Honestly it should be a national embarrassment that some1 so overtly mendacious holds a position of power like Altman does. It's like everyone's resigned themselves to elites in power exhibiting antisocial behavior, to where increasingly obvious mendacity is tolerated.

AI is an engine. Engineers their catalysts. Reality is multilayered. Success is inter dimensional.

Nothing ages faster than a turnaround plan with a cover shoot attached.
