Comment on Sam Altman, Lately

I find it strange that people keep attacking him on this.

He’s allowed to make money. Musk bezo etc all did and nobody whined

There is plenty to attack him on legitimately…yet people seem obsessed with this angle

They didn’t claim to be running non-profit/ capped profit entity , being altruistic and saving the world from AGI and didn’t co-opt the word “Open” and never claimed to work on a humble 65000 salary with no equity upside and doing it all in their goodness of their hearts

No one cares about another billionaire founder if they were honest about it . The valley created dozens if not more each wave .

The current generation of founders have drunk their own cool aid it seems and are no longer satisfied with becoming a billionaire they also want be to adored and revered as the savior the next Jesus or MLK, Gandhi or Mandela.

It belittles the people who sacrifice their careers, money and livelihoods to make a difference on actual social missions.
