By "Sam Altman said" in a "series of posts", this article means these two tweets from 10 hours ago: https://twitter.com/sama/status/1876104580070813976.
This is a screenshot of a tweet talking about an article written about two tweets by Sam Altman. Is this really the world we're living in, now?
Yeah, and I think you're pretending it's more ridiculous than it is
Brainfart happens online, blogging douches run to their laptops and hype up the drivel, and yep the person saying that's dumb is the idiot here.
That sure is a lot of hate without much content . And no, I called no one an idiot
Want to describe how petty lords with no accountability controlling society is somehow a good thing?
Want to describe how barely legible bubbling anger babble does anything?
Sounds pretty condescending to me.
Welcome to the wonderful XXI century where our innovations in communication technology and financial instruments allow a hyperoptimised economy where two tweets are more than enough to cause billion-dollar shifts on the market. Completely organic and based on solid fundamentals I am assured by the same people that assured me of this in 2000 and 2008.
Just because it's a Twitter post doesn't undermine that he said it.

I've seen more written on one post. People will eat up 'news' if presented in the right way. There is a reason the stupid websites and advertisers use the click-bait titles.
