This would be a fabulously dramatic plot twist. I’ve never considered this as a possibility before, but between Altman orchestrating some masterful play to bring the next transformative technology to market first for massive profit, and Altman orchestrating some masterful manipulation to scam everyone, the latter feels massively more plausible.
Are all the people who are super duper worried about GenAI and safety in reality a planted foil? Men cowering in front of the fake paper tiger, so men further away say “this tiger is powerful, just look at how those men are cowering before it”.

Most folks joining a cult are trying to improve their lives. They end up in a thought bubble though that often leads to worse decision making. I think AI is useful but I don’t think it’s the multi-trillion dollar cash geyser the some of these billionaires are hoping for.
