Altman forced to confront claims at OpenAI trial that he's a prolific liar (arstechnica.com)

Amazing how these are two of the most powerful men currently in existence and they bicker like children.

Is it possible for them both to lose? Because that's what I want and humanity needs.

I feel bad for the judge, jury, and court staff that have to be around these men.

Altman: "See I'm prolific!"

The only part of the entire article which backs that headline is this one sentence, on the line of questioning asking if Altman is aware that people like Sutskever believe him to be a liar,

> Finally, Altman admitted that he had heard that people say that he is a liar, but after that win, Molo’s questioning seemed to lose steam.

I'm not one to defend Altman. I wouldn't piss on him to put out a fire. But this headline is crap.

I thought it was well known in the industry that CEOs are liars as this is exploited in the standard method of leveling the stage at a tech conference: have the keynote speaker rehearse then make adjustments until he has lies coming out of both sides of his mouth.

So crazy how Musk has time to juggle at least 6 companies, and still prefers to be in a courtroom for this

Prolific isn't the right word.

Pathological is.

These people are really delusional.

> “There was something appealing about going to work at Microsoft with [OpenAI President Greg Brockman] on a pure AI research effort,” Altman testified.

How would Altman contribute to a pure AI research effort, he doesn't know anything about AI.
