In response to a reply to his post asking about how his Jewish colleagues were doing, Altman said, “i am jewish. i believe that antisemitism is a significant and growing problem in the world, and i see a lot of people in our industry sticking up for me, which i deeply appreciate.”
Altman continued: “i see much less of that for muslims.”
classy reply, ngl
i dont really know enough about altman to have any opinion on him, but i appreciate seeing someone with his platform as a high profile western figure pointing out the disparity in treatment and calling for people to go forwards with empathy for all affected by the mess that is the palestinian and israeli conflict
I would second this. Based on what I’ve read, he seems like a pretty standard megalomaniacal tech billionaire, but when you’re right you’re right. And his take here is right, and I’m grateful for it. Especially coming from a fellow Jew. Our voices in particular are a powerful tool for protecting our Muslim brothers and sisters.
IIRC he mentioned he have guns and gas masks from the IDF.
It is wild to me that someone can receive stuff like that from a foreign military yet get security clearance for an emerging technology.
Does chat shiytyp still say Palestinians right to defend themselves is complicated while for Israel and any other country out there it says that yes, they do have that right?
If so, kindly shut the fuck up Altman
