I'll also flag, and I've never flagged anything before.

Sam A's job is to sell Open AI. It's not not interesting that he talks about why is so great!

There's nothing substantive in this article. The author expresses a seething hatred for OpenAI's CEO by repeatedly lampooning ("where's the evidence!?") brief quotes, without context, of Altman's opinions/predictions. I hope that the author escapes whatever rut made him so overwhelmingly bitter and resentful. I've been there, and it truly stinks. :/

In my opinion, might be worthy of a meta rule: If the only result of a post is to discuss the value or general opinion of a particular public person, it is, by definition, not a post we would like in our conversation.
Selling snake oil? Of generative AI? Where most companies have failed to turn profitable just because these models are not as useful and reliable especially in "high value use cases" such as "read this 100 page insurance policy and tell me if my situation X is covered or not and in both cases under what clauses" kind of cases?
