Imagine waking up one day and admitting to the world that you are that goddamned fucking useless of a human being? Mind boggling.

oh dude, my brother and sister in law have this story they like to tell about me where they abandoned their three year old child at a park because they expected me to be there. they never contacted me about watching or caring for their kid, i just busked there every other thursday. i had a doctor's appointment so i wasn't there. the way they tell it, i'm the villain (their neighbor found their child wandering around the park and brought them home. apparently i'm at fault for being 30 miles away the entire time) but, uh, they really like the story.
my brother does not know why his circle of friends keeps shrinking.
Your brother and sister in law sound like they were made for each other, both insane.
You have to understand that like 50% of the American population are even more useless than him.
I wonder why all the tech bros are completely off their rockers.
Drugs
Lack of empathy, born with golden spoons in their mouths
I don't. I'm sure of it.
Power does things to people
So does an insular community
I mean it's fair enough. It's not like anyone has ever done it before. There is literally no information available about this uniquely modern process.
plus it's such a horrendously complex thing that you definitely can't largely figure out on your own
hey my infant keeps leaking this foul smelling brown stuff, what's going on??? if only i had access to AI so i could figure this out..

You know what? I believe him.
ChatGPT prompt : “How do you make arrangements to have a live in nanny to take care of your child?”
"Those first few weeks it was constantly," he says of his tendency to consult ChatGPT on childcare.
Dude, I wouldn't trust ChatGPT for plant care 😂
Why would you admit you're a complete moron like that?
Because other complete morons will now buy the product?

Is he admitting ignorance to something that literally tens of billions of people have done, including people who can't read and never knew what a computer was, or even how to make fire? This is the guy who we should trust with making an "artificial intelligence"?
To be fair, programmers don't make great dads, it's rather hard to program your kid

wow, getting desperate with the marketing over there.

Sam Altman at this point is a parody of a human being, one that failed upwards in spectacular fashion. I can't wait to see the postmortem of why AI failed, and this weird advert for AI to be cited. ROFL
This guy's kid is going to be so fucked up
If he literally knew nothing and was worried for his child he could have hired a well paid live-in nursemaid and forgotten about the money it cost the next half hour.
Instead he used his child as an experiment.
“Hey dad, are you proud of me?”
“I’m proud of the value you created for me and the shareholders.”
Holy shit we are definitely living in a satire simulation running as a VR experience for people living in a less funny but just as brutal reality.
Like holy shit you can't write this shit, this has got to have people at The Onion quaking in their papery and layered exteriors.
It just goes to show. Financial success doesn't equal a good person (or parent, in this case)
Pretty sure it's an inverse correlation or maybe a bell curve with some outliers on either end.
so he's an idiot, got it
then why even have a baby? the joy of caring for that child--of experiencing fatherhood--is a big reason for having babies.
not taking steps to learn how to be a father is like buying a hog and slapping training wheels on it. you're never going to get to really enjoy that ride.
Altman reminds of all those robot Zuckerberg memes.
Put that child in a foster home before he abuses it even more.
what a fucking useless human.
I vote we start calling me Elon Jr.
Is that a man or is that a cockroach in a human suit ?
A lot of people read books and or websites when having a kid. Not all people are taught parenting correctly by family
He's a bit hyperbolic because this is an advertisement message, but it does not make him a bad human or parent.
Stop reacting only with emotion. Use reason too. Then apply emotion with loving kindness. Become better. ❤️🩹
ChatGPT has historically been proven wrong time and time again. Reason has already been applied.
Sam Altman: "My baby won't stop crying, what can I do?"
ChatGPT: "Have you tried violently shaking it?"
Sam Altman: "My baby feels cold, what can I do to warm them?"
ChatGPT: "I see that you have a baby that feels cold and you want to warm them. In my instruction I assume, your house has a kitchen with either gas or electricity suplied..."
Did you turn it off and on again?
I turned it off but now it won’t turn on again.
I tried plugging it in. What now?

It is difficult to maintain polite discourse and validate people's feelings of discomfort. Thank you.

I'm not empathetic with psychos like him, especially when he's not seeking therapy and wants to destroy the world instead.

Reacting emotionally to serial liars seems fair to me. Sam Altman can fuck off

I can't think of a single thing I would trust chat gpt with, especially when it come to my kids.
I'm trying to rationalize what you could even ask it that's not a single Google search away with a forum or blog post written by (hopefully) human fucking beans who have gone through the same thing you're experiencing and figured it out.
For every parenting question you have there's 100 different answers, at least 20 of them are reasonable, pick one of those 20 and figure it out.
While writing this I tried something. Chat gpt told me a 4 month old needs around 14 ounces of milk in a day if their breast feeding. Which is about half the actual number. I think the recommendation is ~25 /day, my kid drinks ~30. If I gave him 14 a day I think he'd learn how to walk just to kill me.

So he fired the Nanny in favor if chat GPT?
We have mistaken rationality for a philosophy rather than a methodology, and efficiency for a virtue without any particular end in mind.
To have a unique, personal, subjective, divergent human experience is to sin against your prescribed algorithm.
naw - he jus said thad the chatgpt has helpd him do stff.... or like - u kno - answr the "is dis norml" kindsa questions.
so lik - yea... id also use the intrnt n the llm for dis. yea-
