"Sam Altman can barely code" rumor circulates, but the debunk is the point
gerardsans · x · 2026-10-07
A viral quote-post claims "insiders" say Sam Altman can barely code, misunderstands basic ML concepts, and that a senior Microsoft exec sees a small but real chance he's remembered as a Madoff-level scammer.
The poster (ex-engineer) is actually pushing back: listening to non-technical people talk about technology they don't understand is quite entertaining. The rumor has no credible sourcing — treat it as AI-circle drama.
