I wish more people would hold Sam Altman's feet to the fire, hold him to some semblance of accountability. Because the man has made an entire career of failing upwards, from launching a short lived startup that imploded, to suddenly becoming president of ycombinator, to suddenly being worth billions of dollars, and literally paying people in the third world (with monopoly money, of course) for their eyeballs
Oh and there's the whole thing where he might have molested his kid sister, which is always seemingly glossed over
Even Ed Zitron, who isn't afraid to go after someone (see his articles about the guy who destroyed Google search) seems to handle Sam with kid gloves
This is one more time when I wonder how the hell people like Altman make it to adulthood. If I acted that way I would have been punched in the head SO MANY TIMES. I don't get it. Do these cunts live in bunkers or something? Why don't people call them out to their face or simply punch with all the force you can get through your body? Fucking insane
