His boundless ambition is putting AI, and the world, on a dangerous path.
Has the narrative really become that Sam Altman is single-handedly responsible for the massive leap in AI?
I really don't think that Altman is even close to being in the top 5 worrying techbros. At best, he enabled OpenAI researchers to get their work done 1-5 years sooner.
This stuff was going to happen with or without Altman.
The advancements to come will happen with or without Altman.
The article doesn't even attempt to explain why "accelerationism" is a dangerous path. I'm not sure if I share that assumption or not as I don't even know what exactly the author thinks it is.

1. Elon Musk
2. Mark Zuckerberg
3. Sam Altman
4. Peter Thiel
5. Jeff Bezos
