I once read that when a person looks up and to the left while answering a question, they are making something up or lying, while looking to the right means they are searching for the answer. Sam Altman looks at _where_ when answering the first question in the video?

  Not sure where we all seemed to hear that one (I'm guessing some movie made it a big plot point), but there's at least one actual study that disagrees: >In short, all three studies provided no evidence to support the notion that the patterns of eye-movements promoted by many NLP practitioners aid lie detection. This is in line with findings from a considerable amount of previous work showing that facial clues (including eye movements) are poor indicators of deception [1] https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0040259 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

    It was in some self-help book about negotiations… Thanks for the link. We (those who read "that" book) should definitely read the article.

  I read that you can choose your eye movements, and those of other body parts, at any particular moment and deceive anyone who thinks they can determine truths by watching you. There are even a group of people who are paid to mimic emotions for entertainment purposes.

> [11:34] It's almost like Altman wants to build a whole other economy. Not-coincidentally, a bunch of the hyper-wealthy financiers in those circles are also involved in attempts to create the 21st-century version of "company towns", where the law is mostly whatever your boss says it is.

  One thing which any state hate more than unpaid taxes is losing monopoly on violence.

  15 minutes town. With enlightened führer. What could go wrong… A lot of people are sheep, NPC, they want to be lead. So it works. Until it doesn’t. Mr Altman is on the path that most of us can see but his admirers will deny it.
