Like. Part of the problem is he’s lying to investors. He hasn’t ever really cared about what the general public thinks except if it affects what investors think of his product. And it’s important to keep records of what he (and the others like him) says because eventually investors will want to sue (which is the only comeuppance these types ever get) if he doesn’t make good on his lies.
Keeping track of the lies proves that he did lie. Doesn’t do any of us any good if investors believe him and he manages to make a deal with them to sweep the lies under the rug in exchange for something that’s short term lucrative. But that’s why.
The general masses just need drama as far as I can tell. Hate sells. Well, that and I think people like him want to keep people like us afraid so we’re more controllable.
Well we’ve got to keep a record, but we don’t have to go along with it! When Altman says “ai is gonna be smarter than people” we can just say “no it won’t buddy” and call it a day.
I think part of the problem is they know a lot people want life and entertainment to be the same thing, so they can sell scifi as reality and it’s a sure way to get tithes from the faithful.
For sure, it’s Elon’s whole thing. Look at Star Citizen, same thing. Blur the lines between what’s achievable and what seems feasible and say you need people’s money to make th dream work. Money go brrrrr
I don’t know if that’s a good example, in the US everyone reflexively hates and makes fun of the president no matter who it is. Everything the government says is always considered bullshit no matter what. But for some reason this doesn’t apply to CEOs.
I’ve always wondered that too. If everybody knows someone is lying, why do we have to keep going along with it?
For one thing I think record keeping.

It’s not just about AI, though. This is just an incredibly common phenomenon.

Or the Kremlin, or Trump, or …

-“Trump indicated that the tariffs are going to make the economy …”, “Trump just stated on trut social that the Iran deal …”
The media sure do listen to your presidents ramblings and social media posts.
…
We don’t have the same kind of country you have.
“The media” is owned by our elite. It is in no way reflective of the average person’s opinion.
Not even youtubers and the like? I mean only the very old watch tv nowadays. In “my” country at least 😨!
