That doesn't matter, they still are the 'clueless' AI doomers vs the 'sociopathic' Altman (doubt much 'losers' work there). (I'm using these terms here specifically like how the insight porn ribbonfarm thing did. And I mean it as a joke, ribbonfarm is part of their insight blog culture, they just don't actually learn much from the things they read).

The sociopaths are the ones who are in it to improve their own career will fuck over and abuse the clueless for their own advancement/enrichment. Losers know it is just a job, a paycheck, they do their job nothing more and go home, have a family, hobbies, touch grass, live a rich full life. There I saved you a novel length of blog posts (im not kidding btw, the ebook (sold on amazon of course) is 171 pages).
