Musk shouldn’t have won against Ellison. Musk is an uncontrolled trainwreck, sure, but Ellison is a highly controlled and effective lawnmower. He’s just better at not being known.

Very amusing. I still know barely anything about him, but I’m thoroughly convinced.

How is Altman worse than sbf

    I hope you don’t expect any help if you ever get ripped off. Some of them were poor as hell, show some compassion and respect.

    SBF’s peak was a few years ago. This year all he’s done is show during his trial how deluded these techbros/EAs can actually be. At least SBF had the common courtesy to remove himself from public life within 5 years. Style points for the life-in-prison ending, while simultaneously killing mainstream crypto.

    We’re stuck with Altman for the foreseeable future, and now with a recently purged OpenAI board that will let him continue the industry-wide commercialization of copyright infringement (but only of the laypersons’ IP. Better not ask it to draw Mickey Mouse, though).

    It’s also really unclear where OpenAI lies on the EA/Longtermist/E Acc pipeline. Altman is likely letting whackos have some pretty serious power.

    Altman is also into crypto, so it’s a double whammy

    SBF funded a lot of the whackos that created the situation at OpenAI.

    Should David Zaslav really be considered in tech? If WB Discovery is considered a tech company, then the Barbie movie is now (technically) a tech product…

    How do you do, fellow tech workers?

    hemko ,

    All modern movies are kinda tech products. At least in a sense that there’s crazy amount of cutting edge tech involved in making them as well as during the consumption of that media

    It’s all content now unfortunately

    How could anyone but musk win?

    Depends on if we consider Zuccer a person.

    gravitywell ,

    Zuck is bad sure, but he’s not a jackass, at least not publicly, he might not have made the best decision for meta but the company is by no means failing, Elon is just so much worse on every level.

    Not failing, but actively ignoring Metas own research that shows Facebook is directly harmful to children and teens.

    I’d say actively continuing to harm children should outrank being a jackass and/or incompetence.

    At this point it’s like choosing cancer over Alzheimer’s. Die from excruciating inner torment or infuriate everyone else until you die.

    Clbull ,

    I dunno, some of these votes are like comparing stage 4 leukemia to a mere urinary tract infection, and the UTI is somehow winning.

    BilboBargains ,

    Go UTI!

    BreadstickNinja ,

    Peter Thiel is also abysmal. Elon is more visibly terrible today but Thiel has been bankrolling regressives from the shadows for 20 years. He published his first screed about diversity in academia in 1995. So he is an all-time shitstain, for sure.

    How did Nadella lose to Altman? Nadella is the reason Altman is what it is now. The reason open ai is not anymore an independent no profit research team to push open AI solutions.

    He’s the king maker of evil tech. Nadella vs Musk is the only possible final. Whoever voted is insulting one of 2 main contenders. Like CEO of BP losing to a gas pump owner

    MeatsOfRage , (edited )

    It’s almost as if this is the most popular worst tech person. It’s like that year all of Reddit voted EA the worst company in the world. There are companies out there costing people their lives by intentional malfeasance but a company is doing video games dirty is the worst…

    zwaetschgeraeuber ,

    the heck, how did altman get so far? not that hes an angel(by far no), but someone like SBF did way worse imo

    How the hell did Gates get eliminated in the first round??

    EDIT: to people downvoting me, could any of you explain what good Bill Gates has done for the world of software?

    Clbull ,

    Better question: who the fuck is Palmer Luckey?

    Fenrisulfir ,

    Dude invented oculus

    Clbull ,

    Ok but what has he done to earn a nomination as the worst person in tech?

    Being bought out by Facebook doesn’t seem to qualify, especially when Zuckerberg lost in the first round too…

    gravitywell ,

    Well if the title is for just 2023 I think musk has it, if we take overall negative impact in a lifetime then I’m not sure but musk is probably not as bad.
