In today's episode, we look at the life, philosophy and legacy of Sam Altman, the man behind OpenAI. I started covering OpenAI back in 2017. Even back then, right out of the gate, they were achieving breakthroughs. Only time will tell if Sam ends up being a hero or villan, but one thing is for sure: his company has certainly shaken things up.

Sam Altman is so powerful, he was fired by the board but a week later, he got his position back while simultaneously firing the board, with further oversight in what happens on the board from now on... I'm waiting for the Cold Fusion Sam Altman part 2 documentary about this guy
One way I've never described a friend: yeah, he's good at becoming powerful
These guys think on a different level than the rest of us, in an almost detached and brutally honest way.
We mortals hang around in different company
@@johnq4951 is it because he is truly that different? Or do we just treat him differently?
@@zyansheep we treat them differently because they are different. I'm also not saying that's a good or bad thing.
I would never want to describe AI that way
If Sam is pretending to be a good person, he's doing a very good job at it. He always knows the right thing to say... almost like...
Almost like.. ... Oh shit!
Reminds me of e
Elon Musk….
I mean no one is forcing him. He could’ve easily turned down invitations from congress and continued building his AI empire. He obviously has some motives driving his decision making but given how cooperative he’s been it’s a bit early to label him as good or bad.
@@estebanperez4171 Yeah his motives are regulation of Open source competition.
Not man but alt man.
This man will go down in history one way or another. I just hope humanity doesn't go down in the process.
This world is not real anyway
@@Montv3
The world is real and president Hillary Clinton soon will start nukes it
Yea
@@Montv3 stop it is real
@@andrewreynolds912 keep dreaming
OpenAI becoming ClosedAI was a massive step in the wrong direction.
What the HELL do YOU know about it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think at a certain point it’s inevitable that it gets locked down. You could potentially have bad actors forking it for malicious purposes
@@tripplefives1402 Absolutely not. Hardware is not the problem. Refined data is the bottleneck. I heard Ilya Sutskever explain this.
@@makecrimeillegal4308 "You could potentially have bad actors forking it for malicious purposes" That is the most logical obvious conclusion. Humanities cultures are far from refined.
Training requires huge amount of computation, true.
But running it, not.
If you had access, you could literally deploy the Model on a single USB stick and do bad things.
As a long standing Open Source advocate, I find Microsoft's involvement terrifying.
And, so, find myself rooting for Google, even though they've already failed at not being evil as they had once promised.
as if google would be any better. i am happy Microsoft forced their hand to release it with this also forcing google to stop keeping their on hold. chat in bing is already incredible useful for my work as a programmer. and is way more useful than google something for several topics.
@@lucaskp16 people are talking about something bigger here. Not about which product is good in its current state.
to be fair, the last model they open sourced was GPT-2. they’ve been faking the whole open source thing well before the microsoft deal

Recap by Tammy AI
Insane
Another fantastic documentary. It’s amazing being able to watch this all unfold in real-time, and Cold Fusions’ documentaries really do a great job in providing the background. Five stars, again.
Good old times of star ratings below TH-cam videos...
@@DerSwaggeryD I'd forgotten about that! Anyway.....
Except for the lab leak part, that really grinded my gears.
Bot
@@JamesIbis why?
By making OpenAI open source, you can pool the world's talent to the development. Once the talent achieve the goals of the founders, it closes itself from the public and dominate the field. No one would be able to beat them because they could use the AI itself to improve itself rapidly. Microsoft's involvement exposes the plot too early.
yep... "open" AI... while the elites and wealthy get access to the secret version behind the scenes to control the rest of us. It's pretty obvious what's going on
All in good time and good measure
usually open source just results in making the least common denominator the standard... i.e. shit. Theres a reason why open source technology is often taken and improved upon in the private sector. One example could be Kafka being implemented privately via confluent
@@Bobbobson32 I say let's turn the tables and make every aspect of Sam and Sam's life open to the public
ColdFusion thank you for your work! Your video journalism is very educational, these will live forever enlightening generations to come.
Sam Altman is not they guy behind ChatGPT its Ilya Syskevar the cheif scientist, and Elon Musk. Sam is just a manager , the CEO. He is not the visionary behind OpenAI, that visionary is Ilya Syskevar
Altman -"I'm so concerned about the implications of this thing I unleashed on the world without much thought, we need to think carefully about..."
