No, you mentioned his discussion of the "billion dollar one person startup", which we can both agree is a fanciful idea and more of an eventual "possibility" that will of course not occur as once anyone can be a billionaire, the whole system is going to change.

However, your "tasteless high level wanking" is not a quote from Altman, it's a vague and directionless insult that manages to sweep quite a lot of legitimate discussion about the future of automation and professional work under its thumb.

It's wrong because you're saying, "where are the billion-dollar one-man startups?" in the same way that I might look at a Benz Velo and go, "But it's so slow! Horses can go faster than that! Everyone saying cars are going to change the fabric of society are just tasteless wankers!"

The point is that you are applying future aspirations on the present-day relatively brand-new model space and getting upset that we aren't there yet.

The amount of brain energy spent on justifying the mediocrity machines is astounding.

What you just did is called deflection. You failed to address my comment wholesale and instead opted for a back-handed insult on my intelligence.

Do you actually have something substantial to say?
