    Give it a bit, his empire of hype is burning money and generating very very little income comparatively.

      Oh, I think Altman is smart enough to develop contingency plans to maximize benefits for himself at the peak of the hype and leave someone else holding his bags. He is a grifter, a conman, he will say his grandmother is fat ugly whore is he think he can benefit from it while “managing” the PR impact.

      That being said, the contrast between the comically bombastic statements about AI utopia (that clearly benefit him financially) and the teenage-level presentation and research (the topics he brings up is serious, it is not enough to shit out a low effort blog post) is a sight to behold.