Microsoft - "Here's a big pile of money"
Altman - "Yippee!", runs away very fast.
If OpenAI didn't accept it Microsoft could do it themselves and OpenAI could go down without enough funding. So it was a necessary evil to keep OpenAI afloat.
@@fshihab " Microsoft could do it" they did it and failed. why do u think tthey went to openai...
@@brb4903 Exactly, Microsoft and for that matter most big tech companies have consistently failed to turn their billions into products other than the ones they got big with to start with.
This is not (just) about money, for a company like OpenAI there would not be any shortage of investors. Microscoft happened to have the best cloud infrastructure for running these kinds of models and they offered a lot of compute power that most other companies cannot do.
@@brb4903 alternate scenario : after open ai declined Microsoft's investment, open ai went bankrupt, their AI research team was hired by Microsoft, they released Microsoft ChatGPT. And now they are monopolizing market of ai.
It's poetic that the dude who opened this Pandora's box has a last name that means Alternate-Man.
👌🏽
and he is a tiny hat, who are historically known for trying to destroy western civilisation
Same with Sam(uncle) Bankman(" ")-Fried(Freed)
Now start integrating other languages, esp that of old, and you will learn 'some' tools to seeing the world for what it really is.
The rabbit-hole is deep...
I think Altman means "old man" in german.
@@yeetdeets Like in "ancient alien)?
We also can't just focus on the positives. Not in this case. You should do an episode on the history, current status, and possibility of the alignment problem. Would love to see the fruits of your level of research on that topic.
You can't really do any genealogy on him. My comment was deleted for hate speech on another video because I pointed something about him he said he was in a interview. The amount of information about him is scarce. If there is nothing remotely fishy about 3 brothers being giants in the tech world, I will eat my shirt. They even already have a venture investiment fund.
Sam Altman is not they guy behind ChatGPT its Ilya Syskevar the cheif scientist, and Elon Musk. Sam is just a manager , the CEO. He is not the visionary behind OpenAI, that visionary is Ilya Syskevar
Why what are the negatives? AI becoming too powerful and betraying us?
What a mess we'll leave our children lol
Elon Musk is the latest billionaire to be subpoenaed in the Jeffrey Epstein Virgin Islands case. Health Impact News.
@@tubeyou6794 Sam is the guy behind the company and Ilya is the guy behind the tech. Ilya is by far the person with the best handle on how this stuff works. He is the most worth listening to. Andrej Karpathy maybe also.
Another great analysis. I really enjoy the vibe of your downtempo ambient grooves. Thanks for the work 🙏
I love how you don't introduce Peter Thiel.
I watched this one after your Oppenheimer episode. Now, I can’t stop thinking: these two have too much in common.
Thanks for choosing these topics and putting them together so precisely. One of my favorite channels on youtube
Oppenheimer wasn’t constantly shopping around for investors and monetizing his work. Altman isn’t a tragic figure. He’s become an opportunist and getting rich off of it.

Dagogo, your Coldfusion videos are excellent high quality analysis of a series of wide ranging and fascinating topics. I always look forward to your latest one. I can honestly say ColdFusion is my favourite TH-cam channel by a country mile. Keep it up!
This guy has my eternal gratitude for helping me in my online exams, writing mails, making reports, the list goes on.
Your wife appreciates his contributions as well 😂
the whole video was written by Bard
What?! Devam's wife is cheating on me?
Or you could have just done what so many others have done and done it the normal way.
be especially grateful for the AI researchers actually developing this tech
I'm more concerned that AI will only be available to the elite more than I fear some rogue AI attacking humanity.
Bloomberg Terminals are a great example. They cost $25k per terminal per year and give an unbelievable advantage to those who can afford it. The same could, and probably will, happen w/ AI.
In reality, we all are just here for the ride now.
Open source models are already here, water u talking about
@@luciman9268 but can open source beat the quality of corporate funding?
@@TESkyrimizer well, I don't know if it counts as an example, but Blender is an industry-standard 3D modeling and animation program that is open source and has better support than some proprietary software.
Yeah thats the real danger. All this fearmongering about s superAI is just a distrsction from the more immediate snd real threat.
@@thefidgetspinnerofdoom AI training is like burning cash. You can train a small scale AI at home, but it wouldn't have the same general use.
