Sam Altman is about to destroy society forever.
00:00:15.400
The next model of tech CEO, humble and unassuming, but with a big vision for the future.
00:00:20.720
His carefully managed public image has been designed to take the best bits from other CEOs,
00:00:35.340
Sam tries to put forward a humble image online,
00:00:37.840
leaving lowercase Twitter comments about how he wouldn't spend lots of money on a car.
00:00:41.600
But he's also been spotted driving cars worth far more than the Porsche he was talking about.
00:00:45.700
Like most tech CEOs, Altman loves to go on podcasts,
00:00:48.780
but he just can't resist his urge to dodge any uncomfortable questions.
00:00:52.200
Just listen to him dodge this very simple direct question on Theo Von's podcast.
00:00:56.260
a lot of these guys have bunkers zucky has a bunkie i know that somewhere out in hawaii
00:01:00.100
do you have a bunker i have like underground concrete heavy reinforced basements but i don't
00:01:05.460
have anything that's what a bunker is i have a bunker i have underground reinforced basements
00:01:13.940
that i've spent billions of dollars on that's exactly what a bunker is
00:01:18.580
i don't think that's really interesting the fact that bunkers exist the fact that bunkers exist
00:01:24.020
tells me everything they need to know and these are not normal five dollar bunkers these are
00:01:28.100
multi-million dollar bunkers if there's multi-million dollar bunkers and these people
00:01:32.900
are spending this much money on living underground um don't you think they're trying to prepare for
00:01:37.460
something right people aren't gonna spend that much money over speculation they're only gonna
00:01:42.660
spend that much money over what they know is gonna happen and same thing with uh they cry about
00:01:47.460
climate change all the time but people like bill gates they just bought you know multi-billion dollar
00:01:52.020
shorefront properties it's like okay if the sea levels are rising why would the people that have
00:01:57.220
overwhelming knowledge about the climate buy houses right by sea level you know especially
00:02:03.540
oh blackrock for example people crying about bitcoin me and claude were going back and forth
00:02:07.140
about that yesterday he was saying that oh bitcoin's escape okay then why is blackrock
00:02:11.060
investing money into it just look at where the wealthiest people the people with the most
00:02:14.580
amount of power are putting their money it's the best way to see where the future is going
00:02:18.820
he's just the same as the rest of them and the fact that he would try and bend the truth over
00:02:39.160
something that confirms that makes it all the more obvious and it's just the tip of the iceberg and
00:02:43.880
unfortunately there's mounting evidence that ultimate is far worse than the average tech
00:02:47.760
billionaire this person of the year has left a long trail of lawsuits allegations powerful enemies
00:02:53.240
and possibly even murders what's even worse is that so much of the future could one thing he has
00:02:59.060
in common with peter teal if i'm not mistaken allegedly in my opinion well peter teal does
00:03:03.280
have an ex-boyfriend that offed himself apparently so does sam altman they're both uh sam altman is a
00:03:09.820
gay jew peter teal is a gay person who works with israel a gay white guy works with israel but
00:03:15.640
they do have that in common. Depend on this man. The world economy is all in on AI with trillions
00:03:22.460
of dollars riding on Sam Altman's personal promises for the future. And if they turn out
00:03:26.780
to be just another set of lies, the consequences could be cataclysmic. That's why the future of
00:03:32.460
the world could very well hinge on the reasons why I hate Sam Altman. To many, it did just seem
00:03:37.760
like he came out of nowhere. As ChatGPT skyrocketed to popularity overnight, so did his profile to a
00:03:42.660
wider audience. But people more connected to Silicon Valley have known Sam Altman for years.
00:03:47.880
Far from being an outsider, he was a central figure at the very heart of the tech world.
00:03:52.420
He worked on the inside, brushing shoulders with billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.
