Sam Altman, the recently fired (and rehired) chief executive of Open AI, was asked earlier this year by his fellow tech billionaire Patrick Collison what he thought of the risks of synthetic biology. ‘I would like to not have another synthetic pathogen cause a global pandemic. I think we can all agree that wasn’t a great experience,’ he replied. ‘Wasn’t that bad compared to what it could have been, but I’m surprised there has not been more global coordination and I think we should have more of that.’

Sammyboi isn’t going to give you a hug or a handshake for helping his image
Those kinds of comments are also so weird, because the remark was that he has money and a doomsday bunker. Like how do you ignore half that sentence? It wasn’t even long.
Of course in reality it doesn’t seem Sam has a bunker, it is worse. he actually makes fun of the people with money who have bunkers, I hope Atheartengineer is consistent and also tells Sam his comments are fucked, and that Sam is inconsiderate for making fun of those poor people with money. ;)
(The latter part of the comment was just me going ‘wait does he even have a doomsday bunker’ it comes from my curiosity and attempts at being funny not some deep seated fight against hypocrisy)

The whole bunker/bunkerlikes thing is one of the more evil things the megarich have done. And imho it also points to some very dark futures which causes me to have some feelings re the future which I try not to talk about online (as I don’t think negativity is productive, and I it is very likely they (and via that me too) are wrong, they are idiots after all). But yeah they are not even trying!
