Sam Altman: Guys, we’re in the Singularity now

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community

Sam Altman is in the singularity, in that he is now convinced LLMs are smarter than him, he doesn't understand the tech or how it is evolving, and he doesn't know what's going to happen next.
The rest of us are not in his exact predicament. I was going to say we're fine, but nah.
I'm reminded of a quote that used to always come up when I was studying cryptography. Bruce Schneier would always remind people that it's easy to design an encryption scheme that you can't break. But it's hard to design an encryption scheme that nobody else can break, either.
It is a good reminder that there needs to be a degree of intellectual humility by those who want to design big systems that affect the whole world.