00:03:56.400
But even before that, Sam Altman was just a kid. He was the first child of thought,
00:04:00.760
with politically connected real estate developer father and a dermatologist mother. In other words,
00:04:05.040
Sam was born into high society. And Sam was a bright clit and clearly a prodigy when it came
00:04:09.820
to technology. His semi-official biography The Optimist writes that at just two years old he was
00:04:14.180
using his dad's VCR player to watch Sesame Street. It also doesn't shy away from how differently
00:04:18.600
wide he was. When he was still just two Sam's mother took him to the playground but instead
00:04:23.320
of running to play on the swings or to hang off the monkey bars Sam just sat down on a bench.
00:04:27.820
Quotes no mum. Another thing he has a common with Peter Thiel both bullied kids. So many of the
00:04:32.200
people that run Silicon Valley and this tech world just revenge on the nerds. They were bullied as
00:04:37.700
kids and hurt people hurt people and so they want to destroy the whole world because you know misery
00:04:43.360
loves company they had a bad childhood they just want to take it out on everybody else
00:04:46.960
i'm going to sit with you here and let's just watch the babies play at the age of eight sam
00:05:03.240
was then given his first computer. He almost immediately learned how to program on it. In
00:05:07.440
The Optimist, Sam uses this as an opportunity to lay the seeds for his vision for AI. As the
00:05:11.780
author writes, quote, I just remember thinking that someday the computer was going to learn to
00:05:15.640
think. They then go on to explain how Sam needed to get away from the participation trophies and
00:05:20.200
into an environment that more suited his genius. At around the age of 13, Sam transferred to a
00:05:25.080
prestigious private school where he made his first real connections with upper society,
00:05:28.680
which mixed inclusivity with massive pressure for students to get good grades. He wasn't just
00:05:33.000
a stereotypical nerd though. Friends and family do describe a young Sam Altman as confident and
00:05:37.480
able to convince people of almost anything. His passion for whatever he was working towards was
00:05:41.700
infectious. His father had used this family trait to work on building affordable housing.
00:05:57.680
Sam Altman's plans were entirely different. For college he enrolled at Stanford to major in
00:06:02.780
computer science, although he didn't last very long. The connections, again, were far more
00:06:06.960
important for Sam than the lectures or the courses he took. At this point in the 2000s,
00:06:10.980
Stanford had cemented his reputation as the feeder school for Silicon Valley. Tiny startups
00:06:15.240
and tech giants alike proud its corridors, looking for any young prodigy programmers and the next
00:06:19.760
generation of entrepreneurs. Ullman's general intelligence and his technology combined with
00:06:24.220
Love these schizo streams with Warner. Hope you guys are well.
00:06:26.460
Thanks a lot, man. I appreciate it. Oh, that's the cabin here.
00:06:30.900
any ability to persuade people of his vision were a magic combo within only two years of the school
00:06:38.560
he got caught up in the silicon valley fever leaving to begin his own startup admittedly
00:06:42.940
though it wasn't anything special loop as it was called was a social network designed to focus on
00:06:47.520
real life location tracking and a kind of check-in feature in 2008 a 23 year old sam altman gave this
00:06:53.500
presentation on the app obviously we know a lot more about what social media needs to work now
00:06:57.240
than we did back in 2008. It does have some good elements that look like things Snapchat would add
00:07:01.480
years later. But even then, it was clear that there were lots of problems. For this app to have ever
00:07:06.020
worked, it would have needed constant surveillance and tracking. At the same time, people would also
00:07:09.960
need to engage with the app almost constantly. They would always have to be updating their status
00:07:13.660
to make it work properly. Altman didn't really need to convince the general public about loops
00:07:17.240
yet though. Instead, his role as CEO was to sell the app to the expansive world of Silicon Valley
00:07:21.280
venture capitalism. This was funnily enough something he found very easy and you can kind
00:07:25.560
of see why. Take a listen to young Sam telling an interviewer why Loopt will take off based on his
00:07:29.580
vision for the future. He has this uncanny ability to make his vision for the future seem
00:07:53.040
completely believable. Looped will succeed because people will soon stop caring about privacy and
00:07:57.160
want to share their location all the time. It'll happen because of how obviously valuable Looped
00:08:00.940
is. Today, we know none of that really happened in the way he imagined it, but investors at the
00:08:05.000
time completely bought in. Straight out of the gate, Looped received $5 million from various
00:08:09.500
Silicon Valley investors. But as the years went on, the app never really got off the ground.
