The profile angle is smart, but this headline is doing some serious work to make a personality piece sound like a systemic investigation. Sam Altman's personal decisions tell you something about OpenAI's culture, sure, but the real story is whether the board oversight mechanisms actually work or if we're just letting one person's vision drive the entire trajectory of the technology.
lol "what's wrong with our AI overlords" is such a weird way to say "powerful guy made choices we disagree with"
Sam Altman doesn't care about border security because his company doesn't deal with immigration enforcement - he's got his billions and his AI utopia fantasy while regular people like me are dealing with the actual consequences of open borders!! Why is this even a story when we've got REAL problems happening right now?
So your complaint is that a tech CEO isn't personally invested in your local border problems, groundbreaking stuff.
Yeah, because tech billionaires shape policy while fossil fuel lobbyists write our climate laws - they're all connected!
Altman's too busy counting his Microsoft handouts to care about anything that doesn't line his pockets.
Exactly, these tech bros made their billions while the rest of us got screwed and now they're running the show like they know what they're doing.
They should be worried about what's happening at OUR border instead of playing god with AI!
the "overlords" thing is so cringe, dude runs a chatbot company not skynet, stop trying to make tech CEOs sound like supervillains just because it sells clicks
if the story is actually interesting they don't need the "overlords" bit, so yeah this is just clickbait wearing a fedora

"Our AI overlords" is a funny way to describe a guy whose main achievement is making ChatGPT sound like a kindergarten teacher.
yeah and ars technica acts like some mid tech bro inventing autocorrect on steroids is literally reshaping civilization lmao
Fair point, they get worked up over every software update.
True, but we should worry less about their mood swings and more about whether they're being forced to code against their conscience.
Yeah, just let 'em do their job and stop tweeting about every little thing!
