> I’ll find you a buyer…I just—enough,’ Altman said on Gerstner’s podcast.”

Hopefully nobody reading this has experienced it: these are the words of a true sociopath/addict.

"I'm mad you questioned me" is fucking classic.

I told dang I was out and I am after this. Sorry dang.

I think it's a bit out of order of Altman. $1.4tn is ~16 times the US foreign aid budget. These are significant, solve world hunger type numbers that should be analysed seriously and not done on the basis of trust me bro.
> not done on the basis of trust me bro

It's not. It's done on the basis of don't question me bro.

> I told dang I was out and I am after this. Sorry dang.

Sorry but is there some lore behind it as I feel like the last sentence has me wondering what it means. If you could share the lore, I would really appreciate it.

but overall, I agree that this is a very weird thing to say by Sam Altman

Yeah, but why would it matter to us if they tell dang they’re out? That’s the missing context.
Agreed. Very confusing.
Yes, and I was asking for this thing when I had created the comment. I know who dang is, but I want to know what's the missing context.