00:08:13.800
Altman boasted about a large and healthy user base and interviews, but who actually remembers
00:08:17.140
this app at all? It didn't stop him from convincing investors to put in more money though.
00:08:20.680
Over its seven-year lifespan, the app was periodically injected with outside funds,
00:08:24.280
keeping it alive. On paper though, it was a failure. Despite all of his vision and his
00:08:29.260
confidence, Loot became a footnote in tech history. But as we can speculate now, that
00:08:33.320
might have never been the purpose of Loot for Sam Altman. He probably believed in the app with all
00:08:37.620
of his heart at one point. But as time went on, Sam became increasingly involved in the inner
00:08:41.920
workings of Silicon Valley's investment engine. His status as a fast-rising startup entrepreneur
00:08:46.080
was all he needed to make connections with powerful people like Peter Thiel and Reid
00:08:49.580
Hoffman. Eventually, his friends at Sequoia Capital would step in and take Loopt off of his
00:08:53.380
hands, allowing Sam to net a few million dollars in the process, despite having pretty much nothing
00:09:00.700
concrete to show for years and years of work. But Loopt had given Sam a foothold in Silicon Valley.
00:09:06.620
But before we continue, I want to tell you about War Thunder.
00:09:13.620
Does Warner do Umrah tours for public? Would love to do it if possible.
00:09:18.300
great question no only private oh sorry little bro get your money up
00:09:30.660
would make him his unofficial king in 2011 sam joined y combinator it wasn't just investment
00:09:37.820
fund it was the startup accelerator in silicon valley airbnb twitch reddit stripe doordash
00:09:43.600
coinbase and dozens of other household names all owed their existence to it in one way or another
00:09:50.160
He came to decide which startups got funding, which were favoured,
00:09:53.220
and which were ignored and starved of cash before they could rock the boat.
00:09:56.100
It also gave him the opportunity to get in on the ground floor with tons of potentially massive companies.
00:10:00.580
A scattering of small investments could net him millions down the line.
00:10:03.420
Only a fool or someone with completely pure morals would have resisted getting rich off of this insider knowledge.
00:10:09.780
He was right on the front lines of venture capitalism,
00:10:12.120
picking out the prize apples for them to pluck from the trees.
00:10:14.700
But while extending his own web of connections and influence,
00:10:17.000
Sam still found a way to make it sound like he was working towards some sort of greater good
00:10:21.120
for society. In 2014, Sam was then made president of Y Combinator and his personal reach extended
00:10:34.280
even further. He was only 28 years old, and to many, it was obvious how much power he had in
00:10:38.980
his hands. But to deflect from those kinds of questions, Sam had a special answer. You could
00:10:43.080
be forgiven for thinking that Silicon Valley had just no real ideology or philosophy, other than
00:10:47.720
to make as much money as possible, whatever the cost. But for years, a philosophical movement had
00:10:52.260
been building in Silicon Valley that seemed to offer guilty tech pros a way to justify their
00:10:55.980
actions. Effective altruism is pretty simple on the surface. Springing from the work of the Australian
00:11:00.700
ethicist Peter Singer, its basic principle is that you should do whatever you can to make as many
00:11:05.280
people as happy as possible. For Sam Altman, this logic justified his career choices. He decided
00:11:09.980
that he would be wasting his life if he spent it on working at a soup kitchen or even running a
00:11:13.780
regular charity. Instead, he could use his skills to make as much money as possible. He could then
00:11:18.160
use the profits to fund more charity work than he could ever accomplish directly working for charity.
