Sam Altman has got to the point where he doesn't even bother to describe stuff anymore. "Uhh yeah sometime you'll have a thingy that will do stuff. And wow will it be good!"

Good Lord, talk about the dumbing down of humanity
-
I assume he’s talking about AGI? I think he’s basically an IQ suppremecist who thinks being smart is all that matters. Honestly I would rather everyone have a device in their pocket to help them be more patient and kind.
-
Because we wouldn't want anyone to think now would we.
-
He’s talking about his orb, isn’t he
-
Selling the dream. It’s all they can do
-
Ed, basically you saying you need stuff spelled out for yea.
-
Guessing by the company Sam keeps it's not outside the realm of possibility that the lying machine will be smarter than the smartest person he knows
-
"soon" ... 🙄
-
But today, it tells you to put Elmer's glue on pizza.
-
Pop that fucking bubble already so I never have to see these tech bros again.
-
The thing is Sam many of us don't have that many things that require the smartest man ever.
-
my phone can already do chess better than any human, what else do i need?
-
Something something AI. Something something complete.
-
Not in my pocket it won't!
-
What he's describing literally already exists
-
Less biased people such as global risk and geopolitical analysts who don't own or have majority stakes in AI companies probably have a more sober or nuanced analysis/forecast.

Plot twist: Hes talking about a remote controlled sex toy.

I see we’ve entered the Gabbo style stage of marketing…
-
Somebody should cross reference the verbosity and comprehensiveness of his tweets with the results of that MIT AI study. See if there's a correlation.
-
An actual headline in my city newspaper today was "AI will provide a 200 billion dollar boost to the economy but you'll lose your job"
-
Reading this I picture him snorting a ton of blow and screaming say hello to my little friend
-
I already have a .jpeg of a waifu, Sam, my imagination can do the rest tyvm
-
I'll have a me plus in my pocket? Nah, I think it'll just be happiness

His faux Miyazaki avatar was cringe when it was a meme and has compounded in cringe now.
A bit like OpenAI
-
He might have to actually deliver on a promise more specific. He knows that people are throwing money at rumors of potential future success.
-
He actually posted almost the exact same things a few months back, but in an angry tone.
-
Tbf the average AI-powered pen is probably smarter than a half dozen MAGA combined. And more moral as well.
-
And of course uses the terrible pseudo-Ghibli avatar while posting this.
-
Gonna call Sam and all other appropriate people a "sloptimist" from now on.
-
Some day soon, something smarter than the smartest person Sam Altman knows will advise you on how to cook a frittata, and draw you a picture of what Jesus would look like if he was Bugs Bunny.
-
Stop stealing the all lowercase posting. That is for women and friends of the LGBTQ+ community
-
he doesn't think it will be smarter than him, he thinks he's being slick. this guy is a moron who learned the npr voice like a bene gesserit or something
-
Sam Altman is a snake oil salesman of 21st century
-
And will this prevent the dumbest person in the world from destroying our country?
-
The Tiny Genius Elf
-
Tweeting this to inflate my stock (good system)
-
Your phone is already smarter than the world smartest human
...at maths and maps and remembering events and chess and a bunch of other stuff
-
Unrelated to this but I just noticed Altman's username "sama" and am now wondering if this is intended as both simply firstname-initial and a self-aggrandizing reference to the Japanese honorific indicating a very important person: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanes...
Japanese honorifics - Wikipedia
-
I think he’s reached Musk levels of talking complete nonsense, detached from any reality.
-
"Smarter" is such a useless measurement for that kind of thing, too. About many things, computers have been more capable than humans for a long time--mathematics, following instructions, storing and accessing data, etc. But they're not going to be capable of agency or independence anytime soon.
-
I already have a wife, Sam.
-
No mention of if “it” also happens to be a compulsive liar, and/or asshole
-
"And that thing, which again is smarter than the smartest person ever, will have nothing better to do but ride around in your pocket and order you Jimmy John's, maintain your relationship with your children, and conduct all your meetings for you while you stare vacantly into space."
-
Smartness is also quantifiable and able to be performed by computers now, despite all evidence to the contrary.
-
Also obviously… that is not a remarkable, but horrifying idea
-
i thought this was the dropout guy and got confused as hell for a second
-
Someday a voice on the radio will make you hate communism. You're welcome!