Sam Altman appears to be capitalizing on borrowed technology. OpenAI, under his leadership, adopted Google's technology while projecting an image of being an open-source organization. However, they later transitioned to a private entity for profit, subsequently selling ChatGPT to Microsoft, a key competitor of Google in the search engine space.
Another fantastic video, Dagogo! Thanks for keeping us informed!
Your AI videos are the best out there! Please continue to update us so that we all may have a better idea of what’s happening.
Great,informative video as always keep up the great work!
What should have been included in the video:
Roger Charles Altman - Is the dad of Sam Altman, he is "an American investment banker, the founder and senior chairman of Evercore, and a former Democratic politician". No wander Sam was one of the first people in the world to have access to a computer.
Have you heard the joke:
X was a visionary down on his luck, he only had an idea/dream ... and a family member ready to borrow the first million 😂
One of the most important comments here and something all the dreamy eye tech nerds ready to replace their Elon hero with a new one should read carefully and follow up on.
He's also one of the chosen people, so other chosen people in the industry help him much more enthusiastically than they would've helped anyone else
@foodconnoisseur9321 Of corse there isn't, and that detail is strangely missing from all the sources I can find, but a whole lot of circumstances line up.
Lend not borrow
@@1800imawake it's incredible how so many people believe in these tech "idols" so readily. They scoff at people admiring celebrities and then they go "ooh, another 'brilliant' tech saint" after getting conned by their previous tech idol.
How did Altman fail to establish his first company? He exited for $43 million, that is a huge success!
maybe Dagogo compare it to the success of OpenAI
This is a great example of how stupid the world is. Dude built a company that sucked but still walked with 40 m's. Wonder who footed the bill for that shit investment?
I agree. How can a company flop and still exit with 43 mil? Maybe selling the customerbase or something. Perhaps someone more knowledgble here knows.
@@EvskinA company can have many valuable resources, it's IP, Brand, Workforce, etc. Not sure what was their biggest value though, there must be some kind of evaluation report
A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
He seems like the kind of guy that would do anything for power
Everything about how Sam Altman presents himself and the things he says just gives me sociopath vibes. Especially when he talks about how he doesn't know what potential disastrous effects AI could have, while still plowing forward with no checks and balances.
@@willingparticipant regulate oposition. Hes now at the top and wants to stay at the top
He will be autistic.
@Willing Participant so hes stifling competition so he doesnt have to innovate anymore. Hes opened the door and now hes trying to set up his bouncers. so much for "open"
Bunch of bullshit takes in this thread. Attempting to corner a market with a capped profit company is fucking stupid. He's legitimately voicing his fears on some of the potential downsides of this technology. That's actually fairly transparent compared to say energy companies of yesteryear. They'd preach bald faced lies to the public while having data to back up the inverse of their public conclusion
@@lucaskp16 I'm well aware, that's what so scummy about it. I get it, I really do but its never sat right with me. Get to the top then stifle competition by outright buying it or killing it.
Good video, but a comment in illustrations around 14:00 in: your editor showed the wrong neural network diagrams, a feedforward (or "multilayer perceptron") model and a convolutional neural network, which are the two models preceding the transformer architecture and had the data-scaling issues
I was looking for this comment 😊. Unfortunately I don't think any of the audience really cares about it.
awesome video, thank you for the quality
This has become my favorite channel on TH-cam. Great job team!
It's bizarre to me that OpenAI can go nonprofit, benefit from that nonprofit status, and then turn around and become for-profit and privately enrich people after it received status and tax benefits that both built trust in it while also receiving tax breaks.
It clearly didn't happen like that, stop spreading bs on internet.
@@randomuser5237 How did it happen?
@@randomuser5237 Watch the video before you type. 14:46
you clearly didn't watch the whole video
Both for profit and non profit party exists at OAI with the non profit party having the final say on matters including dissolution of the for profit part when needed.
There is always someone above or behind such popularity of power.
Just wanted to say I appreciate the fact that you do the sponsor in the beginning of the video and don’t spring it on me somewhere random in the video 🤣🙌
I look forward to your videos. Thanks for the great concepts and research as well as production.
Cheers to you for all the great content you create for us.
Thanks for the high quality content, Your videos never fail to inspire me🤘
Another amazing video by Dagogo !
Excellent as always; thank you again.
“A frightening temper but that’s only when he’s crossed”

That's like most of us tho
@@user-ov2fc5sd1e you must not be a very good person if you only act decent when people are watching
The content on this channel keeps on getting better and better!
