How is homophobia coming from me? Also yes, sociopathy in a powerful organization is bad okay but you are not attacking sociopathy, you are attacking Sam Altman personally and claiming its bad because he's a sociopath (without any medical basis just circumstancial subjective opinion). Lets say fine, we remove him and every other bad CEO, what now? Do you think the system we have built will not put these type of people in power? Shouldn't our focus be on the actual issue, i.e. the factors that make these powerful companies do such awful things to actually change things? We can complain about the symptom (Altman) and blame them morally or because of personal reasons. But that doesn't heal the sickness. Just like murdering a CEO doesn't change healthcare in the US, calling a CEO sociopath undermines the actual wrong their organisation does.
I think (this is subjective opinion from my experience so take it as such and not something objective) but a lot of your want for a better world is also linked with your desire to shame and ridicule people. That is not a healthy outlook towards life imo. Not that what you think is wrong morally (i am on your side actually as you realised) but rather the relationship with the moral values. And its bad not because your outrage is fake or stupid but because that relationship is not good for the self eventually. I can think OpenAI is doing a lot of wrong things, I think Sam Altman is sketchy person who is definitely not a morally good agent but I don't need to hate him or get triggered by him. I also think if he just disappears tomorrow, there will no hit to the broader forces which we should actually protest against imo.
People sure are different. Your heart must be in the right place. The kind of post that includes:
> that relationship is not good for the self
I’d expect to come across, or read in my eyes, differently. Maybe more sympathetic, gracious, or kind, or I can’t think of the right word. Guess I see some bones one could throw to the interlocutor considering you probably share much of the same worldview.
Thanks for provoking some thought! I’ll come back to this one for another read and reconsider outrage & healthy outlooks on life.
