I've been wondering for a while if Sam is going to become an Elizabeth Holmes style figure with all of his talk about "a magic intelligence in the sky" and that in 5 years AI will replace 95% of marketing work. It seems like he's set up impossible promises, it'll be interesting to see what comes from their non-delivery.

Very different to lie about what your current product actually does (especially if it's a medical testing product!) vs to give predictions about your future products that turn out to be too overhyped. A good example of the latter is Elon, which also goes to show that you only have to have the pie-in-the-sky vision succeed a couple times for a lot of people to forgive a lot of other overpromises.

Right, though both are about lying blatantly, despite better knowledge, with the motivation of personal gain behind it.

Well, Musk does both now. He's lying about the present and his future.

Pie in the sky is not the same as fraudulent claims about your product.

True but I think if Pie In The Sky marketing leads to a catastrophic market crash and an economic depression, Sam Altman does deserve to be held accountable in some respect

I feel like we live in different worlds.

I use AI everyday and it already a magic intelligence in the sky to me.

If anything, the AI labs have been pretty dead on about their predictions so far.

How that will impact the economy and productivity is anyone’s guess, so I don’t think Sam pontificating about that in interviews holds him culpable for a crash.

I am hyped based on using the products, not what Sam says

He’s the next SBF.
