> Ilya Sutskever, cofounder and former chief scientist at OpenAI, is said to have led chants of “Feel the AGI!” at team meetings.

There is...chanting in team meetings in the US?

Has this been going for long now or is this some new trend picked up in Asia or something like that?

I don't think that is new. Back when Walmart tried to expand to Germany it was reported that they had employees do some Walmart chant. As you can guess this didn't go over well with German employees.

I was coming in with the Walmart example too. The onboarding meeting told us he overheard it at a Korean manufacturer and liked it.

Yeah I heard that too but I assumed this is just a thing in this sector not something actually high paid employees have to participate in.

It is said chanting pleases the LLM spirits and may bring forth the promised AGI god.

Last time I heard about something like this in the tech space was Theranos[1]. Doesn't really fill me with confidence about OpenAI.

FEEL THE AGI.

This is a meme that will keep on giving.
