Sam Altman says ChatGPT is only 6 months away from knowing everything about your life, and it wasn’t the win he wanted it to be
For now, people love bragging about how they use ChatGPT. They can find recipes, vacation suggestions, workout routines. It’s just the best.
That’s about to take a dark turn, and ChatGPT’s founder is essentially bragging about it.
Sam Altman has the self-awareness of a cucumber. Which probably explains his need to go on stage in public and boast about how his invention is only half a year away from creepily knowing every single detail about every one of its users.
Here’s Altman talking about his creation like a nefarious villain in a futuristic sci-fi thriller:
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman:
“in the next 6 months, we’re close to a world where a descendant of ChatGPT can watch your screen, record every meeting and call, and have perfect context of your whole life”

He’s a lonely pathethic man and he wants everyone to be lonely and pathethic with him so he can feel superior. I rebuke and reject everything he wants for society and implore more to do the same. https://t.co/b7R5D3gj6l

useful to who? “perfect context” sounds a lot like perfect surveillance with better branding

He keeps saying the most horrible, scary, evil shit and our governments still invest in AI centres like they got a gun to their heads

Not controlling these sociopaths is really another “social dilemma” moment we are going to miss, and it will kick us hard.
