Quote of the day by OpenAI Sam Altman: “The missing circuit in my brain, the circuit that would make me care what people think about me, is a real gift”

The OpenAI CEO calls his lack of concern for what others think of him a "missing circuit" and a gift, arguing that the human craving for acceptance is what distorts risk calculation for most people, pushing them away from ideas that merely look crazy from the outside.
