Sama is another one. He is part of some sort of success story, makes a bunch of radical 4d chess type claims, so you can’t discount everything he says, however, even if what he says is true, how do you “build for AGI”? The dude sounds legit bonkers, but again, he has some type of cred because his team delivered a working product. It almost feels like this is a common play adopted by a lot of tech elites. It’s not a coincidence.
“If you find yourself part of some success story, any success, use it to your advantage. Use your ‘cred’ to drive a lot of hype and cash out, using all the cash you accumulate hire hard working people, have them deliver something which in turn keeps you looking ‘credible’, make more outlandish claims, gain more funding, rinse wash repeat”
I feel Jeff Bezos is an example of someone who doesn’t do this. Seems like a practical guy who works really hard and avoids (mostly) making silly claims.
