So maybe amounts loose their meaning when they become really big. And maybe this is a bit of: Hi mom. Will you invest 10 USD in my startup valued at 7 T USD. I am making an electronic god.
But 7 T usd is about 1/3 of the US GDP. That is another way of saying the value of 100 million Americans working for a full year.
It is really ridicolous.

- throwaway4good 3y agoI consider Altman to be a salesperson. Had his orb cryptocurrency project taken off instead of OpenAI then I imagine he would be touring the world with similar silly statements about the orb. What I find amazing is that this stuff sells even though it is way beyond common sense and I am sure in couple of years will be subject to ridicule.