You mean worse and worse. Look at the video title and watch the video again and ask whether he stayed on topic. He didn't. More filler.
You just leveled up brotha. Great work
Another very insightful video. Thank you for your insight and research...
All the people who developed AI who now are saying it’s society’s problem to monitor it are like tobacco manufacturers telling everyone “we warned you you could die”
Except tobacco co's did everything possible to not say they knew they would kill you. The governments had to step in and mandate that. This is more akin to a grifter being ceo of a company that was most likely running out of money hence all its big billionaire investors like elon left in 2018 and decided the best way to get money to keep it going was to release it to the public and hype the hell out of it. Remember Sam is vulture, he is only after money.
But it is true.
Vehicle companies sell metal death machines, it is up to society to monitor and use properly. Computers can be used for all sorts of bad, guns, knives, anything sharp. Food, especially unhealthy food. It is up to society and the person to use tools properly and responsibly
AI is/used to be something of general interest in society. It was supposed to benefit humanity. Now, that humanity has started developing plans on possible AGIs, it's pretty much unpreventable. It's up to the Government's and other international organizations to regulate AI equally for everyone. It's not up to society. It's up to the Government's. And that's a huge difference. Society can't monitor anything really. Government's can monitor.
I am not saying you are wrong, AI developers should definitely think about the consequences of what might happen with their technology. But in general I would say it is the job of society, or more specific, the government, to monitor problems with this technology and to put in regulation about what is allowed and what is not.
You would not trust/simply tell food manufacturers to only put stuff into their food that is safe to eat because even if 99% of them do not put in any harmful substances, the remaining 1% are the issue. That is why there are government agencies that monitor and regulate food safety. Similar thing with AI, even if almost all AI companies agree to not develop harmful AI programs, there will always be a few people that do not care about anything except money and companies that just somehow want to gain advantage in the market without caring about the morals. Just think about all the fake news floating around the internet even today and how much money there is in that, or catfishing and other stuff on social media, would it not be great if you could automate that with a bot that can do it to 1000 people at once? Thats why you need society and the government to step in and regulate AI and cannot just leave it to the developers.
A creature from the 'supreme tribe' that we aren't supposed to notice or criticize...
Great video production. I'm speaking at a conference in Berlin this September on how AI will affect the driving experience. I was caught off guard when they chose ME to moderate a group of engineers since my expertise is the exact opposite...and they know this well since I've already spoken at two of their conferences before.
I optimize the Human-Machine Interface, and robot arms' End Effector-Parts Interfaces.
BUT, the more I thought about it, the more I realized how appropriate it was to have an old-school guy heading up the discussion about the future...why? Because, left unchecked...it can be VERY dangerous.
By far coldfusion is my favorite channel on youtube
"Sam is extremely good at becoming powerful." = Silicon Valley lingo for PSYCHOPATH.
Very smart - going with the flow and never defensive….. with great power comes ego - interesting to follow his evolution.
His ego is about power. That’s the greatest problem I see.
Wait, a whole 10 minutes before the Terminator footage comes?! :-D Thanks for another fantastic video. Love your channel, keep up the great work.
Sam Altman's comeback story is pure power move! Fired by the board, then reinstated within a week, taking charge like a boss
Yes, your last point is there. The fact he is hiding it behind closed source means we can’t see what they are doing and we can’t have more eyes on it. Also how do we know Ai won’t just go around the safety walls. Also way too much credit on his prophecy, a lot of people say a lot of stuff and when something does happen they claim they knew all along. Like oh ya I predicted this horrible event, no you didn’t.
global pandemic wasn't a hard prediction to make tons of people were saying it's coming
Yes, because an open source GPT-4 is definitely what we want China and russia to have access to.
4:31 I'm missing the click old phones made when opened
Love your work Dagogo. Nice to see you using Scott Buckley's music but I note he is not credited.
Dagogo - you deserve each and every of the 4.5 Mio listeners to and members of your channel. You are amazing!!!
