Here's my admittedly crazy theory: Altman wanted to force Congress into regulating AI. This would automatically squeeze out most competitors because, in highly regulat5ed industries, the win goes to the company with the most lawyers.
Altman has been the one fighting against regulation of AI the most. Others wanted it to be used for public benefit, and he pressed hard to privatize it and get his own startup, foreign investors, disregard copyright, everything that's bad about AI is because of Sam Altman.

"It’s hard to see how the AI wasn’t merely holding them back from all this, and why Altman would find this outcome inspiring in the context of running a company that is bent on inundating the world with AI. Maybe he just missed the subtext? It’s become something of a running joke that Altman is bad at understanding movies: he thought Oppenheimer should have been made in a way that inspired kids to become physicists, and that the Social Network was a great positive message for startup founders."
That is crazy. I dimly remember a MAD magazine bit where a reporter visits some neo-Nazis, and their favorite movie is "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," because they only watch the first 45 minutes.
There is a lot being said about the movie "Her" here with no mention of the creator, writer and director of the film, Spike Jonze. There is a lot Altman gets wrong about what the film is about that could have been readily rebutted by citing commentary and insights from the actual creator of the film. In the realm of commentary on AI in the context of our culture right now, that feels like a big miss (although likely not intentional)
You know I've seen a few "articles" mentioning that Microsoft was forced to stop using a voice that sounded eerily similar to Scarlett Johannsen's, but none of them mentioned this movie "Her" that you speak of, and without that context, it makes it seem like it actually could be a coincidence. I'm so tired of articles these days that seem to think people only care about the headline, so I really appreciate this excellent journalism.
I also think the link you make about 'consent' is interesting. I read something truly disturbing recently from his sister, that makes me realize that he's disregarded the concept of consent for a long time.
Not really? I don't really "believe" Altman on any of these points, but he has stated all of those things — he constantly professes to building AGI, constantly worries publicly about the risk, and has admitted he has a plot of land in Big Sur, guns, and a survival bunker. I *do* think he intuits on some level how much his class is loathed and worries about unrest etc, and maybe a wider calamity, and yes, I do think his hubris is such that he believes he'll be insulated in a bunker if things get hairy!
Sorry, turns out if you are the most enthusiadtic fieriest responder o course t robot w putt you up front. Sorry , my fear stands. I think you will notice in future your carefully worded respinses getting attached as responses to older staler comments. This is my this minute experience.
Gawd y ou all sorry my bad. My blague was posted as a new tgread and i tbought it was randomly sent up as a comment on a random comment. Ugh i still think Her is the one only utopia in english fiction.
Your sub optimum, non positive. You will see give it two days it is abew feature. I have ominir skin inflmation because Shortstack has not told us they are using AI. Goto hell .
That Movie is the one and only positive yew topia in the english language. You donot enjoy people getting their queer rocks off on screen ? Duly dully noted. Thankyou for complaining...
Sam is nuttier than a fruitcake and an idiot. Not a good combination for a CEO but it seems that's not uncommon😕

Sam Altman’s obsession with "Her" is problematic; it exposes OpenAI's entitlement issues and ethical lapses.

Yeah... probably not best that such people think there are solutions in the first place.

There is no proof (at least yet) that Altman “pilfered” Johannsson’s voice.
This controversy is bringing out the worst of Substack.
While the media focuses on Sam Altman, Microsoft is making plans to build data centers in more than half a dozen countries.
They are able to do this because of their deal with OpenAI and faster Azure growth. What will they do in those countries like Indonesia and Thailand?
They will train the cheap labor AI workers of the future.
so let me get it straight
You believe
1. altman thinks he will build AGI
2. altman see a significant risk for AGI turn to ASI and destroy the planet
3. altman believes if that risk materializes he can save himself from that ASI with the help of a bunker
you see the inconsistencies in that flow right?
