Hold on, doesn’t he think ads aren’t cool, assuming he watched the movie The Social Network years ago?

Sam Altman wants you to believe he doesn’t like ads. Sam Altman wants you to believe ads are a last resort for him. Sam is losing money. Sam reached his last resort option.

So he is allegedly reported to be very dishonest but I wonder if the ad claim is a good example.

I don't think that is, because, at the time, he probably haven't decided one way or another. I think about it like the Schrodinger's cat. If Schrodinger's said "I think the cat is dead" and you went ahead and opened the box and found the cat alive, would Schrodinger have lied?
