Altman on Being 'Sufficient'

12/28/2025

 
Believable? 

Mark Zuckerberg has Olympian-level competition in apologizing to the world for dead kids. Enter Sam Altman. There isn't ever a real apology from Sam when users go mentally haywire using ChatGPT. How do you apologize for a machine?

"our models are starting to present some real problems..."

Sam Altman is upping the game by hiring for 'Head of Preparedness' with a $555k salary. This dude will have his hands full; that is, with subjective harmful lawsuits from parents revealing no oversight on their teen's AI addiction. Missing, I believe, from the job description is a "preparedness" expectation for him to be in a courtroom to defend OpenAI's framework.

OpenAI updated Preparedness Framework:
We’re now adding more detail about how we’ll design strong safeguards and verify their effectiveness in dedicated Safeguards Reports

Our own intelligence 101 enables us to see Mark and Sam don't care about anything but that which AI can do, good or bad. Nothing else even as AI reaches 
People, cultures, jobs, earth resources, education, Federal policies, Universal Basic Income, joblessness, wars, healthcare, cyber, travel, genetics...


..'we are entering a world where we need more nuanced understanding and measurement of how those capabilities could be abused..' Altman

Set In His Ways. Culture Grip

11/16/2024

 
Picture
He's set in his ways - will never buy a car with a big screen to show him what he doesn't need to know.
He's set in his ways - most of his aches and pains need a few aspirin and not his ancestral DNA.
He's set in his ways - he buys good old dog food for Spike and the word "science" means nothing on the bag.
He's set in his ways - a stamp on an envelope and a paper letter to his mother; no texting a loved one.
He's set in his ways - he wants the score, know who is at bat and on deck. He doesn't need 20 stats from analytics about each player.
He's set in his ways - He sees what he's always seen - a man or a woman, nothing in-between.
He's set in his ways - his home appliances have knobs and no digital overload of information about his laundry or frozen meatballs in the frig.
He's set in his ways - He fought in a foreign land for his country and for American values long before the borders came to mean nothing. 
He's set in his ways - one day he'll leave behind photo albums of his life with families. They'll look in iCloud and he won't be there.

I love AM radio. Very set in my ways.

The American Medical Association: "Problematics"

The AMA drastically altered its most enduring guide to patient relations in late 2021. The document they published is titled,  
Advancing Health Equity: A Guide to Language, Narrative and Concepts (ama-assn.org)
Something got into the blood stream of management at the American Medical Association, headquartered in Chicago. They released a manifest-styled document in November 2021 for all their constituents that was so Critical Race Theory that they even used the term on their websites. What's the goal?  To tear down dominant narratives in physician professions: racism - the narratives belonging to the privileged which must be searched for, disrupted and corrected according to CRT.
​
Dominant narratives in the AMA document refer to the way a doctor talks to a patient. Dominant narratives can be, in Critical Race Theory, oppressions, harmful language, racism, systemic injustice in the healthcare community, systemic power over minorities, to name a few “problematics.” 
Why does this matter to you, as a professional, a student just out of med school, a career person with established credentials? It’s simply an ideology with a determined goal to tear down systems of knowledge production that we accept as common good, provide freedom, advance knowledge through sciences and elevate liberal and objective truth.
