Even people close to Altman find it difficult to know where his “hope for humanity” ends and his ambition begins. His greatest strength has always been his ability to convince disparate groups that what he wants and what they need are one and the same. He made use of a unique historical juncture, when the public was wary of tech-industry hype and most of the researchers capable of building A.G.I. were terrified of bringing it into existence. Altman responded with a move that no other pitchman had perfected: he used apocalyptic rhetoric to explain how A.G.I. could destroy us all—and why, therefore, he should be the one to build it. Maybe this was a premeditated masterstroke. Maybe he was fumbling for an advantage. Either way, it worked.

Reminds me of a series from a creator I follow on YouTube. The creator is Alex Falcone and the series is titled "Is it a scam? Yep." Pronounced without the pause between the question and answer.

Every time I see an interview with him all I can think is "This is Dark Triad personality incarnate." So to answer the headline's question: No I absolutely don't believe we can trust him.

That happened a few times, and is mentioned in the article.

I was waiting for this.
"Can he be trusted?"
NO.
In fact, Bugs Bunny No