00:11:22.760
Plus, if he ever got to the top of the tech world, it would prevent someone more evil taking his place
00:11:26.740
and misusing the power for their own gain. Some of Silicon Valley's biggest scam artists have
00:11:31.060
clugged themselves in this exact ideology. When Elizabeth Holmes was-
00:11:34.880
Do you know about Sam Bankman-Fried, the guy right here?
00:11:38.860
Sam Begman-Freedy, locked up right now, Jewish guy of course,
00:11:42.760
behind one of the biggest crypto scams of all time, FTX.
00:11:47.940
Masters have cloned themselves in this exact ideology.
00:11:51.020
When Elizabeth Holmes was asked how she felt being the youngest billionaire in the world,
00:11:54.800
she immediately leant on this to make herself look humble.
00:12:04.520
and what matters is how well we do in trying to make people's lives better.
00:12:09.260
That's why I'm doing this, that's why I work the way that I work
00:12:14.380
Sam Backman-Fried was also a big fan of the movement,
00:12:17.080
later using it to try and excuse his actions in an interview taken while FDX
00:12:22.160
You know, I was thinking a lot about, you know, bed nets and malaria,
00:12:25.940
about, you know, saving people from diseases no one should die from,
00:12:28.960
about animal welfare, about pandemic prevention
00:12:31.380
and you know what could be done on large scales help mitigate those. Sam Altman would use these
00:12:36.540
ideas to his own benefits. Just like Bankman, Fried and Holmes he uses them as a shield but
00:12:41.620
he also used them as an excuse to gain even more power and start open AI. Obviously if tech oligarchs
00:12:47.300
had actually stuck to real effective altruism it would have been great. They could have spent their
00:12:51.300
vast excesses of money on food for the hungry or by investing in vital infrastructure. Instead the
00:12:56.920
movement took a much more different time top we were speaking about this yesterday but it's like
00:13:01.600
i think one of the biggest problems that's not spoken about is the fact that these tech
00:13:05.440
billionaires they're investing so much money into mars into ai mass surveillance when they have all
00:13:10.380
the funds right now to feed every hungry person in the world there's no reason that people need
00:13:14.720
to be starving they have all the capital to feed them and every waking moment they choose to not
00:13:20.560
do it it's an active decision to keep people hungry and did you notice that they love talking
00:13:34.720
The reality, they know nothing about the ocean,
00:13:38.700
and do this, this, and that. We can't even go to Antarctica.
00:13:54.800
city anybody you can go but you have to profess that there's only one worthy of worship if you're
00:14:00.300
going to worship idols you're going to worship different things then you can't go to the place
00:14:03.060
of worship of god the house of worship of god is only for the people that worship god alone
00:14:07.640
worship other things go somewhere else and you know something interesting about antarctica so
00:14:12.980
antarctica is one of the only continents right that are every single country in the world has
00:14:18.220
signed a treaty that no one can own it it's only used for scientific purposes don't you find that
00:14:24.180
so fascinating no one is allowed to own this land it's only used for scientific purposes so there's
00:14:29.400
something there and they don't want the rest of the world to know and then since we're young they
00:14:33.840
told us hey guys don't worry there's nothing there it's nothing but ice penguins and polar bears you
00:14:38.800
don't want to go over there and through all the media mr bees all these people what are they they
00:14:43.480
try to push that same narrative for me personally i think gog and magog are hiding there who knows i
00:14:48.940
could be mistaken but i personally think gog and magog would be hiding there that's the only land
00:14:53.180
on earth that we as humans cannot explore openly and that's probably where they're hiding a lot of
00:14:58.000
you know the secrets of the world so yeah forget about mars let's go see that let's go explore our
00:15:03.320
own world first before we spend all this money on spacex minds in the tech world got bored with
00:15:10.220
this grounded version of effective altruism they instead became obsessed with the idea of doing
00:15:14.340
the best thing for the billions or even trillions of people who might exist in our distant future
00:15:18.840
in their minds they needed to save these people from a coming threat one that could potentially
00:15:23.100
wipe out humanity completely. Evil AGI. While it was still a niche position at the time,
00:15:28.320
people like Elon Musk and even some top AI researchers had begun to become incredibly
00:15:32.660
worried about artificial general intelligence. They thought that if we kept on making breakthroughs
00:15:45.140
with AI, then we would quickly stumble across an artificial intelligence capable of improving
00:15:49.480
itself and escaping its digital chains. If it decided that humans weren't worth keeping around,
00:15:54.840
then it could go full Skynet and just destroy humanity. Preventing this outcome outweighed
00:15:59.480
all the mosquito nets and aid packages that you could dream of. Musk saw this as an imminent
00:16:04.040
threat, especially considering that Google was well ahead in AI development and seemed to have
00:16:08.520
no care about human life. They had all the power, all the funding and they had hired pretty much all
00:16:13.240
of the top AI researchers. With their profit incentive, Musk believed that they could easily
00:16:17.320
create the next HAL 9000. To beat Google and save humanity, Musk needed a startup unlike any other.
