alt Hacker NewsIt’s wild to write something like “I have experience with Sam Altman-like behavior” and expect us to come along for a 5+ paragraph ride that actually has no Sam Altman connection at all except the one you imagine is true.
Talk to your therapist about your problems. Don’t project them on people you don’t know and seemingly have no actual first-hand experience with.
I'm sorry that it wasn't clear. I didn't mean to imply that I was going to connect to Sam Altman. I specifically wanted to address why it wasn't the case that people were “intellectually beaten” by Sam Altman.
> except the one you imagine is true
I'm not sure what you mean. I told about an example of manipulation that I witnessed. I later learned that these were common tactics employed by con-artists, scammers, etc.

I don't need first-hand experience with someone to understand that they are a manipulator. I am comfortable forming my opinion based on reports.
