I find that hilarious because I actually feel the opposite way.

We have ignored the impact of what we do far, far too long. Forums like this facilitate this false dichotomy. Society IS tech. To believe otherwise is stupid.

But I have found a mantra: if our conversation is in any way getting into whether somebody is good or bad? I am no longer a positive influence on society.

This failed my test. It has nothing to do with Sam Altman. If you want to talk about X person good or bad, go the hell else. I have actual work to do.

If society is tech, then people are society. Leadership should be scrutinized more than anyone else in the industry, they are ultimately responsible for setting the direction of the industry in our unfortunately corporate dominated tech sector. Flagging discussion about them because you think it's simply gossip is not helpful. If you don't like a conversation then don't participate in it.
