Your use of the word "our" is too liberally applied, he was no hero of mine. I believe history will have a very different view of Altman, "Open"AI, and AI in general.


Note I said "heroes", not "hero". I'm making a general statement about how the views people can have about others can evolve over time.


That’s the rhetorical “our”.


> rhetorical

Plural generic first-person possessive pronoun.


Is English not your first language? They were making a rhetorical argument about our heroes, whoever they may be.

It’s clear from context that they’re talking about how Sam is a hero of Eric’s and Sam has fallen which is a thing that can happen.

Yes? That's what "plural generic first-person possessive pronoun" means. I was agreeing with you, mate.