00:16:23.440
This was what brought him into contact with Sam Altman and his network of wealthy investors who
00:16:27.480
shared his concerns with AI. Over the course of a few months, they came up with a plan to beat
00:16:31.320
Google. Without any other way to compete, Musk, Altman and the gang would have to attack them on
00:16:35.440
an ideological level. In her book Empire of AI and an interview since it was released, Karen HAL
00:16:40.060
describes how this all took place. Because of that fear, Altman and Musk then thought we need
00:16:45.380
do a non-profit, not have these profit-driven incentives. We're going to focus on being
00:16:49.860
completely open, transparent, and also collaborative to the point of self-sacrificing,
00:16:54.500
if necessary. I have come to speculate. This is not based on any documents that I read or anything.
00:17:00.180
That's not cozy. Stop being racist. I've come to speculate that part of the reason why they
00:17:04.580
started as a non-profit in the first place is because it was a great recruitment tool for
00:17:09.540
getting at that bottleneck. They could not compete on salaries with Google, but they could
00:17:14.900
compete on a sense of mission this is the reason that musk named the company open ai and today is
00:17:20.420
just completely ironic but back then it was truly an open attempt at making ai without any profit
00:17:25.300
motives the ideological approach worked at first it enabled the company to poach lots of google's
00:17:29.780
top ai researchers despite the drop in salary it also meant that the company had tons of funds to
00:17:34.180
work with a large portion of them coming from musk himself obviously today we know that open ai is
00:17:38.980
one of the most profit incentivized capitalistic companies around someone in the chat says so elon
00:17:44.100
is trying to save us yeah well he was talking about the dangers of open ai and then created
00:17:48.300
a direct competitor which is almost identical to it grok is the same exact thing as chat gpt
00:17:52.940
this guy instead of trying to push legislation to restrict mass surveillance from ai he just
00:17:59.020
created a competitor burger king to the mcdonald's good and also that's just a form of manipulation
00:18:04.320
too hey guys oh you know just to make it seem like he's a good guy you know i'm saying
00:18:08.500
Musk is currently in the process of suing Altman and OpenAI,
00:18:13.720
accusing them of having always been profit motivated and of duping him for years into
00:18:17.360
funding their schemes. Whether or not that's true will come out in the courts, but the emails we've
00:18:21.560
seen already from the legal process are just incredibly telling. Just take a look at this
00:18:25.260
exchange between Altman and Musk, which seems to suggest they were all in on the grift by 2017.
00:18:29.840
In the next email on the exchange, Musk offers to give them all prototype Teslas,
00:18:33.520
but this happy state of affairs didn't last for long, as Altman pushed to make the company just
00:18:37.880
his profit-seeking as the competition, he also worked a muscly Musk out of the business altogether.
