Sam Altman, the recently fired (and rehired) chief executive of Open AI, was asked earlier this year by his fellow tech billionaire Patrick Collison what he thought of the risks of synthetic biology. ‘I would like to not have another synthetic pathogen cause a global pandemic. I think we can all agree that wasn’t a great experience,’ he replied. ‘Wasn’t that bad compared to what it could have been, but I’m surprised there has not been more global coordination and I think we should have more of that.’
This comment is fucked. Completely discounting his experience because he has money is fucked.
Pro-tip: you can choose not to be a volunteer marketwashing billionaire stan
Sammyboi isn’t going to give you a hug or a handshake for helping his image
Those kinds of comments are also so weird, because the remark was that he has money and a doomsday bunker. Like how do you ignore half that sentence? It wasn’t even long.
Of course in reality it doesn’t seem Sam has a bunker, it is worse. he actually makes fun of the people with money who have bunkers, I hope Atheartengineer is consistent and also tells Sam his comments are fucked, and that Sam is inconsiderate for making fun of those poor people with money. ;)
(The latter part of the comment was just me going ‘wait does he even have a doomsday bunker’ it comes from my curiosity and attempts at being funny not some deep seated fight against hypocrisy)

Money is power and the powerful already get enough influence over us through other means. We shouldn’t directly listen to them, and in fact we should be skeptical of their claims.
@AtHeartEngineer @swlabr Won’t someone think of the poor little billionaires
