alt Hacker NewsI think Sam Altman is an asshole and I prefer to spend my money elsewhere.
Frontier models being commoditize is inevitable. OpenAI thinks they're still competing on technology, and not user experience and market reputation otherwise they'd understand the continuous negative PR generated by Altman's chaos is going to cost them everything.

Altman does appear to be an asshole, but I have bad news for you if you think Anthropic are the good guys. If anything, they might be worse than OpenAI.
>I think Sam Altman is an asshole and I prefer to spend my money elsewhere.
That's why he chose the OpenAI logo
The idea that intelligence will be commoditized is completely counterintuitive. It comes from the belief that it can’t exceed our own. This is almost certainly not true at the limit. There will likely by many super intelligences like we see life in the wild
Sam and Dario are both assholes of the highest order. Sam just has more masks, and is better at wearing them.
I think all US companies are turning extremely anti consumer hostile thanks to unchecked unregulated capitalist greed and I would prefer my money to the Chinese underdogs. Cannot speak highly enough of Deepseek.
This is exactly it!
Sam Altman is the main perception problem for OpenAI. His background, history, trustworthiness, vibes/interviews etc are all negative PR when seen by the common man.
Dario is more knowledgeable, well informed, empathetic w.r.t. problems etc. In short, somebody who seems mature and trustworthy.
OpenAI and Anthropic are the same shit. That people think that Anthropic is in any way morally superior is sort of laughable.
How can you say this as if supporting Dario is any better.
At the top level of anything there is almost no such thing as a non-asshole.
None of them care genuinely about you they just want your money.