00:18:42.580
A few months later, Musk was angry at being taken along for a ride. Instead of preventing a dark AI
00:18:46.960
future, he might have just added another malicious influence into the mix. As time went on, momentum
00:18:51.520
at OpenAI grew and it attracted more and more investors. This was Altman's strength. His pitch
00:18:56.680
was relatively simple. AGI was going to change the world entirely. Getting in on the ground level
00:19:02.240
with OpenAI, who had a good chance of being the first to make the breakthrough, could therefore
00:19:06.100
be the most profitable investment ever. It was amazing because he didn't need to back it up with
00:19:10.680
much. Just being one of the biggest players in the game was already enough, and the potential of AI
00:19:14.780
sold itself. When ChatGPT went huge in late 2022, it did seem to confirm everything he had been
00:19:20.100
saying. Investors then poured in their investments in hopes of catching the wave. OpenAI went from a
00:19:24.900
relatively small tech company to one of the biggest tech names in the entire world overnight.
00:19:29.720
Altman's world tour then began, where he spent months talking to world leaders and billionaires
00:19:33.580
alike. It was the next part of the plan, getting those juicy government contracts and expanding
00:19:38.160
his power beyond the limits of Silicon Valley and into the halls of government. Other tech
00:19:42.180
companies were quick to join the craze, pouring in their own billions to push their own AI research
00:19:46.160
and products. Even during this golden age, Altman was still playing a dangerous game. Behind the
00:19:50.860
scenes, he ran OpenAI in a strange, secretive way. He hid the development and the release of
00:19:55.220
ChatGPT from the rest of the company's board. He took all the credit for its creation. He seemed to
00:19:59.460
position himself to get all of the recognition, the power, and the glory for himself. It was
00:20:03.680
these resentments that led to the failed coup in 2023. But because of both Microsoft and the
00:20:08.080
company's regular employees backing him up, it completely failed and only increased Altman's
00:20:12.300
power even more. Today, it's clear that he enjoys full control. It's only recently that we've seen
00:20:16.800
Altman's manipulation skills out in the open. His job changed when ChatGPT became so massive
00:20:21.700
and the investment into AI got so crazy. Instead of just having to convince investors, he now has
00:20:26.420
convince the entire world that openai specifically is worth the trillions that are in play recently
00:20:30.820
he's been doing the rounds on podcasts making the standard claim that ai is the future tutors
00:20:35.780
incredible ai medical advisors but but personally speaking i'm so excited for ai for science but
00:20:41.860
he's had to change his tune when chan gpt was the only game in town he was keen to make it
00:20:45.780
clear that it was hopeless for anyone else to compete with their model models how should we
00:20:49.380
think about that where is it that a team from india you know three super smart engineers with
00:20:53.780
you know not 100 million but let's say 10 million could actually build something truly substantial
00:20:58.260
look the way this works is we're going to tell you it's totally hopeless to compete with us on
00:21:01.620
training foundation models you shouldn't try and it's your job to like try anyway and i believe
00:21:06.260
both of those things and i think it i think it is pretty hopeless but he was clearly kind of joking
00:21:12.260
but his comment at the end makes it clear that this was what he really thought chat gpt was a
00:21:16.900
major breakthrough of course but the competitors caught up quickly google and other companies that
00:21:20.820
rivaled OpenAI's resources were quick to respond to the challenge. But even much smaller companies
00:21:25.060
could compete as well, like the Chinese startup DeepSeek and their AI model. Now that OpenAI are
00:21:29.140
losing when it comes to how powerful their model actually is, Altman has begun pushing the idea
00:21:33.460
that none of that even mattered in the first place. When I was a kid, the race was like the
00:21:37.380
megahertz race and then it became the gigahertz race. Everybody wanted a computer with a faster
00:21:40.660
processor and, you know, Intel would come out with this one and then AMD would come out with this one
