Sam Altman- The master of talking without saying anything

[shymachines]

Why can't this guy just answer a question directly? The panel needs to press him more to his face, they criticized him so much on past podcasts.

[chlovado]

Sacks’s internal monologue, “I can’t believe I missed a board meeting for this”

[soggybiscuit]

"Can we have a more accurate timeline for gpt5?"
"So... what i would like to think is... bananas is probably a great flavor for pizza..."

[lionkingofthejungle]

I think Sam speaks more to confuse than to clarify

[PhiTonics]

Zero value add.
Sam should go into politics, so many words used, so little said.

[greatestgameonearth]

The more I learn about Sam the more I understand Elon's beef with him lol

[seanwisdom]

I’ll be honest. I don’t watch this for interviews, we prefer you 4 talking through topics. Just honest feedback.

[PeopleAdverts]

Was impressed they got Sam, but this is so painful. Can’t answer a question or look at the camera. Two horrible episodes in a row.

[theclintonlynch]

I’d love more context on Sam as a person, because my gut check on this guy sadly calls bullshit.

Edit: they dropped GPT-4o days later.

[thinklikeaprogrammer]

Chamath called the student protesters "ding dongs" then David Sacks goes onto to defend them. I would have never guessed that happening a couple of years ago.

[origanami]

You could train an AI excuse generator on Sam's responses

[Mauronic]

Sam will talk for an hour and a half and say nothing

[MrRdb]

Sam speaks in generalities because he actually doesn't know what the heck is going on. He's an administrator. He's not slaving away day after day on producing improved AI. Need to talk with the working computer engineers.

[mmoncif]

Fun fact: Sam Altman banned Jason from investing in YC startups because Jason was predatory lol

[QwertyNPC]

I don't believe a single word this guy says.

[elenaantoniou]

Sacks possesses a unique clarity in his perceptions, unafraid to voice his opinions in a diplomatic way that sets him apart from others. A true free speech advocate.

[DomenicT]

No one seems to have asked Sam Altman the most obvious question about his firing: On what specific issue or set of issues did the board decide to fire you over?

[joeb]

Interviews with Altman are so boring, no new information or context with anything and he comes off so self-righteous

[bananakuma]

“It’s important to us…” “it’s our mission to…” Man the more you say it like that the less I believe you
