    Oh no! But what happened to We’re not doing it for the money but the good of humanity, and If anybody approaches AGI before us we will shut down and use all our resources to help them instead?

    It’s almost as if all of that has been nothing but a load of bullshit from the beginning.

    Jacob Silverman:

    It’s March 2025. Everyone has resigned from OpenAI except Altman, a single H1B programmer, 50 lawyers, and the guy who refills the keurig. The company is worth $4 trillion.

      I guess in this scenario, Balaji’s fetishized hyperinflation finally happens sometime in the next 6 months.

        “Oh, we made ah, we made ah, arsenic ah, childhood food now, goodnight.”

        [lays down and snores]

        “Yeah, we just said you know is your baby really too loud? You know?”

        [snores]

        “Yeah, it’ll… you know the mums will love it.”

        [snores]

      I wouldn’t be shocked at a working agreement with Palmer Luckey’s Anduril to offer AI-assisted god-knows-what to Anduril’s military/surveillance hardware.

      EDIT: my brain took a dookie and I mixed up Luckey’s first and last names.
