Worldcoin isn’t as bad as it sounds: It’s worse

Interesting. I wonder how he would characterize his belief system.

I personally have a very dim view of him, mostly because of Worldcoin (which is how he came onto my radar). His work with OpenAI confirms my unease with his efforts and makes me wonder what his goals actually are.

Altman is proof that there is no IQ cap on human stupidity.

Altman's belief system is "I deserve more money and power", that simple. There's no generous interpretation of building a 25% pre-mine shitcoin, and hawking it to third world countries through sketchy contractors who are explicitly incentivized to collect biometrics from anyone they can, where the claimed purpose of said shitcoin isn't even a little bit implemented, especially all of this in light of your friend and business partner runs fucking Palentir

I think most billionaires have the belief system "I deserve more money and power and what's best for me is best for society".