😭
-
Just spent 2 hours trying to have my paid version of his product create a basic bar graph, just to test out it's capabilities. Never even came close but kept telling me it followed my instructions.
Will be fun, if he is right, though, when he realizes our only choice is to overthrow these oligarchs
-
future is when thing happen!
-
Why would I want something "smarter than the smartest person I know" keeping track of everything I do?
-
Finally, the greatest intelligence ever conceived will help me pay more for airline tickets
-
Hooray, they're trying to reinvent slavery
-
we've had smartphones for nearing 2 decades Sam
-
Interesting to see the AI dumbing these people down in real time.
-

-
To fair to him, "smarter than the smartest person he knows" could mean he's just paying a team to construct a box of rocks.
-
He talks like a child, and interestingly, so do so most of his griftbrotechscum.
It's not a coincidence.
"The Mindset"; the idea that they need to "reset" the world- these men are not bright enough to know what they don't know- and not articulate enough to fool the people who actually *are *bright
-
I wish I could away with being that stupid all the time and still somehow make money
-
Dunno about you but the smartest person I know would have the good sense not to be trapped in a device in my pocket answering my dumb fucking questions 🤣
-
By his logic, cars should be able to drive like a million miles an hour by now. After all, tech just gets better! There are no limits!
-
To be fair, he doesn't know very many smart people, so it probably seems like a low bar to reach.
-
Ah to be so intoxicated by the scent of your own farts.
-
The fatal flaw: what I want is “not having an electric lying machine ruining every facet of my daily existence”
-
Money. Stuff. Thingy. More money. Easy!
-
Sam Altman seems to have hired the same social media manager as Darrell Issa
It’s the dogshit cadence poster
-
Smarter than him, anyway, which is a low bar.
-
Dangum AI
-
That’s classic stoner rant.
-
He really hired Jonny Ive to invent the iPhone, like it's still 2007.
Imagine, the whole of digitized human knowledge at your fingertips. Imagine, a camera in your pocket. Imagine, translating to and from any language. Imagine, instant text, video or voice communication with anyone in the world.
-
Read the fifth paragraph for all the things that the magical assistant can do for the summoner. Same vibe as Altman.

Dumb ass Trump sounding ass post.
-
The easiest way to achieve "smarter than the smartest person you know" is making everyone dumber. That part of the plan is coming along nicely!
-
One question is, how often do you consult "the smartest person you know"? Do you call them or text them with every concern and query? Do you ask them to do your job for you? Do you have them summarize your emails? Probably not. Why then would you engage a gadget for those things?
-
You should reconsider this post. Perhaps one day the cool thing will be figuring out how to grind Sam Altman up into a fine paste. Humanity is not going to want to miss that breakthrough.
-
I already can text and call my wife from my phone so really this doesn't offer anything new for me.
-
Things that do things
-
Like his friend Elon, with all the marvellous things he will develop for all us, to make our future spectacular as long as it's not woke of course
-
Could be worse, could be another Musk or Zuck
-
Cognitive decline is a terrible thing to observe
-
-
They just released their oss models which I guess are in line with this isea of an entire model running locally on your hardware, but unfortunately that competes with mature AI/ML models we've had for almost a decade and have actual domain knowledge. At least it's Apache 2.0?
-
the idea that the smartest person you know is just a guy who remembers everything and not, you know, someone with actual insight capable of creating new thought
-
“Wot if ya mum ran on batteries” ass tweet.
-
I already have mathsand in my pocket. I don't want sam altman to make it act like a dumb racist, thanks.
-
The second scientists are able to invent magic all our lives will be fixed forever.
-
It's actually Ratatouille-like rats in our hats. Sam just doesn't want to give it away.
-
Can the thing it helps with be more substantive writing?

Interesting how often Altman fantasizes about his company's product in very grandiose self-serving ways.
e.g. "I wonder if the future looks something more like universal basic compute than universal basic income"

Altman’s fantasy of a GPT-centric world
-
I’m guessing the smartest person Sam Altman knows is a) not himself and b) still not very smart
-
If it's that smart, I'd expect it to delete itself from the phone as soon as it's activated.
-
-
Well, if the smartest person you know is the likes of Altman or Musk... I fully believe something in your pocket is capable of being smarter than that.
Not a high bar to clear.
-
We know it is remarkable because he is making a remark about it.
-
Outsourced his AI hype to a chatbot
-
In Sam’s case a handkerchief would fulfil that role.
-
This is exactly what happens to the brain of a person who only uses chatGPT for writing everything
-
getting high on his own supply
-
Everything this guy says sucks, but the fake Ghibli profile pic is the cherry on top for me. Dude is a grifter to his core
-
He sounds stoned
-
At some point will an AI be able to fix the lack of capital letters at the start of Sam’s sentences?
-
Someday soon a guy who lies to you more than your pathological liar uncle will be in your pocket and can lie to you about everything.
And I think this is a very remarkable thing.
-
I want to kick him in the balls with my big heavy boots
-
look, sam altman is actually right. see it's a self referential you that sam is using, meaning smartest person sam knows, and sam thinks that smartest person is sam. This only requires that in the next few years sam gets his hands on:
-
So good, Ed, SO GOOD. You don't even know! Wow!
-
This is like the how every sports interview sounds to a non sports viewer but he actually really doesn’t say anything lmao
-
This is quite literally how Elon Musk talked about robotaxi.
-
Well, I had Google in my pocket, but then they turned it into shit.
-
Are they all fucking stoned?
-
Isn't this just Reddit
-
-
offloaded too much of his thinking capacity to his shitty ai bot
-
someday soon a sociopathic non-entity will be running on a device in your pocket and tell you every beautiful lie you ever wanted to hear
-
page out of Elon’s book. dream sells
-
"this is a very remarkable thing"
"is"?
Sam, you haven't created it - what are you doing claiming this "is" a remarkable thing? Clown can't even write in the correct tense, and we're meant to believe this guy is our century's answer to Leonardo?
-
Wait if he makes us all much stupider this statement could be technically true sooner rather than later.
-
Maybe smarter than the smartest person Altman knows. I have no doubt he hangs with a bunch of similarly smooth-brained techdouches. An LLM really might give some of those guys a run for their money.
-
Sad to see what AI does to the human mind.
-
Achieving things using your own imagination and limited resources can still be surprisingly satisfying.
-
Does he own a shift key?
-
He was really counting on "burning all the money will generate a way out of this corner I'm painting myself into."
-
i wasnt sure who this is, so i checked on google and the 1st question there was about his IQ! XD it's 170! you just don't understand cause he's too smart! 👀
-
vibe marketing
-
It's down the stack
-
This is WeWork level philosophizing.
-
How do you make a device thats smarter than people? Chatgpt never had any kind of human intelligence. Recalling stuff that it hoovers up doesn't make it smart
What a lying bellend
-
Can’t wait for AI to help me insert a catheter. I’m sure it’s going to be super helpful.
-
We used to have that already, it was called Google when it fucking WORKED

