Sam Altman says
Opinion discarded
I’d like to interject for a moment, but what you’re actually referring as Sam Altman isn’t his actual name, but as I’ve taken to calling him Scam Altman
His friend calls him Clammy Sam
Clamuel even
*Scamuel
Doubt he has friends.
It was singular on purpose
Heh, that’s good; I’m gonna use it going forward :)
If i force myself to read anything he’s said, i make sure i read it in that pre-pubescent voice of his. I can never get past the way it sounds like he’s straining to summon enough energy to make sound come out of his mouth. The ideas that couple with that hideous noise just make the situation magnitudes worse
Got a good laugh from that. Beautifully succinct.
don’t upvote threads about what this idiot says then
i did not.
I do enjoy working a lot
Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t prefer to work shorter weeks for companies that profit from me
Then I can spend more time on my own projects which is more rewarding
Billionaires secretly enjoy guillotines.
He’s half right. I enjoy being busy, as long as I’m doing things I want when I want. What my employer wants me to do is rarely on the top of that list.
Yes Sam, we are yearning for the mines, and for billionaires to abuse us even more…
Here’s the thing, I do love being busy…
Playing with my kid
Cleaning the house
Painting minis
Work busy is so far down the list
There is a thing if you do nothing and didn’t interact with the world at all and work can expose you to different groups of people, that work can be better than never working. But the ideal schedule is like 5 hours twice a week with almost no commute. More than three days and it starts to harm you and drastically reduces what you can do.
Fuck man, if AI made it so I didn’t have to work 40 hours a week just to live, you know what I’d be doing?
I’d be keeping busy about as much time per week, sure. But I’d be doing shit I WANT TO DO instead of maximizing Shareholder Value™️. Reading, motorcycling, brewing, baking, hiking…
Living. Not just working.
Unfortunately for us all, LLMs won’t do that and never were designed for it. Instead they’re tools of Fascist oppression, and should be destroyed.
Yeah dude, busy playing Metroid and going surfing, not busy completing four hours of unskippable corporate training for the third time this month
Busy with what
This mfer thinks we don’t do shit outside of working hours wtf
I never feel more useless, isolated, and destroyed emotionally than when I am performing monotonous shitty tasks fixing fuckups that shouldn’t have happened
and it just so happens that that seems to be the type of work that AI leaves behind for real people, so…
Why bother talking to guys like Sam? Why print what they say?
He isn’t even an AI expert, his own employees have said so. He is just the adman.
It’s probably just the usual of trying to appeal to people in power/higher position aka basic bootlicking.
Probably. Paris Marx just wrote a post about Musk that reminds me of this a bit https://disconnect.blog/elon-musks-tired-schtick/
Well yeah, i enjoy being busy. It’s even kinda necessary for me due to ADHD, if i sit still with nothing to do for too long, days to weeks, early symptoms of depression start to slowly creep in which will get worse over time.
I’d just like to be busy with my interests and hobbies, not damned work. Even though I actually do like my work.
We like to be busy, not exploited and not waste our lives doing meaningless drivel.
Billionaires will only read your first sentence
Now who has an attention deficit?
I would play games and work on my many many side projects. I’d have so much more time for that (and let’s be honest, maybe some games) if we had 4 day work weeks!
It sure is convenient that the business owners are always reporting on their findings that support their business models!
The tech bro billionaires have a bright future planned for humanity. When jobs disappear, they’re hoping we all start fighting and killing each other until disasters reduce the global Population. Meanwhile, they will be shacked up in their remote luxury resorts riding out events until there are a few million people left who can then work as their very own serfs
