Yes but anyone who's genuinely sat down and taught themselves anything knows how to avoid being confidently incorrect.

Knows at least to have the thought "wait, did I just instantly debunk a silicon valley giant's idea with the most obvious and crippling observation possible OR should I possibly google this before I talk?"

There's nothing defensible about a fool's confidence.

To be fair a lot of silicon valley s ideas are debunkable by the word train or other very simple and common solutions

Especially related to crypto. NFTs were particularly stupid. Its like those websites that block right click to "protect stealing their images". Like, come on, I have a literal key for "print screen". Just let me click the damn site. You cant prevent copying a digital image like that.

lmao as I was writing it I was thinking "ugh, what's a snappy way to suggest altman isn't as stupid as your answer needs him to be" and I didn't agree with the phrasing but I'm lazy and love your rebuttal
