There's a cadre of investors I guess epitomized by a16z who hypes some bullshit, makes a lot of money and doesn't care much who gets hurt in the process. They have been loud on crypto and now it's this stochastic parrot, this plausible sentence generator they purport as solving all the problems in the world. Remember the blockchain will solve world hunger articles?
- krisoft 3y ago> They have been loud on crypto and now it's this stochastic parrot Okay. So there are investors hyping these things. You claimed that "ChatGPT launching a few weeks within the collapse of FTX" is not a coincidence. What it is then? Do you believe some of these investors seen FTX collapse and decided to make ChatGPT? Do you believe that OpenAI was delaying the release of ChatGPT until FTX collapsed? What is the connection if they are not coincidence? Please be as specific as you can.

Something along those lines yes: they likely had ongoing research which could be turned into a product relatively easily, this took a few weeks. The timeline matches this.
