I know Sam Altman is revered as a tech god in this forum and and I will likely get downvoted, but there's something deep within his character that doesn't seem genuine or sit well with me. It's almost a tinge of elizabeth holmes (the aspirational part) and likely stems from his desire from a young age to emulate a bill gates, elon musk, or the cohort of silicon valley VC and founders that came before him. I believe this deeply drives his speech and motivation. He pulls certain levers that he knows will shape his persona and plays the tech visionary role. As an outsider, it seems manufactured and disingenuous.
