How is Altman worse than sbf
SBF's peak was a few years ago. This year all he's done is show during his trial how deluded these techbros/EAs can actually be. At least SBF had the common courtesy to remove himself from public life within 5 years. Style points for the life-in-prison ending, while simultaneously killing mainstream crypto.
We're stuck with Altman for the foreseeable future, and now with a recently purged OpenAI board that will let him continue the industry-wide commercialization of copyright infringement (but only of the laypersons' IP. Better not ask it to draw Mickey Mouse, though).
It's also really unclear where OpenAI lies on the EA/Longtermist/E Acc pipeline. Altman is likely letting whackos have some pretty serious power.
Altman is also into crypto, so it's a double whammy
SBF funded a lot of the whackos that created the situation at OpenAI.
I hope you don't expect any help if you ever get ripped off. Some of them were poor as hell, show some compassion and respect.
