by Peter Thiel and Elon Musk? They say one thing publicly , but do opposite in actions.

      I feel like we are in the super villain era with no super hero in sight.

      Anybody else just dislike his face? I hate this demeanor and voice and face he’s a fucking weirdo. He obviously lies he’s fucking terrible at it

      Dems really need to run on exacting some serious pain on billionaires. Companies like OpenAI and SpaceX ought to be nationalized, we can even be cynical and use „national security“ as a reason if required, but there’s no way the oligarchs should be allowed this much power.

      If you know about Loopt, you know everything you need to know about Sam Altman. The fact he isn’t in prison is a gross miscarriage of justice.
