This might change as the thread matures, but the first 10 comments were all exclusively disagreeing with the premise of the post in ways that made it clear that 1) the commenters didn't read the post, and 2) their arguments were highly generic and didn't make any sense in the context of Sam Altman's life and path to success. So I would add one additional point to Sam's list: try to be a good listener.
