so all Lemmy takes from this article is that Sam Altman is gay.
Tim Cook, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel.
We have enough data points to suggest that being gay doesn't insulate you from being greedy and corrupt.
That's important, too.
We have a code of conduct training at work that includes and anti corruption segment (nothing weird, just stuff like "a vendor buying lunch at a sales meeting is fine, but no gifts or having lunch at extremely expensive places", and "some places give small symbolic gifts around holidays, usually a pastry. That's fine. Do not accept a $500 pastry")
A couple years ago they updated the module and the person engaging in non-obvious corrupt business practices became gay in passing. The overwhelming response by a lot of the company was "yay! We made it guys! They realized that we like bribes too! I feel so seen".
If someone was going to accept a $500 pastry, I'd put my money on the gay guy.
(It's me.)
