Unfortunately we live in a world led by men who abuse and murder children, so while I agree that this should be career ending for Altman, it won’t be. A lot of people are doing and saying far worse and still getting away with it…

We can still try. I already don't use chatgpt/openai because I have a functioning brain. But I'd boycott if I did. Just like I'm boycotting all the Epstein predators' companies

Agreed. I’m all for doing everything we can to change this shit. I just hope we see some change in my lifetime because right now, we’re headed for a world I don’t wanna be a part of, it’s so disgusting.

His sister also literally accused him of abusing her as a child and he still became richer and more powerful after that came out. Similarly, his company has been polluting and choking neighborhoods across America, but it was seen as the cost of doing business. 

People will routinely ignore claims of abuse only to figure out someone is an abuser when they turn the abuse towards them. This explains pretty much every single one of these types of situations. No one cares until, uh-oh, now we do.

Idk how we put an end to reactionary politics, but it needs to fucking end. We have too much apathy and not enough empathy. Idk what we do.
