It's hilarious that this should surprise anyone at all, or that Sam Altman is anything but a mendacious, self-serving, compulsive liar of the worst tech world kind. For example, Elon Musk gets lots fo hate for all kinds of things. Some of it is very valid, but much of it also goes to the point of there being derangement syndrome around him, partly (I suspect) because of his openly stated zeitgeist-contrary political beliefs, yet i'd pick his sometimes crude, bullying but fundamental openness about who he is any day over the shiny paint job of platitudes and false correctness found in someone like Altman. Not to mention that the overall value of Musk's companies trumps anything I've seen done by Altman's sludge-pumping AI technology so far. This last is of course not a moral judgement but a practical one.
