@robertwiblin Threads like this usually mix facts with speculation. The tech industry has seen similar narratives around most transformational founders. Time tends to be the best filter.

Huge repository of information about OpenAI and Altman just dropped — 'The OpenAI Files'. There's so much crazy shit in there. Here's what Claude highlighted to me: 1. Altman listed himself as Y Combinator chairman in SEC filings for years — a total fabrication (?!): "To smooth his exit [from YC], Altman proposed he move from president to chairman. He pre-emptively published a blog post on the firm's website announcing the change. But the firm's partnership had never agreed, and the announcement was later scrubbed from the post." "...Despite the retraction, Altman continued falsely listing himself as chairman in SEC filings for years, despite never actually holding the position." (WTAF.) 2. OpenAI's profit cap was quietly changed to increase 20% annually — at that rate it would exceed $100 trillion in 40 years. The change was not disclosed and OpenAI continued to take credit for its capped-profit structure without acknowledging the modification. 3. Despite claiming to Congress he has "no equity in OpenAI," Altman held indirect stakes through Sequoia and Y Combinator funds. 4. Altman owns 7.5% of Reddit — when Reddit announced its OpenAI partnership, Altman's net worth jumped $50 million. Altman invested in Rain AI, then OpenAI signed a letter of intent to buy $51 million of chips from them. 5. Rumours suggest Altman may receive a 7% stake worth ~$20 billion in the restructured company. 5. OpenAI had a major security breach in 2023 where a hacker stole AI technology details but didn't report it for over a year. OpenAI fired Leopold Aschenbrenner explicitly because he shared security concerns with the board. 6. Altman denied knowing about equity clawback provisions that threatened departing employees' millions in vested equity if the ever criticised OpenAI. But Vox found he personally signed the documents authorizing them in April 2023. These restrictive NDAs even prohibited employees from acknowledging their existence. 7. Senior employees at Altman's first startup Loopt twice tried to get the board to fire him for "deceptive and chaotic behavior". 9. OpenAI's leading researcher Ilya Sutskever told the board: "I don't think Sam is the guy who should have the finger on the button for AGI". Sutskever provided the board a self-destructing PDF with Slack screenshots documenting "dozens of examples of lying or other toxic behavior. 10. Mira Murati (CTO) said: "I don't feel comfortable about Sam leading us to AGI" 11. The Amodei siblings described Altman's management tactics as "gaslighting" and "psychological abuse". 12. At least 5 other OpenAI executives gave the board similar negative feedback about Altman. 13. Altman owned the OpenAI Startup Fund personally but didn't disclose this to the board for years. Altman demanded to be informed whenever board members spoke to employees, limiting oversight. 14. Altman told board members that other board members wanted someone removed when it was "absolutely false". An independent review after Altman's firing found "many instances" of him "saying different things to different people" 15. OpenAI required employees to waive their federal right to whistleblower compensation. Former employees filed SEC complaints alleging OpenAI illegally prevented them from reporting to regulators. 16. While publicly supporting AI regulation, OpenAI simultaneously lobbied to weaken the EU AI Act. By 2025, Altman completely reversed his stance, calling the government approval he once advocated "disastrous" and OpenAI now supports federal preemption of all state AI safety laws even before any federal regulation exists. Obviously this is only a fraction of what's in the apparently 10,000 words on the site. Link below if you'd like to look over. (I've skipped over the issues with OpenAI's restructure which I've written about before already, but in a way that's really the bigger issue.)

@roderix1966 Hahahahbab

Que saudade da época que HH com os bros tinha 3 assuntos: mulher, carro e relógio! Hj fico boiando

@TheChiefNerd Intelligence always requires energy — biological or artificial. The real question is whether AI’s net impact on efficiency outweighs its cost. That’s the debate worth having.

🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”

@roderix1966 @jonesmanoel_PE Hahahahahah

@GooseFut @roderix1966 Eu andei e amei. Espetacular.

@pscmendes @roderix1966 Unico full size Sedan que eu gostei mais do que MSP foi o Porsche Panamera Hybrid, por causa do interior. Mas o luxo de nao frequentar gas station supera isso, e o arranque do MSP e simplesmente ridiculo. Ja testou o Model 3 Performance? Surpreendentemente divertido

Já tive Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar. Estou encantado com o Toyota Vovorolla hibrido que comprei! Um fofo, pau pra toda obra sem reclamar.

