All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

And that mystique and that fear has completely broken down.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

People kind of see the New York Times for what it is, which is basically a bunch of political activists who are pretending to be reporters.

And essentially, they just launder the point of view of their anonymous sources who are basically left-wing Democrats.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

and try to portray those viewpoints as somehow being neutral or objective truth, right?

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

Because they're kind of presenting themselves as these neutral arbiters of the truth.

And I think everyone can kind of see through that sham at this point.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

The thing they started with was the headline.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

And that was the one thing they refused to change, no matter how many times we refuted their narrative.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

What they would do is every couple of weeks, they'd send us a new fact check.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

And we would basically debunk it.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

And we can show you some of those fact checks if you want to see them to see where the story started, what they're trying to prove.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

And what would happen is every time we would debunk one of their accusations, they would just come back to us with a new one in every couple of weeks.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

The only fixed point in their reporting was this idea that I had to have these conflicts of interest that were benefiting myself and my friends.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

That you were self-dealing.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

Yes, exactly.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

So you guys know what I went through because I was LPs and some of your funds and you know that I divested them.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

which you could argue was above and beyond the call of duty, but I was just trying to avoid any potential conflict.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

And that I think is the central lie of this piece.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

Not only is the piece not true, it's the anti-truth.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
OpenAI's Code Red, Sacks vs New York Times, New Poverty Line?

Because the truth is that I divested hundreds of millions of dollars of positions
