alice @aliceisplaying — 13h this ones goes hard [Embedded chat screenshot, light mode:] [User:] can you express this in your own words? --- dear sam altman, [AI response:] 6 years ago i bougt a used mazda for 4200 dollers. it was the frist car i ever ownd with my own money. i drove it to my dads funeral in 2021. i drove my wife home from the hospital in it when our son was born. its not a nice car. the AC breaks evry summer. last month the transmission went. the mechanic sayd 3100 dollers to fix, or i can sell it for parts. i dont have 3100 dollers. i work at a warehous and i make 19 dollers an hour and my wife is in nursing scool. heres my question. you and the other AI people say that in 5 or 10 years there will be so much abundence that nobody will need to work. that AI will cure disease and make evrything cheep and easy. i want to belive it. but i cant get to work next week. i cant fix my transmission. the abundence is not here for me right now. so my question is, when the abundence comes, will it come for peple like me? or will it come for peple who alredy have things? becouse every time somthing new comes there is always peple who get it frist and peple who get it last and i have alwas been the peple who get it last. i am not angry at you. i just want to no if you are talking about me when you say evrything will be better. or if you are talking about somone else. sincerly, a warehous worker in ohio

Sam Altman ✓ [ChatGPT/OpenAI badge] @sama I remembered a lot of this, but here is a part I had forgotten: "Elon said he wanted to accumulate $80B for a self-sustaining city on Mars, and that he needed and deserved majority equity. He said that he needed full control since he'd been burned by not having it in the past, and when we discussed succession he surprised us by talking about his children controlling AGI." I appreciate people saying what they want and think it enables people to resolve things (or not). But Elon saying he wants the above is important context for Greg trying to figure out what he wants. 1:20 PM · Jan 16, 2026 · 995.1K Views
