Besides these traits that every CEO/big-time investor seems to share, is there anything uniquely awful with Altman?

His involvement in Worldcoin (now named "World"), i.e. biometric scanning of huge populations.

Besides the fact that he's an especially awful specimen (the lying and manipulation alone made it to the news several times), I just don't think that a rather clear-sighted blog post from 12 years ago is a valid reason to change your views about Altman.