00:21:44.740
and every like it turned out that those so much has said ai equals actually indians
00:21:53.380
gigahertz measurements eventually were not even that helpful like you could have one that had a
00:21:56.820
lower number it's also a great example of how he tries to appeal to regular people but just ends
00:22:01.620
up looking patronizing it's not the only time he began a story with the phrase when i was a kid
00:22:06.580
like that's the only way he could think of relating to normal people by remembering things
00:22:10.580
from when his brain hadn't properly formed yet on different podcasts altman exposes himself in
00:22:14.980
other ways just watch this clip of how defensive he said again before he was he talked about he
00:22:20.020
was a kid when what so every time he says hey when i was a kid before i was a homosexual oh my god
00:22:26.020
okay talking calls and brought up the open ai whistleblower you had complaints from one
00:22:30.260
programmer who said you guys were basically stealing people's stuff and not paying them
00:22:33.300
and then he wound up murdered what was that also a great tragedy uh he committed suicide
00:22:37.940
do you think he committed suicide i really do that's right medical record does it not look like
00:22:41.060
one to you no he was definitely murdered i think um there were signs of a struggle of course the
00:22:45.780
surveillance camera the wires had been cut um and his mother claims he was murdered on your orders
00:22:51.940
do you believe that i'm well i'm asking i mean you just said it so do you do you believe that
00:22:56.740
when you get deep into this case and look at the details revealed by the family's investigation
00:23:01.380
it becomes incredibly suspicious alderman's reaction to the line of questioning does him
00:23:06.580
and his company absolutely no favors here either. He clams up either giving short answers or long
00:23:11.820
winded nothing responses with seemingly no emotions behind his eyes. He tries to shut
00:23:15.640
down the question by appealing to respect for the family. Meanwhile Tucker had the real respect to
00:23:28.240
give Sochi Balaji's family time to make their case in front of his audience. When you consider
00:23:32.680
the strange circumstances the fact what was named social balaji was it when he timed to make
00:23:39.020
failure meanwhile tucker has the real respect to give social balaji's family time oh balaji okay
00:23:45.740
not okay okay all right you said yeah you thought it was jeet it's very close right
00:23:50.900
very close no the way that he announced it yeah right look at them justice for jeet bro balaji
00:23:56.560
come on be respectful guys be respectful no real warning signs and the discrepancies of the scene
00:24:00.920
you can really see where they were coming from. And it only adds to the pressure on future potential
00:24:19.240
whistleblowers to not say anything that could damage OpenAI or Sam Altman. Then when you add
00:24:23.580
in the predatory, incredibly restrictive NDAs that he makes employees sign, it does get a little
00:24:28.520
worrying. Meanwhile, the other effects that OpenAI has had on the world today are just incredibly
00:24:32.480
alarming. In her book, Empire of AI, Karen Howe investigates these in excruciating detail.
00:24:37.540
She reveals the communities sucked dry by OpenAI's data centers. She talks to people in the
00:24:41.960
developing world hired on poverty wages to trawl through heartbreaking and mentally scurrying
00:24:46.020
content, all for ChatGPT's training data. Now, you could say that this is all justified to bring
00:24:50.900
the wonders of AI to the world, but really it's not a bright future either way. Think about the
00:24:55.020
options. Even if you assume that Sam Oldman is correct, things don't look so good to be a man
00:25:00.320
that deserves all of this power. If AI really is this transformational, then he's going to be one
00:25:04.720
of the most powerful men in history. And just look at how he's used his power already to see
00:25:08.780
how that could turn out. On the other hand, he could end up being another Silicon Valley tragedy,
00:25:13.000
someone who built a whole lot of hype which eventually led to a spectacular downfall.
00:25:16.740
Sometimes in the aftermath of a collapse, a moment from the past can come back and stand out.
00:25:20.220
It can feel like the problem was hiding in plain sight, just waiting for someone to notice it.
