Sam Altman says taking psychedelics ‘significantly changed’ his mindset

Altman being a druggie would go some way to explaining his utter disconnect from reality and utter lack of moral fibre

Don't do drugs, they'll turn you into Sam Altman and everyone will hate you

Not a sneer, but a pretty solid piece on the slop-nami: Drowning in Slop, by Max Read

And less time than her partner-in-crime, who went out of his way to show a complete lack of remorse and a strong willingness to reoffend, all whilst lying out his ass to basically everyone.

Honestly, SBF's antics probably helped make Ellison look like her role in this was much smaller than it actually was

oh yeah she got two years’ jail for her part in stealing eleven fucking billion with a B dollars

A slap on the wrist compared to Sam Bankman-Fried's twenty-five years. Turns out working with the feds, admitting your guilt and knowing when to fold 'em are pretty important when karma finally catches up with you.

I mean, it’s the same company that didn’t realize that half its traffic was porn, so it’s on brand

Granted, Apple's banhammer forced Tumblr's hand on that front (though Tumblr's complete failure on moderation did give Apple that golden opportunity).

(The whole debacle did lead to Newgrounds getting hit by two separate waves of new users - a minor wave in November after the NSFW purges kicked in, then a major wave in December after the porn ban was officially announced. I have nothing more to add, I think it was pretty funny Tumblr shat the bed that hard)

Mullenweg's the same guy who publicly harassed a random transwoman on Tumblr and had a general meltdown to the point where Tumblr staff had to distance himself from him, so I'm not shocked.

(That its Tumblr is the only thing that shocks me - you'd think he'd have realised its queer-friendly rep was one of the main things going for it)

So you're saying that they've got books worth at least a grand which their owners are literally using to flaunt their wealth?

I'm legally obligated to say stealing is legally and morally wrong buuuuuuuut
