Sam Altman to Decoded: ‘The world should accept some bad things happening’ for the benefits of AI https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/04/sam-altman-decoded-interview-ai-01106217 I an really tired and sick of this AI stuff where handful of extremely rich folks telling rest of us that we should accept job losses due to AI, theft of all data, environmental damage, less clean water to drink, increased energy costs and inflation for the benefits of AI slop.

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social The owners should accept making AI a public good for the benefits of the world.

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social Job losses either with UBI or Guillotines. If they really think AI will replace a significant amount of jobs, 10% or more of them then I don't see the population staying quiet and just accepting that.

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social Why should we do anything whatsoever "for the benefits of AI?" Instead, and for the benefit of human beings, let's avoid so-called "AI."

  • @nixCraft@mastodon.social Sam Altman is a con man. The fact that the world at large seems to take him on his word is a true testimony to how dire a situation we're all in right now. I get that kids believe all his bs, but grown ass journalists should have the ability for some bare minimum critical thinking, at least if you lived through the dot com bubble. There are plenty scientists that debunk all the blah blah this man utters on a daily basis, but they aren't feeding the narrative I guess... 🤷

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social Yeah, it's pretty much the same argument Charlie Kirk made about gun violence 🤷‍♂️

    @nixCraft@mastodon.social The other take away from this “article” is that Altman and Amodei want regulation over all the theoretical, made up damage that AI will never do to humanity in future, but none on the actual damage it’s doing to the environment and economy right now.
