“Open AI is now leading our acceleration towards this modern-day colonial world order” – Karen Hao
“I believe the future is going to be so bright, that no one can do it justice by trying to write about it now,” – billionaire tech mogul Sam Altman
“The thing I’m most proud of is we really built an empire.” – billionaire OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
“We should always work towards dramatic results, not incremental improvements.” Sam Altman
Another wealthy shyster on the sales bullhorn trying to swindle humanity out of its core possessions & connate freedoms.
OpenAI thief & liar CEO Sam Altman.
“Over the next four years OpenAI became everything that it said it would not be. It turned into a nonprofit in name only, aggressively commercializing products like ChatGPT and seeking unheard-of valuations. It grew even more secretive, not only cutting off access to its own research but shifting norms across the industry to bar a significant share of AI development from public scrutiny. It triggered the very race to the bottom that it had warned about, massively accelerating the technologies commercialization and deployment without shoring up its harmful flaws or the dangerous ways that it could amplify or exploit the fault lines in our society. Along the way, clashes between employees grew ever more fierce, as different groups inside the company sought to sieze control and re-form OpenAI around their vision.”
The author has compared OpenAI to a religion, or religious “cult”. Sam Altman himself makes such comparisons & messianic proclamations. He ceremonies about “the mission” & describes the companies corporate model & culture as “something closer to a religion”. ‘and at some point it turns out that forming a company is the easiest way to do so.’
A new digital enclosure act. The most appalling, nonconsensual, mass theft & mass rape, mis-sold by some privileged, alter-boy-eyed billionaire con-artist with a Tintin quiff as the ultimate nostrum profundity to cure all ills. Where have I heard that one before? How did privatization & “trickle down” work for ya’? poison presented as panacea.
So, so, so, so, so, so sick of them.
Thank goodness a vehement vaticinal journalist – the mighty Karen Hao – has been on these motherfuckers, & has now compiled & executed this hugely revealing admonition & brave cry for a moratorium, or more, on this truly epic heist & act of profound ruin that Sam & his giant, shit-scrap wealth-negating company, or “religion”, want to afflict us all with.
Let’s start with a character profile.
Although suspicious, I thought that Sam Altman was supposed to be one of the better ones.
It’s no surprise to learn that he is yet another deluded, techno-arriviste plutocrat turd, heavily inebriated off of he “cultlike exaltation of AI celebrities”, but it’s actually much worse than I had estimated.
Sam is repeatedly depicted & described – including by many of his former & senior colleagues – as an especially gifted fraudster, manipulator & versatile connoisseur-conman.
Remarkably deceptive & giftedly adept at fabricating & twisting his own ends to appear synergistic with that of the individual he is plying or deceiving.
A David Cameron type, who delivers a soft & sanitised scam & masquerade that conceals a much, much more extreme & negative reality & ulterior intention.
Throughout Hao’s book, the verbiage & testimony from a long & diverse line-up of detractors on this treacherous, cotton-wool-cunning, untrustworthy snake-oiler paint & repaint a solid id & pattern of offending & trickery.
“self-serving pursuit of power” & “compulsive dishonesty”.
“compulsion to distort the truth” – “lies, dishonesty, pervasive distrust and chaos.
untrustworthiness, Sam’s history of problematic behaviour, patterns of abuse”
“Many doomers would feel their work was being co-opted and twisted to achieve something directly antithetical to their core values. In their view, it was Altman that was doing that co-opting and twisting. And that made him a pathological liar, a manipulative abuser, and his own threat to humanity.”
“manipulating and lying to people so habitually that at times he said things that he didn’t even seem to believe himself.”
“I saw the incentive of Microsoft push more and more towards a narrow conception of the future.”
“I saw the technology become narrowed into something propped up by the narrative rather than reality.”
“without credit, consent, or compensation”
“a long history of dishonesty, power grabbing, and self-serving tactics.”
on & on.
So when Scam Altman tells you –
“I think this will be the most transformative and beneficial technology humanity has yet invented” you know that its cyanide sold as soda.
“We must put the mission ahead of any individual preference.” – Sam Altman
OpenAI is just another unprecedented theft & “transfer of wealth”, a tremendous – if not game changing (ending) – disempowerment incapacitzation, & mass worsening or exacerbation of current crisis. It will especially empower the worst offenders, & it will massively enhance destructive & murderous industries/activities such as war, surveillance, disinformation & oppression.
“It became a cynical refrain among AI researchers: sell out to Big Tech or the military industrial complex, or leave AI research.”
But Sam’s personal perversions get much worse.
