Altman openly says, if you want to make money, you have to invest in startups (i.e. piggyback on the smarts and dedication of others). He wants to make money on whatever is hot, so there you have it.

It's just sad, that they needed to deceive the audience with a BS feel-good story and a super awkward name to begin with. In my book that's basically a business no-go, period.

What's worse, the field is a total minefield. Jobs will get lost, surveillance and feedback loops will get tighter - all for the sake of making X billions from Y billions.

I could also see Altman replaying his early "success", something like taking 30M for BS idea and then selling it for 30.5M and celebrate big.
