you don't threaten to walk out in retaliation while vague-tweeting heart emojis because you think your CEO is a mere sociopath, IMO you do it because A, you won't build generational wealth without him, B, you feel there's an existential risk to humanity under any other leadership or C, you're a pragmatist whose social rank is proportional to how enthusiastic you are about the emperors' fashion

- ben_w 2y agoHm. I can see how it looks cultish. I know people who work there, and I know someone who managed to escape (with outside assistance) from scientology, and… if they're a cult, it's one about how dangerous AI could be, not how great Altman is. But both of these examples are mere anecdotes; I have no formal qualifications to discuss cults, and contact with only two current staff members.