There is a bit of hypocrisy in Altman saying that AI needs regulations in the US congress while at the same time he threatens to disable ChatGPT for EU citizens if EU doesn't back off from the ones they've created (mainly related to GDPR and not even AI regulations)
People like Altman became rich and powerful by innovating in a field that was unregulated; it's how they grew their startups to success. Once in the catbird seat, they call for regulations on their industry not for the sake of safeguarding the public from any excesses, but to implement a regulatory burden that will prevent other startups in the same field from attaining a similar degree of success, thus maintaining for themselves a de facto monopoly of that field. And, yes, they primarily want regulations that don't overly burden their own already established businesses.
If preventing AI technology from becoming centralised in a single company, eg Google, and thereby a threat to humanity, as Sam had feared when he was younger, what could he have done differently to keep OpenAI relevant/competitive after Elon stopped financing? It's a serious question, as I don't know enough about the history and options at the time.
Excellent, thank you Dagogos 👏🏼
You're the best bro... cheers for the video mate 😎 👌
Wait, his name is "Altman"? That's not suspicious at all...
"Hi, I'm the creator of next-gen AI. My name is... Hugh... Man."
"Hugh Man? Now that's a name I can trust!"
reminds me of that quote "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
your opening instrumentals for nostalgia dreams is preety cool, you should upload it to your music channel I bet its awesome for studying as all your tracks are :)
Great video, just one correction - Google launched Latitude in 2009, which let users share locations with their family and friends. This was an implimentation of a technology of a company they bought in 2005 called Dodgeball.
I miss physical keyboards on phones so much! I think my favorite phone design was my first, Droid 2 global. The screen slid up to reveal a physical keyboard. I wish a major phone manufacturer would make another phone similar to that design
Agreed! a modern full-touch screen that also slide up to reveal a thin hidden keyboard would be amazing
Yeah, I despise modern touch interfaces. Having said that, half the problem is really the shitty software and user interface design, not just the physical hardware.
You can just connect a compact bluetooth keyboard to your smartphone when you need to type a longer text and don't have access to a computer. Or use the dictation function instead of typing...
The most valuable thing Sam Altman has done by opening up public access to GPT 3 & then 4 is to make people aware of where AI is now and how quickly it is advancing.
I don't think his motivation was altruistic. If you're using GPT3 or 4, you're helping train the model. You're feeding it even more data. THAT is the whole point about opening it up.
@@anthonymoloney3671And? Does intent matter if the outcome is inherently good? ChatGPT has given immense value to my personal and professional life. Almost priceless value.
What is the epic track playing at the end during the conclusion? I want to download it and play it at my leisure. I love it
Ty for all the amazing content 😁 please more on A.I.
You just gotta love Dagogos voice!
i want to hear dagogo screaming at his unpaid fiver editors in his video voice. I guess we can get an ai to replicate his voice.a
The guy who gonna bring all sorts of chaos with AI
What is that tool that changes the direction of an element in an image at 20:00?
You are amazing … to say the least. I am so grateful!!! THANK YOU!!
He's one of the chosen people, so he'll eventually be caught up doing bad things, they all do
Thanks for the documentary! Sam Altman and OpenAI have definitely stirred the pot. Is Sam a hero or a villain? Well, it's like trying to figure out if Siri is secretly plotting world domination. Only time will reveal the twist ending, but until then, let's buckle up and enjoy this wild AI adventure!
Please add the semafor article to the description of the video. Not saying it's copyright infringement or anything, just giving people a reference would be cool and fair.
What's the song/music starting at 13:25 ? Anyone know? Can't find it in the mentioned playlist in the description
This video is gonna blow up today
It's crazy how this man in a matter of months became the nightmare of every Google executive who thought their empire was untouchable.
i find It's kind of ironic that they started OpenAI because they were "scared" of what the Google Brain team could and would do, and now they're the ones who have the "F it, we have nothing to lose, and they have everything to lose" mentality.
@@ElclarkKuhuit’s human nature and power… apple Macintosh commercial 1984… apple is now the scary IBM
Thank you Dagogo.
Erratum: Mac SE's couldn't connect to the internet...you couldn't use AOL instant messenger on it for certain. The SE came out around 1985, more than ten years before AOL IM became available.
Right now, with the current GPT architecture there's no risk of an AI that goes rogue.
However, ONCE the architecture will be changed (which it will)... with a huge context memory... trouble will begin.
True. Not many people are aware that we are far off General AI, these language models as amazing as they appear are simply compiling speech patterns. They are not “thinking” in the traditional sense. Like you say, once the architecture and approach changes, then the threat can go from zero to hundred very quickly.
