> he seems to have a lot more humility than most

Sorry, are you talking about the same Sam Altman who wrote about "life advice" when he turned 30? https://blog.samaltman.com/the-days-are-long-but-the-decades...

Or the Sam Altman who tells us:

- How to invest in Startups https://blog.samaltman.com/how-to-invest-in-startups

- How to be successful https://blog.samaltman.com/how-to-be-successful

- etc.

Sam Altman is a PG wannabe, but without the actual insights and experience

I mean, yeah. That post says “life advice” but it reads more like “things I fucked up in my twenties.”

I like his life advice. Do you have any issues with any specific advice or just his age at the time it was written ?

You want to go in the right direction, age is irrelevant. Think more about what you want to be doing. Being ageist is not what you want to be doing.

I think too many people are looking to other people for advice.

Most need to find their answers from within.

Advice by definition is from outside. What does it matter where the answers come from as long as they pass a sanity test from within.