Typically, with a liar’s glib & a tricksters gleam, he is trying to “sell” OpenAI as a “solution to world poverty”. Sure bro …. like, you billionaire plundering vulture capitalist mega-larcenist shits – who are to blame for all of it – & who profit from the suffering & deprivation your “innovations” inflict – are going to “solve” the poverty you induced & thrive off.
What a sick joke.
& it turns out that the man can’t even look after his own sister, Annie Altman.
The dude’s a fucking billionaire, exploding in the Silicone Valley tech-wealth rhapsody, & his own sister is literally having to resort to online & real world sex work to keep herself alive.
LITERALLY!
Altman’s sister Annie, beset by “housing insecurity, food insecurity, [&] health insecurity”, & besieged by a cluster of acute physical & mental health ailments, is just left adrift for the crows, whilst Sam counts his billions & expands his collection of luxury sports cars whilst working on “the mission”.
Who are these fiends?
“These two features of technology – their promise to deliver progress and their tendency to instead reverse it for people out of power, especially the most vulnerable – are perhaps truer than ever for the moment we find ourselves in with artificial intelligence.” – Karen Hao
but the decay scales even higher.
Sam had been sexually assaulting & raping his younger sister starting from when she was three-years-old (he was then twelve). It went on “regularly” for almost a decade, meaning that Sam would have been an adult, & Annie a minor whilst the sexual abuse continued.
Annie Altman first went public on the sexual abuse at the hands of her brother in November 2021, posting: “I experienced sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, financial, and technological abuse from my biological siblings, mostly Sam Altman and some from Jack Altman,”.
“I feel strongly that others have been abused by these perpetrators.” I’m seeking people to join me in pursuing legal justice, safety for others in the future and group healing.” – Annie Altman
she is currently suing Sam for the sexual abuse, but the reporting is so sparse, it seems he may have settled with her out of court already?
How is this allowed to happen?
“We must put the mission ahead of any individual preference.”
so an incestuous, rapist paedophile as well. Figures. Apparently Sam is now openly gay. I just don’t know what/how it all works?! – but these people are freaks.
Sam’s pathological manipulation complex also played a role even at this stage, with court documents from Annie’s lawsuit against her brother revealing: “Sam Altman groomed and manipulated Plaintiff, Ann Altman, into believing the aforementioned sexual acts were her idea, despite the fact she was under the age of five years old when the sexual abuse began and Defendant was almost a teenager.”
The other day, Scam, & many of the others, were all sucking-up to the Faecal Führer, at his worst moment, all under the eclipse of further & inescapable Epstein/Maxwell scandal. They’re in on it, & they don’t care.
figures.
“Six years after my initial skepticism about OpenAI’s altruism, I’ve come to firmly believe that OpenAI’s mission, to ensure that AGI benefits all humanity – may have begun as a sincere stroke of idealism, but it has since become a uniquely potent formula for consolidating resources and constructing an empire-esque power structure.” – Karen Hao
Theft. Kleptocracy. Larceny. Looting. Despoliation. Piracy. Antihumanism. Enclosure.
And then, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, there is even more lowering.
It’s one of Sam’s mentors, closest friends & now business partner & investor …. yep, the worst of them, it’s Peter Thiel.
“Of particular importance to the shape of Altman’s career was his relationship with his two biggest mentors, Paul Graham and Peter Thiel.”
God nooooooo!
“The two men grew extremely close. (Their bond was once described as having only one parallel: Thiel’s mentor relationship with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.)”
his “mentor”? Thiel? It couldn’t be worse.
“In 2016, Altman would tell long term chronicler Tad Friend at The New Yorker that in the event of a doomsday scenario, he planned to escape to New Zealand with his close friend and mentor, billionaire investor Peter Thiel.’’
but it makes an awful sense, as both are rich & wealthy, sheltered, fucked up gay guys (I am not sure if we should classify Sam as bisexual due to the horrors he inflicted on his young sister?), both with a penchant or/& history for rape, & paedophilia.
Robert Mercer & Peter Thiel, two billionaire toxic techno-fascist apocalypse advocates who call the shots, prescribe the policy & pull the strings in the Trump presidency (both terms, but especially the second), have installed the criminal DOGE, & secured a ten-year regulation free “outlaw” stint for AI, as well as stuffing the administration to the hilt with cronyist tech fanatics.
Smooth sailing Sam Altman & his plague company & hex technology will be eagerly in line to gorge on the spoils.
Better to strap the lot of them into a one-way-rocket to Mars & just be done with these plutosites onec & for all.
We don’t need them.
“an uncomfortable prospect; that this supposedly revolutionary technology might never deliver on its promise of broad economic transformation, but instead just concentrate more wealth at the top.” – Parmy Olson & Carolyn Silverman
bravo for Karen Hao for so diligently cataloguing & investigating this monstrous perversion & threat.
