Recently, a biographer who wrote a book about Elon Musk claimed that the man has essentially no understanding of human emotion and should, therefore, not be allowed to run a social media platform as he does.

And in the same way, those who know Sam Altman say that he has no compassion or empathy, and truly doesn’t understand how artificial intelligence could negatively affect the human race.

Of course, the vast majority of X users are offering Annie their full support, with comments such as “Seems that no one in the media is that interested in covering this story because they’re afraid of losing access to OpenAI if they write something critical of Sam.”

Sam and Annie’s parents apparently encouraged Sam’s intellectual intelligence but also told the young boy just how “great” he was and many argue that their constant praise led to Sam’s immense ego.
No One Seems to Be Coming for Sam
Although Annie’s accusations are very serious, it doesn’t seem like anyone is actually coming for Sam, and the general consensus is that the billionaire is above the law.

Because Open AI is such an important company in the world of artificial intelligence, no one wants to get on the tech-genius’ bad side.
Not Everyone Is Happy With Open AI
