    So what Sam Altman is suggesting the part of socialism that makes people fear it (extreme utilitarianism run by falliable if not biased leaders) without the part that makes people support it (a more equitable distribution of wealth that makes sure everyone’s needs are met and the removal of an influential class that perpetuates undesirable and unnecessary conditions for their own personal gain.)

          They got the shit leadership, but not the utilitarianism.

          Tell that to the jobless who are being evicted from their rented homes.

            But utilitarianism suggests that it is at least in service to some sort of valued utility. It’s just stupid bullshit and corruption.

              Yeah, the utility is in increasing the wealth of the rich at the expense of the poor.

              It’s just stupid bullshit and corruption.

              Yes, increasing the wealth of the rich at the expense of the poor is stupid corruption.

        It is NOT Utilitarian. It does not try to help and serve the majority with well allocated resources, only allows businesses to have large scale production.

          That’s utilitarian. Its just utilitarian in very different ways for different classes. It ultimately provides help and resources to the Epstein class.
