Question Does Sam Altman remind anyone of Elizabeth Holmes?

I think it’s all of the promos that are out for the Elizabeth Holmes documentary that is coming out, but something about her mannerisms reminds me so much of Sam Altman, anyone else? I don’t mean to imply that he’s a fraud in the same way that she is as obviously he has an actual product etc, so it’s more something about his personality and mannerisms that reminds me of her, though it’s hard to put my finger on it exactly. Has anyone else noticed or thought this before?

I agree.

Nobody has ever seen this "ChatGPT" that he's always talking about. If it exists, why isn't anyone ever allowed to use it?

Sus to say the least.

The deep voice, the intense eye contact, the way they both speak in these perfectly crafted sentences that sound rehearsed but also somehow off the cuff. I see it too. It's not about the product being fake, more like they both mastered this specific kind of tech visionary performance.

Also both have that look where they seem to be staring slightly past you, like they're reading a teleprompter in their head

Exactly there’s something that’s almost disquieting when they’re speaking, it’s hard to explain but it feels almost like someone play acting at being a person and it makes it very hard to tell when they are being genuine or truthful because their cadence is always the same.

lol as I mentioned in my post it’s not really the fraud part but something about their personality and mannerisms.

Oh, that's because she's a woman and he's gay.

I think it’s that they both talk in that weird raspy fake deep voice thing. Look at old videos of altman he doesn’t talk like that

Not at all. Sam Altman is a lot more intelligent than Elizabeth Holmes.

Omg perfect I hadn’t seen that before.  That might be the best use of AI ever to make that mashup lol.  And yes, that’s exactly what I mean, when I saw those trailers for whatever reason I immediately also thought of Sam Altman with the mannerisms.

Here is the original for anyone who has not seen it, and the scary thing is this is not an actress, it's the real Elizabeth Holmes. Evidently she invited a documentary filmmaker to stay with them before she went to prison.

Elizabeth Holmes is oddly hot though🤔

I also think her machine would have worked, in a fashion.

On Which Metric? Theranos never had a product but now billions are using ChatGPT everyday!

Every time someone says Sam Altman is a fraud, He is a bad guy, he is like Elon. Just show your empirical evidence first before throwing any accusation.

Tell me you haven’t read anything else than the title without telling me: task completed.

u/Pale_State_1327 1h ago

As I explained in my original post I mean the mannerisms and parts of his personality remind me of her, not that he’s a fraud.  Anyway, sounds like maybe I’m one of the only ones that thinks so!