I would argue that it isn't even correct to call what we have now as Generative AI. It's imitative AI. It copies what is available on the internet. Some of the AI art it created even had the GettyImages watermark in the picture. While humans can create new things, the AI we have now just uses the information available on the internet.
@@avarmauk even more so, this is apparent when we ask an AI (chatGPT for example) a question where it answers wrong, and it already "knows" its wrong because the first tokens led it to a "bad start", but as it is only predicting the next token, it continued down that wrong path, which it is unable to change. And then when we ask it to correct itself, it does so (it starts with a "right" set of tokens). The whole GPT architecture of "thinking" in tokens is inherently limited by its very nature.
The architecture is also very bad at keeping context, it was limited to only 2k tokens, now some models have 8k tokens, while recently gpt4 got about 30k tokens. while the new mosaic model got 65k plus. this is all rapidly changing, but GPT was revolutionary by showing that AI is actually possible at all, and now when companies see that AI is "real" they are all pouring endless amounts of money on it. So a new architecture will most likely come sooner than later.
Sam Altman is not they guy behind ChatGPT its Ilya Syskevar the cheif scientist, and Elon Musk. Sam is just a manager , the CEO. He is not the visionary behind OpenAI, that visionary is Ilya Syskevar
@@Sanguen666 I agree. We have begun an AI arms race since AI has such great commercial value. This is just the beginning, in just a few years we are likely to see new AI several orders of magnitude greater than what chatgpt can currently do. I believe the likelihood of taking the “responsible” path now is slim to none. Whilst I am excited by AI, I can’t help but think an ominous future is likely at some point
You, as well as others, consistently talk about new technologies and how they will be used to make the world a more dangerous place. Nobody ever thinks about trying to figure out why some individuals are motivated to use technology to harm people. We should all focus on solving that problem, first and foremost. We solve that, and then people are not going to use technology irresponsibly.
This!
People harm others inadvertently all the time
"why some individuals are motivated to use technology to harm people" - well it is very convenient for one. The real question is what motivates people to harm people
Otherwise, they wouldn't get that many views. So they talk about the negative side.
Looking forward to the video pertaining to the next phase of Altman’s career.
Anyone know the piano music that is playing during the "Growing Influence" segment @7:45 ?
Sam Altman seems like the type of guy who'd be knocking on your door, pulling out his Bible, then reading the Scriptures out loud. I didn't mean to offend, but he's kinda giving off that vibe.
I think we need to stop saying that AI is replacing jobs "nobody wants to do" and then talk about creative jobs where people are super passionate about doing their jobs.
Awesome material! I'd love to see a material like this dedicated to Wojciech Zaremba as well.
Thanks! Great content! 🙏🏼
What I find fascinating is the lack of awareness humans still have about their own evil capabilities. We always look to blame something for demise in behavior or actions of hate, Is not AI or the tech you have to worry about but those who have access to it and as they gather power will most likely change for the worse. So is not the tech that we need to regulate and keep an eye but the humans controlling it and shaping it.
Chatgpt is not an AGI ai - it is nothing more than a fancy search tool. It can't think, it just takes information that is already out there and pieces it together (extremely well) for you when you give it proper prompts. It has no creativity, no thinking, nothing. While there are a ton of companies out there working on real AGI's - it is a part of progress but as per usual society is way behind the speed of technology and it causes a lot of problems. UBI will not be a solution and will not work - it goes against human nature and no one would bother working - ie: we got a taste of what that would look like with the us giving out money to everyone and it wasn't pretty.
@@corail53 Once, AGI is brought to this world at some point in the future, and UBI is not working as intended.
The societical upheavel will be gargantuan, the world instantly turns upside-down, and all of history will be changed forever.
Sam or no Sam. Someone else would take this route.
You can't stop technological developments (advancement is not the correct word)
Nicely done and in great detail.
This was a special episode to me… the technology I can find on multiple channels but the why not so much. Thanks
Isaac Asimov, a legend of SciFi.
I'll drop this prior to watching:
Sam is a very clear example of a Sociopath. And I suspect he would test well into Psychopathy.
This is the obvious worst case scenario. Everything he does next is about closing the moat, that Caesar might have all the power.
Open source has never had more riding on it. If we lose this fight, humans will own humans for the next thousand years.
Yea? What about after watching? Baseless claims are about as pointless as complaining about the economy.
