“He Lied to Me on Various Occasions”, Geoffrey Irving2023-11-20 (; backlinks)⁠:

My prior is strongly against Sam Altman after working for him for two years at OpenAI:

  1. He was always nice to me.

  2. He lied to me on various occasions

  3. He was deceptive, manipulative, and worse to others, including my close friends (again, only nice to me, for reasons)

The “always nice to me” part puts me in a weird situation: most of the negative stuff I know about happened to others, and even when he lied to me it was about other people to try to drive wedges.

So it feels rough for me to unilaterally share it.
