I think it's pompous for both you and Sam Altman to be wasting our threads with these bets.
you wanted to have a discussion behind closed doors before announcing this to the entire world? ok, that's fine, but that begs the question "why?"
given human nature, it's probably for nefarious purposes and propaganda control. I'm thinking you regret this bet, have realized it has only accelerate d the bubbles collapse, and are attempting serious efforts at damage control.
look, your a smart guy, sam, but you are pretty terrible at this whole communication thing, which is a shame considering that's a major part of your job.
lol
In any case, there is a difference between writing bombastically about a situation you are financially involved in and a journalist writing an article about tech.
