No one trusts Sam Altman. The trouble is that the media remains in it's neutral reporting mode that gives anyone that achieves a title the benefit of what that would normally entail and unwarranted benefit of the doubt on everything they have obviously done as if it were a criminal court but with no possibility of ever actually consulting its jury.

I have a Personal Theory(tm) that modern media in general has far too little value or accountability for something that has such a massive amount of leverage.
I think you may have missed the part where mainstream media is no longer actually mainstream for that reason.

Honestly for the best. Fox is never going to tell you when there's water main work on your street. A local paper might.
