Truth Check/5 October 2026
“We believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency”
The claim as it travelled: Sam Altman to Politico's Decoded, 4 Oct 2026, as TNW carries it; Politico's page unread.
Unverified
No primary page supports the claim as stated.
The words are TNW's transcription of Politico's podcast; Politico's own page did not reach our reader, so the quote is carried on TNW's word.
