But that comment also completely misses the point Sam Altman was making.
- eesmith 9y agoAltman says that PC is "willing to make accommodations to treat others well." matt_the_bass quotes a definition of PC which is "don’t be a d_ck, and if you are, people will call you out on it". These are two different views of PC. I agree with the one matt_the_bass quoted. Altman is wrong about what PC means. Much of Altman's essay depends on that wrong definition. I read the essay. Altman is an idiot, for the reasons Gizmodo describes. For all we know, unification of QM and GR would have happened already if a gay man hadn't left the field after dealing with one too many homophobic comments.
- matt_the_bass 9y agoI wasn't quoting the article. I was quoting the comment. I thought the comment was relevant to the discussion and wanted to make sure it was highlighted here.
