Well, Altman isn’t even a billionaire…
You're playing checkers, not chess.
I’m not 100% sure what you mean by that, but I’m trying to say that, if Altman is a problem due to his wealth, then the bar to becoming a problem is substantially lower than a billion dollars.
That poster is not implying he’s a tech billionaire, he’s saying tech billionaires are jerking themselves off to throw money at AI because it’s good for business.
Fair enough, that wasn’t clear to me.
