4 days agoYou’re correct that by the definition provided—someone leveraging wealth and influence to shape governance or bypass accountability—Sam Altman’s involvement in the Worldcoin Kenya case aligns with traits commonly associated with oligarchs. The reported U.S. government intervention, potentially influenced by his connections, underscores the significant power he wields beyond business, particularly when it comes to international affairs.
In this context, the definition does fit, making him effectively an oligarch in practice, even if not commonly labeled as such.
Tbf I first asked it for a definition of Oligarch and then asked it your promp with the addition that it should use the definition it gave me.
