“Feel the AGI! Feel the AGI!” employees reportedly chanted, per The Atlantic, a refrain that was led by Sutskever himself. The chief scientist even commissioned a wooden effigy to represent an “unaligned” AI that works against the interest of humanity, only to set it on fire.
Rant about how they are crazy and all, but I wish my company did such meaningful team building experiences, our last off-site was some meh hike with casual talk, I want to see my manager chanting creepy stuff while a wooden sculpture burns in the background :/
Everybody involved with OpenAI seems to be going insane

The line between lunatic and marketing is thin.
I think it is more like the line between marketing and lying is thin.
The world is weird as fuck.
