SHNEAKO - Sam Altman's Plan to Destroy the World

00:00:00.000 Sam Altman is about to destroy society forever.

00:00:03.160 Who's Sam Altman? 0.98

00:00:04.100 Sam Altman is the gay Jew behind ChatGPT. 1.00

00:00:08.360 The LLM that Netanyahu is proud of. 0.98

00:00:12.440 Sam Altman is Silicon Valley's golden child.

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,

00:00:25.380 all while ironing out all of the wrinkles.

00:00:27.820 He's Steve Jobs, but without the toxicity.

00:00:29.700 He's Elon Musk, but without the controversy.

00:00:31.820 He's Zuckerberg, but slightly less robotic.

00:00:33.960 And only slightly.

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 0.85

00:03:15.640 they do have that in common. Depend on this man. The world economy is all in on AI with trillions 0.98

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 0.70

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

00:06:23.720 his uncanny...

00:06:24.220 Love these schizo streams with Warner. Hope you guys are well. 1.00

00:06:26.460 Thanks a lot, man. I appreciate it. Oh, that's the cabin here.

00:06:29.100 Hey, let's go, let's go.

00:06:30.060 What up, man? It's the cooch.

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

00:09:25.100 100 000 silver lions and

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

00:09:48.380 Sam became its central figure.

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. 0.95

00:10:03.420 Only a fool or someone with completely pure morals would have resisted getting rich off of this insider knowledge. 0.97

00:10:08.560 Sam was neither. 0.98

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 0.90

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- 0.99

00:11:34.880 Do you know about Sam Bankman-Fried, the guy right here?

00:11:37.460 ...asked about his biggest scam.

00:11:38.860 Sam Begman-Freedy, locked up right now, Jewish guy of course, 1.00

00:11:42.760 behind one of the biggest crypto scams of all time, FTX.

00:11:45.780 Oh wow, no, I don't know anything about it.

00:11:47.940 Masters have cloned themselves in this exact ideology. 0.59

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.

00:11:57.640 The youngest billionaire in the world.

00:12:00.320 Is that heady when you hear that?

00:12:02.780 You know, it's not what matters.

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

00:12:11.860 and that's why I love what I'm doing so much.

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

00:12:20.440 was literally collapsing from within.

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 0.87

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

00:13:26.500 about, oh, Mars and space

00:13:28.760 and this, this, and that, but they haven't

00:13:30.680 even explored, like,

00:13:32.220 I think, what, 8% of the ocean?

00:13:34.720 The reality, they know nothing about the ocean,

00:13:37.020 but yet they want to go outside

00:13:38.700 and do this, this, and that. We can't even go to Antarctica.

00:13:41.120 It's closed off, you can't be filmed there.

00:13:42.660 It's like Islam is for all of humanity, 0.74

00:13:44.700 but then ban Niggas from 1.00

00:13:46.700 entering into Mecca. Well, it's the holy city

00:13:48.760 for Muslims. Anybody can be

00:13:50.720 Muslim. What a stupid point. 1.00

00:13:53.200 This is a city, it's our holy 1.00

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 0.84

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 0.88

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 0.80

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 0.60

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 0.65

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 0.98

00:25:49.640 we'll work on wall street we'll get the transaction fees we'll let the the goyim 1.00

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,

00:28:41.320 but is it really worth the hype?

00:28:42.380 An app that's doing a few billion in revenue

00:28:43.600 somehow worth hundreds of billions.

00:28:45.360 And how devastating could this economic bubble

00:28:47.020 that we now find ourselves in be?

00:28:48.440 Well, depending on what happens next to the global economy,

00:28:50.380 billions of people could have a big reason

00:28:51.440 to hate Sam Altman.

00:28:53.460 Again, thank you to War Thunder for sponsoring.

00:28:55.420 Great video from Moon, shout out to Moon.

00:28:57.420 That's Sam Altman right there.

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

00:29:05.540 that's coming very soon.

00:29:06.760 We'll be right back.
