A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Right? I know Sam Altman sucks but I don't know if he was fired for more profit or less, or what exactly is going on. I'm not sure how to react to these articles besides surprise and bemusement.
Why does he suck? I know nothing about him.
Crypto bro, wants to scan everybody's eyes with AI, has this weird startup that puts eye scanners in orbs and places them around the world where people are curious and stare into them having their eyes scanned.
He's just a weird dude in general.
Just because I were curious enough to check this out, from Wikipedia:
Does it also mention that he basically deployed it exclusively in the third world, in places that the regulations were/are lax?
I think you got it backwards. The scanning was available everywhere, including the US... where the lack of privacy regulations allowed him to siphon biometric data without giving any crypto in exchange.
He isn't a "crypto bro", he's a guy who hyped the danger of AI in order to get as much biometric data as possible, everywhere.
