Sharp jab at OpenAI's Roon: mistaking 'abrasive self-importance' for 'lust for life'
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-08
A round of AI-community banter: tszzl mused that some people are so energetic it's painful to be around them, "like demigods among mortals"; Roon reshaped it as "lust for life." @LinusMixson quoted the exchange with a pointed jab: Roon reading that discomfort as divine presence rather than "abrasive self-importance" says a lot about why his career is where it is — plus, he adds, his own "infamous incompetence." A telling snapshot of the polarized views on OpenAI's famously high-profile researcher.