Wow Sam Altman described a phone.
-
This techbro grift hype tweet was brought to you by ChatGPT.
-
-
Where does he find the time to do this AND walk away from the Democratic Party?
-
I would like to place him in a SeaWorld exhibit with several dolphins that have felonies on their records
-
sniff-sniff... is that desperation I smell, Sammy boy?
-
Hey man, I remember getting high for the first time too. Don't knock a guy for experimenting.
-
A bunch of PhD brains grafted together in my pocket with the ability to roast every philosopher ever…
But can they see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch? 🤔
Also, more like oversized lobotomized, chained, thirsty silicon brains mostly owned by corpos and haunted by digital ghosts.
-
SoftBank gave him $25M for that tweet.
-
If what Sam says comes true, the devices in our pockets will be running the world & we will be doing what they want. Fortunately he is an idiot.
-
Why change a working strategy?
His target market will hit all the emotional beats in their head, hypnotizing themselves.
-
For perspective, Altman thinks he is smarter than the smartest person you know.
-
He means smarter than the smartest person he knows. It's a low bar to clear.
-
Sometimes the smartest people say the dumbest things
-
"someday soon"
riiiiiiight
-
"how do I build a nuclear reactor on the moon?"
-
He is describing a regular search engine
-
Big if true!
-
I already have something in my pocket that is smarter than Sam Altman.
A used tissue.
-
Maybe that's the Silicon Valley version of "a concept of a plan"?
-
Wow. A pocket nerd. Every phone would get dunked in the toilet
-
Are you sure that's no a parody account? That sounds like something straight out of The Onion.
-
I don't think Sam knows a lot of smart people.
-
Man his brain is cooked.
The intelligence rot of AI is real
-
Get that borrower out of my pocket!!
-
The wealthy have been doing a really good job of disproving they're a meritocracy these last few decades.
-
Elizabeth Holmes already tried this
-
Seriously thought this was parody upon first reading that garbage.
-
"Thankyou for your attention to this matter" He's speaking Trump without the caps lock.
-
How high is this jerk all the time because GOOD LORD
-
"this is a very remarkable thing." Is sending me. Truly unprecedented levels of cope
-
wait he has an AI Ghibli pfp for real?
-
Steve Jobs: Here's a thing People: We like the thing Sam Altman: Here's a terrible thing that can't remember how many fingers you have but if we make it a lot bigger somehow maybe we will magic it into curing cancer People: If you do not revere the coming thing, we will kick you.
-
Well, he had his product write the tweet for him, with predicable results.
-
The smartest person I know would not hesitate to tell me I am full of shit and need to go figure my life out before proceeding with a stupid idea. Wake me when my phone does the same.
-
Except the human carrying such thing won’t know what it wants. Humans depending on AI lose their sentience.
-
Someday soon something will happen, and when it does oh boy will it be phenomenal. As in, it will be an event that happened
-
He knows the intelligence level of his main userbase
-
Someday there will be something in your pocket, that tells you something remarkable, but you will be too ignorant to be able to realize if it's true or not.
FTFY Sam!
-
Will AI also help Silicon Valley CEOs with proper capitalization in their tweets?
-
They never explain why we should give them our trust
The smartest person I know ruined my hardwood floor
-
Ed, do you think there's a version of LLMs that could exist in the future without the huge negative side effects? Something that could be used as accessibility tools without draining every ounce of water in California?
-
Congrats on inventing smartphones Sam
-
Him when he’s confronted with details:
-
the way these freaks undermine the concept of 'intelligence' is gross. it is literally going to make us all dumber/less capable of critical thinking.
-
What if ‘what I want to do’ involves Sam Altman being tarred and feathered? Did you think of THAT, Sammy?
-
