No, Sam Altman, AI Won’t Solve All of Humanity’s Problems


The OpenAI CEO’s recent mini-manifesto argues (again) that AI will make the future impossibly bright. He could use a refresher course on the basics of human behavior.

We’re getting this big AI bonus because “deep learning works,” as he said in an interview later in the week, mocking those who said that programs like OpenAI’s GPT4o were simply stupid engines delivering the next token in a queue. Working-class people and even some on public assistance have dishwashers, TVs with giant screens, iPhones, and delivery services that bring pumpkin lattes and pet food to their doors. Altman might have had a great experience at Burning Man, but some kind souls of the Playa seem to be up in arms about a proposal, affecting only people worth over $100 million, to tax some of their unrealized capital gains.