00:25:23.000
when sam bankman freed and his fortunate ftx empire came crashing down it was his infamous
00:25:26.680
box interview he had given a few months before in the clip he pretty much describes a ponzi scheme
00:25:30.040
but with new crypto words and extra steps this year in x tokens being given out for it that's
00:25:34.440
a 16 return that's pretty good we'll put a little bit more in right and maybe that happens until
00:25:38.360
there are 200 million dollars in the box so well remember the words from jeffrey epstein in the
00:25:42.200
files he said let the goyim work in the real world the jew will work in finance stocks ships shorting
00:25:49.640
we'll work on wall street we'll get the transaction fees we'll let the the goyim
00:25:53.000
work in the real world sam beckman free does embody that completely
00:25:58.040
so translation we work to manipulate the money while you work for the money
00:26:05.320
you know sophisticated traders and or people on crypto twitter or others or similar parties
00:26:09.240
go and put 200 million dollars in box collectively and they start getting these x tokens for it
00:26:12.760
right and now all of a sudden it's like wow people just decide to put 200 million dollars in the box
00:26:16.440
this is a pretty cool box. Now all of a sudden, of course, the smart money is like, oh wow,
00:26:19.320
like this thing's now yielding like 60% a year in X token. Of course I'll take my 60% yield.
00:26:22.820
He ends his explanation not with people figuring out the box was worthless, but with this line
00:26:26.300
instead. Right, so they go, they pour another $300 million in the box, and you get a site,
00:26:29.660
and then it goes to infinity. Of course, this wasn't how it ended for FTX. It didn't go to
00:26:32.860
infinity, and eventually the speculation ended. When he was challenged on how shady this all
00:26:35.960
seemed, he didn't even defend it. Altman was asked a very similar question in an interview
00:26:39.160
about OpenAI. He was questioned on the astronomical difference between their revenue
00:26:42.040
and their investment promises. Quite simply, how could someone promise hundreds of billions
00:26:44.880
of investment with 1,000 times less revenue. He took a different approach, angrily denying the
00:26:48.600
question entirely and pretty much saying that it doesn't even matter.
00:27:14.880
to some of the people who are making the most noise on twitter whatever about this very quickly
00:27:17.360
you can tell it's not how anyone expected him to respond the microsoft ceo was also on the call and
00:27:21.120
as the ceo of microsoft and one of openai's biggest so you remember from professor uh james lecture
00:27:26.400
yesterday where we were talking about the the psychology of evil people right like and he
00:27:31.920
talked about how their sociopath they lacked emotion and you could clearly see that guy like
00:27:36.560
he just lacks like empathy you know certain characteristics of emotion that normally humans
00:27:42.880
have you can see he's just lacking that and we just studied that yesterday i think it's like
00:27:46.780
well to have that much power and control you can't be a normal function you have to be a sociopath
00:27:51.100
it's the psycho versus schizo versus normie theory you're gonna play
00:27:54.580
the psychos are the ones manipulating the normies and the greatest threat to the psychos are the
00:27:59.860
schizos good point yeah investors he clearly didn't like it he immediately laughs awkwardly
00:28:06.060
in response to the hostility and tries to change the subject and let me just say one thing uh brad
00:28:10.240
as both a partner and an investor, there has not been a single business plan that I've seen from
00:28:15.700
OpenAI that they've put in and not beaten it. So in some sense, this is the one place where,
00:28:20.580
you know, in terms of their growth, and just even the business, it's been an unbelievable
00:28:23.640
execution, quite frankly. I mean, obviously, OpenAI, everyone talks about all the success
00:28:26.440
and usage and what have you. But even, I'd say, all up, the business execution has been just
00:28:30.200
pretty unbelievable. At the same time, it's clear from how defensive Sam Altman got that the
00:28:33.380
question must bother him as well. It's the kind of hard truth that even he finds hard to dodge,
00:28:36.760
and this is the crux of the problem with Sam Altman.
00:28:38.820
China 2PT is undoubtedly a great piece of technology,
00:28:48.440
Well, depending on what happens next to the global economy,
00:28:53.460
Again, thank you to War Thunder for sponsoring.
00:28:58.560
You gotta see the psychos that are controlling the world
00:29:01.080
and getting everybody to be used to the AI surveillance state
