OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently shared a candid moment regarding the emotional strain of advancing artificial intelligence, admitting that witnessing the rapid acceleration of AI capabilities has sometimes left him feeling ‘useless and sad.’ Altman suggested the technology is moving so quickly toward solving complex problems that it threatens to supersede the intellectual challenges that once defined his professional life. The admission, however, triggered a strong, largely negative reaction on X (formerly Twitter). Users quickly seized upon the irony of a Silicon Valley billionaire, whose company is at the forefront of this technological disruption, publicly lamenting the resulting existential dread. Critics accused Altman of lacking perspective, noting that millions of average workers face similar anxieties concerning job displacement and economic instability due to the very technology his company champions. Responses ranged from sharp critiques of his wealth to sarcastic advice, effectively turning the spotlight back onto the broader societal impacts of AI, rather than focusing on the psychological toll on its creators.
