Literally my first thought when reading that headline

Almost correct. Being busy for ourselves instead of for Company™ to be more profitable.

Ooooh I just love these tone-deaf sentences.
It's just ... something else altogether!

There are things I secretly enjoy, but Sam Altman probably is better off not knowing what those are.

I keep busy making widgets because I need the money to survive. If it were not for needing money to survive I would keep just as busy, but I'd be doing other things. This sam guy doesn't seem to posses even a basic understanding of logic.
