You object, but is there any practical difference between:

Sam Altman can’t say anything meaningful or interesting on almost all subjects.

and

Sam Altman will refuse to say anything meaningful or interesting on almost all subjects?

My point is that what he’s saying most likely doesn’t come from an incorrect, STEM-education based belief, as the article proposes.

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

The difference between essentially lying and stating one’s legitimate beliefs is pretty important.
