Do you see the irony of calling someone a blowhard just because you don't agree with their opinion? You're literally engaging in the exact same behavior you're attempting to call him out over.

Let’s be honest: both the original post and this rebuttal are basically long form tweets, not intellectually convincing arguments. They are so vague that you can read almost whatever you want into them

The rebuttal is literally "long form tweets" ( https://twitter.com/anildash/status/941431220952584196 ). Sam's post is presumably something he edited and had people check over before he posted it. That's not to negate your essential argument, but the two pieces do have different origins.

I'll concede the rebuttal is literally a long form tweet.

Sorry to be pedantic, this reply hadn't appeared when I posted my response yet.

Be very careful equating a blogpost with suppression of speech.

> "conversation suppressing"

it's literally that. if you live in the Bay Area, and find that you can express countervailing opinions without encountering blowhardism, then I challenge you to make the case (in public) that nazi-punching is a bad idea.

I live in the bay area and I have heard many people debate these issues without issue.

To be honest I'm wondering if Sam Altman just needs to expand his social and professional circle a bit and get out of his own bubble. There's 7.5 million people in the bay area, and it's a joke to think they are all alike.

You're asking the wrong person to make an argument sympathetic for nazis.

not equates. connects.