@GooseFut @roderix1966 Isso! Já andou no MSP? Tenho um 2023. Absurdo de carro. Sou viciado nos teslas

@pscmendes @roderix1966 8k e pode transferrir pra um novo Tesla no futuro... ou 7 anos pagando subscription. Dificil decidir mesmo. em 7 anos possivel que todos Teslas sejam FSD

@GooseFut @roderix1966 Subscription. Nao acho que comprar se pague

@pscmendes @roderix1966 Testei todos carros do mercado quando trabalhei na CarMax e a Cybertruck foi um dos melhores de todos e eu acho muito bonita. Parabens. Voce comprou FSD ou subscription?

@anaincerti @roderix1966 Demais né! As rodas traseiras fazendo curva junto com as dianteiras. Musk é um ET

Passei 7 dias com uma Cyberbeast mes passado na Florida com o fsd14.2. Cara, o que foi aquilo? Que carro é esse? O fsd por si só ja é uma experiência a parte - particularmente usei a maior parte do tempo a versão mad max🤣. Mas o volante e a capacidade dele de trabalhar todas as rodas pra fazer curva? Quando voltei pro meu carro no Br parecia que o volante tinha "folga". E a aceleração dela? Cada vez que acelerava abria um sorriso automaticamente no rosto!

Never. God wasn’t the one I lost hope in — He was the only reason I kept going. When everything else was falling apart, faith gave me stability. Not because the pain disappeared… But because I knew the pain had a purpose. Our time here is brief. And every challenge shapes us for something greater. Sometimes we don’t understand it in the moment. But growth rarely feels comfortable. Faith doesn’t remove the storm. It gives you the strength to walk through it.

@pscmendes @DearS_o_n @Wealth_Pill Encouraging but did u feel you loosing hope in God as well??

@Ganzas12 @DearS_o_n @Wealth_Pill I don’t think you “win” life. You win days. You win battles. You win over yourself. Life isn’t a trophy. It’s a process. Some seasons you’re up. Some seasons you rebuild. What matters is not quitting on yourself. Keep moving. That’s the only real win.

@pscmendes @DearS_o_n @Wealth_Pill Your life change to good. Can you say you win life?

@m_nobodie @DearS_o_n @Wealth_Pill Avoid social media

@pscmendes @DearS_o_n @Wealth_Pill Im currently at my lowest but I’m satisfied with this comment I’ll stand rn and go for a walk to feel better Thanks for the advice big man 😘😘

@vvcabral @JHdaFonseca Miami? Desconheço isso.

@JHdaFonseca NYC e Miami está impossível andar. O cheiro de maconha é insuportável, inclusive dentro dos teatros da Broadway. Eu fiquei chocada.

### URGENTE: EDITORIAL DO NEW YORK TIMES DIZ QUE “CHEGOU A HORA DE A AMÉRICA ADMITIR QUE TEM UM PROBLEMA COM A MACONHA”. The Wise sempre disse que maconha não era uma droga inofensiva e que, em breve, as democracias ocidentais voltariam atrás nas liberações. ESQUIZOFRENIA!!!

@YourPrimePath Great post. I would add "First Restart in Life" and also "Losing your mother"

Peak male life experiences; 1. First heartbreak 2. First great sex 3. Watching someone you helped hit a big win 4. Ending imposter syndrome 5. Finally understanding your Father 6. Owning your first car 7. Owning your first real estate property 8. Someone calling you “sir” and realizing they mean it with respect 9. Fixing something with your hands that once intimidated you 10. Sitting in silence after a major win, realizing you don’t need to prove anything anymore 11. A younger man seeking your advice and recognizing yourself in him. 12. Accepting the man in the mirror 13. Randomly realizing this is the woman you will marry 14. Becoming successful with your childhood friends 15. Sports team winning a title 16. Watching your kid grow 17. Giving back to your parents What else would you add?

@elonmusk @StefanFSchubert When you’re building systems that may influence billions of people, tone is not trivial. It signals judgment.

@StefanFSchubert You’re such a pathetic wanker

Any sane person would rather entrust Amanda with the future than Musk

@roderix1966 @logmdias Nao poderia concordar mais. Cuido de family offices para Americas. Contratação de pessoas para as operações. Nunca vi um aumento tão grande na procura por vagas nessas operações. Muita oportunidade pra gente boa que queira crescer

Sabe que se eu fosse recém formado hj em dia iria buscar estágio em multi family offices! Estão gigantes e entendem de tudo. Sou muito chegado no pessoal da Carpa do Celso. E o Ian meu ex chefe está lá! Se abrir vaga de estágio posto aqui! @logmdias
