I watched an interview where he said in the same sentence that it would solve climate change and world hunger, and something else astronomical.

Absolutely delusional. Think of what all of that investment money would have actually done if put towards actual useful causes.

It already has! Simply ask any LLM how to solve climate change, or world hunger.

Of course, Altman and people like him will perpetually say it's not ready and the answer is wrong, because they don't like the answer.

You could have bought sex toys for ducks made by artisan artists out of cheese for the money and it would still have had less negative impact.

That's some pretty structural cheese, I mean duck penis's are wild

My dog has... However you want to call those cheese-chew-toys. You can use those as a hammer.

Yeah but spending money on useful causes has zero chances of winning big. It's all about the thrill of the gain. Addicts.

We could solve the climate crisis or we could get the mystery box. It could even ~~be a boat~~ solve the climate crisis
