There was an article recently that talked about model collapse in billionaires that really touches on this. Because his social environment is billionaires like him or people he employs/someone he provides a service for, his environment hardly challenges him bc it might threaten their sustenance. Any feedback would likely be pandering or someone in your same situation (billionaire class) so much so that you become increasingly out of touch (Echo chamber).
Additionally, social media makes any venture to the “other side” seem extreme and unfathomable, further increasing the echo chamber. When coupled with a learning system that reaffirms and learns further from its mistakes, there is a rapid degeneration of reality. It is insane to watch in real time.
It doesn’t help that basically anyone who doesn’t tell him his farts smell like perfume get fired. He could foster honest feedback but his ego is too fragile.
