What qualifies this guy to make any predictions that are printable? He's just making random guesses.

Intellectual property thief is confidently wrong about a task he has no right or expertise to be performing anyway. The LLM didn’t fall far from the tree.
Oligarch tries to walk back claims to prevent backlash from investors and the general public.
Any word on the plumber?
So hard to find a good plumber
"I'm delighted to be wrong" is not something I want to hear from someone who has such an outsized impact on my perception of reality.
Sam Altman should shut up. He is partly to blame for this.
Selfish prick.
Just in, guy who allegedly raped his sister is wrong.
Wasn't his sister also developmentally disabled? Is that right? CEO Billionaire Sam Altman violently raped his disabled sister then admitted to it like it was a relatable situation?
CEO said a thing
He has money so it must be important. Psychopathy is a virtue I'm told.
CEO of tech company talks about slop.
Sam Altman is a danger to our entire planet
Waiter! Waiter! I'll have my billionaire with a side of politician, please!
"I'm delighted to be wrong about this, I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs being eliminated by now than has actually happened," Altman told CBA Chief Executive Matt Comyn in a virtual interview at a Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) conference in Sydney (via Reuters).
...he says after two years of some of the biggest tech layoffs in history that have impacted numerous tech businesses.
Maybe he just means he knows the companies are lying about layoffs for AI and it's just an excuse to cut labor, but I doubt it.
Yeah the job market is teetering and quite frankly I think the numbers coming out are a little cooked these days, because they paint a rosier picture than I see around me.
He looks so fucking clueless and straight up lost. How is this guy a fucking CEO? Or just a useful idiot for others to complete that Ai circlejerk where everyone is dumping billions into each other companies to pump up the stocks?
I just want to be clear, most CEOs aren't smart. They have a slightly higher median intelligence than the wider population, but by and large CEOs are no more talented than your average used car salesman. While there's certainly outliers (on both sides), most intelligent people don't start careers in a field with an 80%+ chance of failure in the first 5 years. Altman's success in particular is 50% luck, 50% being a very convincing liar. These people aren't geniuses, they pay people to think for them, which is why having a machine think for them sounds like a great idea.
How is this guy a fucking CEO?
Wealthy background. Dropped out, got lucky with a startup and sold his stake for a decent sum, gaining enough momentum to keep failing upward.
The guy is absolutely clueless, which can be mathematically proven on the basis of the fact that he invested in a crypto firm.
got lucky with a startup and sold his stake for a decent sum
He didn't get lucky... him and others bamboozled investors into buying Loopt which was never functional, once sold, it shut down in months. Exactly what he is doing right now

Early days discussion (what I am referencing here) starts at 2:15
I wish I had no morals... Life is so easy when you don't give a single fuck about what you do to others... It's so infuriating to see how many wealthy people have amazing lives because they simply don't give a single fuck about anything but themselves.
Sociopathy is greatly rewarded in this stupid world we live in. :/
I didn't really look into what this startup did, but it doesn't surprise me. Elon Musk has a very similar kind of story, bullshitting his way to being a billionaire. The system is very heavily stacked in favour of dishonest people.
A lot of CEO's could say they have no clue what they're doing and mostly just 'faked it till they made it; and still fake it'
Speaking of looks, why does he look like he's had some unnecessary plastic surgery?
Because he probably did. Most of these people are vain as shit.
Sam allotment has the eyes of a man the ai has been using as a meat puppet for a year.
This spelling error was brought to you by swype. Any decent keyboards or there?
All the AI ceos are 100% high on their own supply.
Most CEOs likely are, because it tells them what they want to hear, and they have minions to actually make it work.
Real people are likely to see the AI is bullshit,but they're insulated by humans dealing with it
Haha nice one, I have been using Floris Board from F-Droid, really nice so far!
I've been using Heliboard on Android for a while now and like it, basically FOSS swipe keyboard.
Currently uses Google's closed-source swipe library which you have to manually download, but they're actively working on crowd sourcing an open source one which you can contribute to in the app.
I sacrificed auto-completion and went with flickboard
