I had this idea for this script. All it does is generate a new version of "Make a highly detailed video of Sam Altman laughing and lighting money on fire while people in suits cry around him. The background is incredibly intricate and shows off the full power of the model.", then feed that prompt into OpenAI's Sora which allows a certain amount of free uploads per day. All you'd need to do is manually make a new account, or automate a new email>new OpenAI account pipeline, and it costs them like $5+ each time to generate something nobody will watch.

A second script would do the same for image generators, but continually feed the output image back to them with the prompt "using this authentic news photo from Reuters of Sam Altman burning money, please make a slightly-off version that demonstrates the telltale signs of bad AI images in a way that isn't obvious enough to be spotted by an AI model". Just shitting that back and forth forever, each time costing the company money for something that no AI fan would click on.

I mean it’s pretty far from the worst use for AI

Morally I put it on par with torching a Waymo car. Yes it's polluting the air temporarily with lithium smoke, but the Waymo car is polluting the world by existing. It will cost Waymo money to replace that car, spike their insurance rates, and scare investors away from thinking it's a safe return. If an OpenAI investor opens up the app they're hinging the company's future on and it's nothing but Sam Altman burning their money while they cry and all of those videos have single digit viewcounts, maybe the bubble pops a lil' sooner.
