Dear Sam Altman: All Coherent and Fruitful Thought Is Restricted

I'm not sure why this post is getting such criticism.

The entire argument made here basically reduces to the concept "if everyone around you is telling you you're an asshole, the most probable conclusion is that you're an asshole" but in a more diplomatic way.

Which, having read the original post in question, seems a reasonable response.

It’s getting such criticism because people would rather debate the topic, instead of calling someone an asshole (no matter how diplomatic).

You know... The entire point of Sam’s piece.

... so basically argumentum ad populum. Galileo should’ve just shut up

Come now, it wasn't the "populum" that wanted Galileo to shut up, it was the "Pope-ulum".
