Section about Mr Altman's views on AI replacing people's jobs

Dear Wikipedian Elite, could I please add this section to this page, as I feel that people would be interested to read it. Thank you for spending your valuable time considering my unworthy edit to your wonderful website. 77.98.111.156 (talk) 08:58, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

:This edit has been disputed by {{U|Alenoach}}.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sam_Altman&diff=prev&oldid=1265387701] I don't believe the weight of the source supports it either. Morbidthoughts (talk) 09:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

::The reason he undid it was primarily because "The source doesn't frame it as a controversy, so Wikipedia shouldn't." I changed the section title and re-added it and there didn't seem to be any objection to it until you reverted it this morning. Today you said I needed consensus so I've opened the topic here. 77.98.111.156 (talk) 09:26, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

:::I agree with it's removal. The Business Insider piece is basically churnalism of an interview, and speculation on Altman's part. --Hipal (talk) 19:23, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Birthplace

The two sources cited for him being born in Chicago (El Pais, New Yorker) don't actually mention Chicago at all. I'm seeing various claims online that it's Westchester, also unsourced. 38.124.33.230 (talk) 19:18, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:[https://stratechery.com/2025/an-interview-with-openai-ceo-sam-altman-about-building-a-consumer-tech-company/ In this interview], Altman said "I was born in Chicago, but I really grew up in St. Louis." I changed the references. Alenoach (talk) 21:52, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
