A brief history of Sam Altman’s hype
Sam Altman, a prominent figure in Silicon Valley, has played a significant role in shaping the hype around large language models (LLMs) and AI. His influence in framing the potential of AI as either humanistic or catastrophic has driven the current AI boom. Altman's vision for a techno-utopian future has been a driving force behind the need for more capital and regulation in the AI space. While OpenAI has made strides in AI development, Altman's focus has always been on a philosophical tomorrow rather than the current capabilities of technology.
