- andsoitis 2y agoDoesn’t OpenAI claim their work will lead to artificial general intelligence? That seems like a much steeper gradient to climb. Hype is the fuel that bootstraps fortunes in techtopia.

- riffraff 2y ago> Hype is the fuel that bootstraps fortunes in techtopia. Hype is the fuel that builds fortunes at the expense of the greater fool. See WeWork. Arguably none of the magnificent seven was built on hype, other than Tesla (and even there, not sure it was).
- notfromhere 2y agoIt’s overvalued relative to its actual business, which is by definition hype
- riffraff 2y agoI agree it's wildly overvalued, but the hype came gradually over many years of actually shipping products that made money. It's not the same kind of hype as, say, color.com
- ben_w 2y agoYes, but we have a long track record of one overpromising and underdelivering, charging money for what doesn't yet exist; while the other released stuff on a minimal website with an associated blog post for fanfare, and actually (metaphorically) turned the world upsidedown, and only charges for what they actually deliver. Yes there's hype now, but that's how it began. So I think people are less distrustful of Altman when he says "thousands of days".
- draxil 2y agoYes, but then they also redefined what that means half way through.
