1. You assume that what press reports and public opinion is the same thing. It's not.

2. You assume majority of the public actually has an opinion or time to think about whether Sam should run OpenAI. They don't.

3. You assume public opinion is an accurate metric of justice. It's not. We have judicial system for that.

4. You assume Sam makes decisions through his ego and not any other system. You don't know that. Your ego thinks it's true. But honestly you have zero information unless you are really close to Sam in that case you have no reason to make this comment.

I think you've actually made four assumptions there.

I am a member of the public, and I consider Sam Altman power hungry, egoistical and narcissistic.

My opinion has been formed through accounts in the press.

I think you missed the majory of public part.

Interesting. So you make decisions based on what the press tells you? Do you believe the news the press choose to report and not to is based on what they think is good for you? Do you believe the press actually can know what is good for you?

The press is the press and my opinions are my own. The press can be right or wrong about Altman and that doesn’t affect my opinions. I believe, regardless of the press, that Altman is operating for profit (as self interest dictates he should) and I politely disagree on his stance for OpenAI. Just because some of the press agrees with me doesn’t necessarily mean I’m wrong.

I think you misspelt majority.

[blue_light_man]

How is that relevant? You understood the context and instead choose to focus on the misspell.

Because if you're trying to educate people, it's worth trying to get the basics correct first.

I am not trying to educate anyone. I am just asking questions. If you think I am trying to educate you that's your ego again trying to make you miss the point being conveyed here.
