I’m afraid about every person who has power, not only the dumb ones. Either smart people with bad intentions or dumb people with power. The chance that a powerful person is smart and has good intentions is rare.
The only way to get this rich is by exploiting others and almost definitely breaking laws. These people all have a screw loose somewhere.
Good intentions alone don’t guarantee good outcomes. I suggest not giving any single person or entity too much power, no matter who they are.
How about having seven fossils in robes judging a nation of millions?
You see real democracy is when you subvert the will of the people and call it “checks and balances”.
I’m afraid of both, too, but if I had to choose:
- evil but smart people only harm you when it benefits them
- dumb but good people harm you all the time
As such I see the later as far more dangerous. Although there’s an even worse group, that Altman likely belongs to - the dumb but evil ones.
