Believe in unbiased documentation at your peril. When you desire a peek behind the curtain into random people's lives you are going to get taken for a ride everytime. That makes scrolling heavy on entertainment value and all users know it.
Social media algorithm scores are just a way for us to outsource easy reputation management, that puts a lot of hops in between you and authenticity and can't really be called a "shared reality" with a straight face. Perhaps now something better can come along that doesn't favor Image marksmen.

The only connection it has to what Altman himself believes is what he believes will make his company, and by extension him, more money.
In this case, getting people to accept that it’s ok for AI to shape people’s perception of reality is very obviously in his interest.

That distinction is important if you want to understand what’s happening.

He knows that OpenAI's has a first-mover advantage and that it won't last forever. They will spend everything they earn on salaries and Microsoft's cloud. As their competitors catch up, OpenAI's biggest asset will be Altman's reputation as international AI guru unless someone challenges that.

Let’s nip that in the bud and challenge it right here. Altman has no credentials in the AI space other than as an executive. There’s no evidence to support the idea that he’s a “guru”. He dropped out of a CS program to found a social networking app.
It’s a bad idea to confuse successful executives with people that have real technical expertise in some discipline.
