I don't have any qualms around taking names out of titles.

And yet here we are discussing an article with Sam Altman's name in the title, as is rather often the case on the topic of UBI, and you essentially arguing that this is a good thing.

I suspect we'd be discussing this article even if Sam Altman's name wasn't in the title.

EDIT: Also, I wouldn't say that it's necessarily a good thing that we're discussing this. Moreso, my point is that the value of a piece of writing isn't completely disconnected from who wrote it, nor should it be.
