I was raised by a man who’d lie constantly. He’d promise me anything and everything, and there was always some last-second off-screen emergency that prevented it from being fulfilled. When I questioned why we were always broke if he made so much money, he assured me I just didn’t understand yet how expensive life really is; as an adult with less income and more mortgage who’s nonetheless in the black, I know it literally doesn’t add up.
Sam Altman triggers my instinctive disgust reflex. Every photo, every video, every voice clip fills me with an urge to either scream at him or get the fuck away. I don’t know this man. But I know his damage.

@0xabad1dea As someone who has dealt extensively with cons, scammers, hoaxers and hucksters, I find it baffling that anyone can take the man seriously.

@Talen_Lee @0xabad1dea I feel like you've just summarized the major cultural pathology of the last decade.

@0xabad1dea It’s the Elon Playbook where you constantly overpromise, underdeliver and then justify pushing the goalpost further and further without ever fulfilling anything. Narcissistis suck.

It’s not just the past decade, Robert Maxwell (Ghislaine Maxwell’s father!) was exactly the same in the 1960s. These people are brilliant at leveraging FOMO into personal wealth — all they need is a pathological disregard for their impact on everyone else. -

@0xabad1dea Though I left in 2019 before it became a household name, I used to work for OpenAI for a time. I still remember the chill I felt when I walked into the kitchen one time and he, sitting in a chair next to the door, said hi and addressed me by name. That may not sound like much, but when the ultra-rich CEO of a company you're a low level grunt at knows your name, it still imparts quite a sense of dread.

@0xabad1dea I interacted with Greg Brockman a lot more, and I realized at some point the allegations that came out at some point about him being transphobic behind an unnamed transitioning employee's back might have been about me...the timeline mentioned in the document lines up. I don't actually know if that's true or not, since I never directly saw it happening, and no one ever reached out to me about it. But I don't know who else it might have been about either.

@0xabad1dea I guess this doesn't have anything to do with your thoughts on Sam Altman but I certainly had some Experiences while I was there (mid-2017 through early 2019)

@0xabad1dea No idea how close to reality it is, but John le Carre’s pseudo-biographical book about a dad con man really comes to mind. His dad was certainly a con man, so that much is true.

@0xabad1dea That visceral reaction is such a good barometer, but it sucks that you had to learn it from your father's actions.

@0xabad1dea Pay attention to your reflex, Altman is credibly accused by his sister Annie of emotional and sexual abuse as well.

@0xabad1dea It sucks you had to go through that and I can sympathize. Fortunately not from personal experience but unfortunately, from observation of the other kids in the area I grew up. Including children in my family. Strong gut feelings are good for pointing towards the evidence

@0xabad1dea "I was raised by a man who’d lie constantly. He’d promise me anything and everything, and there was always some last-second off-screen emergency that prevented it from being fulfilled."
The basic rule for both parents and politicians: Do not promise to do anything that the world might conspire to prevent you from delivering.
Which basically means do not promise to do anything unless you have already done it.

Yep. That guy raises more red flags than the PRC on the day they have a new party chairperson.
