These comments have gone beyond Reddit levels and reached Facebook insanity levels.

This is not an argument or a rebuttal, and I don't think you're really understanding what I'm saying.

I'm not saying altman is actually a murderer or that AI is even bad for society as a whole.

I'm saying that what he is saying is directly threatening to a lot of people, and it should be obvious that some of those people will lash out.

Something being good for society can still be bad for you. If you're someone who altman is bragging about making redundant, then you might be mad at altman. It's very simple reasoning.

I simply don't understand how somebody able to enjoy modern comforts precisely because of innovations resulting in job eliminations will suddenly draw the line when AI might risk some jobs.

I never said that I'm drawing the line anywhere - I'm merely saying that Altman bragging about it is a REAL and OBVIOUS threat to the people he's trying to replace.

Whether that's good societally is a different question. Is it good FOR THOSE PEOPLE from their perspective? Of course it's not, and that should be painfully obvious to everyone here.

So then, why are we playing stupid and acting surprised when Altman is in danger? Everyone should have saw this coming.
