The king dick of liar mountain is Sam Altman. It's not even a competition and I would know because as a CPA and host of the corporate gossip podcast, I study weird billionaires for a living. And I just finished 60 hours of research on Sam Altman for our most recent podcast episode. And if you use ChatGPT, maybe take a listen. Especially if you're one of those people or you know one of those people who's like, don't trust the government, don't trust what they're telling us when you're using a service produced by America's foremost liar. Andrew Garfield is about to play Sam Altman in a movie and another character calls him one of the most manipulative people on the planet. Belloni added. In the episode we did on Sam Altman, we traced his villain origin story all the way back to his first company, Loopt, which he founded in 2005, as you can tell. Co-founders at the time were disturbed because he was lying about the smallest things. So much so that they asked the board of directors to remove him. Sam Altman then becomes the president of Y Combinator because the founder, Paul Graham, loves him and is kind of like, yeah, he's his daddy figure. Paul Graham, once famously said, Graham reinforced the point again years later, Sam is extremely good at becoming powerful. He lies to Microsoft about the capabilities of OpenAI and ChatGPT, he lies to other executives about how safe the product is. It got so bad that the board of OpenAI had no choice but to fire Sam Altman. However, they botched the mission. We get into all the drama in the episode. Long story short, when you come for the king, you best not miss. Sam Altman was back. All the board members were out. Now the company is trying to grow as fast as possible. They're doing the blood scale strategy. Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow. They're trying to insert it into every part of your life, make you as dependent on it as possible, and then turn up the price to make back their investment. It's the Uber model. But beyond all that, like, I just wouldn't use ChatGPT at all because nobody that works with Sam Altman trusts him. And if they don't trust him, why would you?
