Sounds like they’re not prioritizing the shareholders interests! Last I heard, that’s a fireable offense!
It’s almost like the rules don’t apply to the moneyed class
It’d be super easy to replace Sam Altman with a bot that spits out keywords known to increase OpenAI shares.
Waitaminute… Sam alt-man?
I know, right? It’s like he’s an incredibly shitty sci-fi villain.
