That’s not what they wrote and you misinterpreted it. The point was that if it were true what is being claimed — that we’re close to AGI and we (the US, or EU, or China, etc., depending on where you live) must create it first or someone else will beat us to it and there’s no recovery from that — then the current behaviour makes no sense.

So someone is lying somewhere, and the end result is pumping stock prices.

Sure, if we only admit things in its cinematic universe it makes sense. It's incoherent as soon as you take a step out of the trees into the forest. For instance, we also know there's a well-made and popular argument that OpenAI is closed.

It's bizarre to flatten it to "they're giving it away because it's worthless but they're lying and saying its worth something so their stock goes higher", even setting aside the questionable premises that relies on.
