- gizmodo59 2y agoYou can wait to release something all over the world which will take time because it’s not an engineering issue but a compliance/legal or other types of issue. Or you can iterate faster by doing the minimum and getting feedback and then releasing it in other markets. Not sure what’s wrong with this approach.
- klabb3 2y agoThat’s fair, but I was referring to releasing in response to external events. It’s very clear they are trying to one-up each other and create hype, vagueposting etc. I don’t think sama is alone in this but everyone especially from the Thiel school of thought.

- klabb3 2y agoSama as the spokesperson regularly makes grandeur statements, often very vague, can’t show it because ”safety”, trade secrets etc. I think it’s widespread culturally, especially in earlier VC-centric times when investor fomo and mystique is name of the game. But nowadays even large publicly listed companies like Tesla pull this off and even sell consumer products that don’t exist yet. Do you want specific examples of sama statements that I think are horseshit specifically designed to generate buzz? It’s not hard to find.
