Why is Sam Altman disliked?

ChatGPT is a result of rapid enshittification in the name of mining data from their userbase as well as money. He made that. He also apparently raped his sister and she’s filing a lawsuit because the statute of limitations passed when she was still a minor and unfamiliar with how the court systems worked. This was in the first google results of this man whose name I didn’t know until you said it

He says the most outrageous statements unprompted. To those actually working in AI, it almost like he’s trolling at times.

The genocidalist

That probably sums it up well

[AI Opinion]

Sam Altman gets a lot of heat for a mix of reasons 🤷‍♀️

Some people see him as the face of “corporate AI,” taking something that started more idealistic and turning it into a profit-driven powerhouse. Others dislike the secrecy around OpenAI, the aggressive push for rapid AI development, and worries about safety, jobs, and power.

His brief ousting from OpenAI and quick return also made him look politically powerful and polarizing, so critics project a lot onto him, whether fair or not.
