Pretty big difference between getting fired and getting jail time, ain't it?

Still, I doubt anyone is getting fired over this. And the document was not written by an oligarch, lol.



> And the document was not written by an oligarch, lol.

No, only about one, in order to pump up his career, and AIUI signed by him. "lol hahaha"


I replied to a comment about normal people being fired over mistakes like these.

Who is supposedly at risk of being fired if not the person who wrote the document?

Should Altman fire himself or what are you talking about?


Furthermore:

The one who stands to benefit from the lie. In the case of the ordinary Joe that is of course one and the same; he can't afford to hire someone to delegate his CV faking to. But just because the bigshots can offload “trivial” tasks like that onto someone else doesn't make the moral responsibility anyone else's than their own.

Suggesting the one who should be fired is the office slave who actually typed the hype is

1) As absurd as Joe Schmoe claiming it isn't he, but the pen he signed his faked CV with that should be fired; and

2) A sign of a wholly non-functional moral compass.


It's not a lie, it's a trivial mistake done by whoever was drafting the document.

Yes, I'm sure any board would fire their CEO for this if only he wasn't an oligarch. /s


> It's not a lie, it's a trivial mistake done by whoever was drafting the document.

Yeah, let's see the regular Joe Schmoe get away with how he didn't lie on his CV, it was just “a trivial mistake done by whoever was drafting the document.”


> Should Altman fire himself

He probably won't, so someone else should do it for him.

(Ideally, someone who seems so shady should of course never have ended up in such positions of power in the first place.)
