Altman, a regular user of X since 2008, has been forthright about his frustration with the bots on it. In September, he posted to X that “somehow AI twitter/AI reddit feels very fake in a way it really didn't a year or two ago.” A few days earlier, he made a similar point, citing dead internet theory, which posits that since 2016, the internet has been overrun with non-human activity. “I never took the dead internet theory that seriously but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM [AI]-run twitter accounts now,” he wrote.

Who the fuck wants social network from OpenAI?

[–] digital_digger@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

Because we need another social network build by a big tech firm. Another garbage like this is for sure what the world needs in 2026 💩

Altman realizes most people outside of third world countries aren't ready to just hand over their biometrics for cash, so he's come up with a new way to get people to give them to him. Hooray.

I don't get how anyone can trust a fucking word out of this guy's mouth.

This orb surveillance thingy looks like Wheatley from Portal 2, an AI which eventually turned evil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatley_(Portal) I'm sure that's a good sign.

No one wanted to use any shitty social network they make anyway, so there no reason to try to hard to push people away.

They want all biometrical data from you. Before you know it, they'll ask for fucking colon swabs for verification.
