The thrust of my point, clumsy though it was, was how absurd the overton window shift must be to make out Sam Altman is left wing. As you say though, this is the America context on an American website and it’s all relative. I was mostly hoping you’d retort, which you did.

Thanks for elaborating regarding his donations. Given most is political donations, it sounds like he’s donating to groups who are more openminded to him and his “disruptive” tech company. More neoliberal as it were. Not left wing, neoliberal. It doesn’t sound like he gives much a damn for left wing causes (whatever that means in American context), but keeping politicians off his back so he can make a lot of money and enjoy his brief cult of personality amongst his supporters that returned him to the top job. UBI was supported by Milton Friedmen so again, fits the Neoliberal blueprint (if you squint enough, is mostly supported by a certain quarter of _more_ leftwing these days) and presumably donations to the Democrat guy (Yang?) due to support for said UBI policy. We got an expensive taste of that with Covid19 with helicopter money / furlough. Prior to that, I heard similar things from AI talks a decade ago, that the automation of jobs could result in significant enough amount of people unable to work and UBI could be a way of easing social disorder. The other debates being how likely artificial general intelligence is in next 25 years/ever, that being what AI existential threat scenarios seem to be based on.
