Like if you think of this as a business, like,
And you start from the premise that people who run giant successful businesses have to say a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
Like, why is anyone even why is this a story?
I think, though, there's a kind of level setting here where one of the things you can do when you take a big sort of putting everything in one place narrative effort like this.
Is you can start from the beginning and remember what the original pitch was.
And when you go back to what the original pitch was, the defense of why are you guys being so naive?
This is a normal competitive business.
Like, OK, so when you pitch this as a nonprofit safety focused research lab that would aggressively comply with all regulation, like were the people who believed that naive to believe it at the time?
Right.
So that's when the defenses start to feel a little more like pressured to me.
Well, I mean, luckily we have a really robust independent tech media to, you know, so I was going to tune into TBPN and see their independent journalistic take on this would be.
I think the day after our piece closed, Ronan, or something like late last week, OpenAI acquired TBPN, which is this big sort of tech chat show.
So that's one aspect of this answer, right?
That as OpenAI expands and grows, they seem to be sort of buying up more of the press infrastructure to tell their own story.
And look, I mean, everyone, Ronan, you should say more about this, but everyone, including Altman and the OpenAI execs we spoke to, recognizes the economic pressures here.
I mean, I think you guys were there when he said, oh, yeah, it's definitely a bubble and someone's going to lose a phenomenal amount of money, right?
Yeah.
So...
even putting sort of the sci-fi Skynet stuff aside, the economic pressures are unavoidable.
And a lot of it has to do with this sort of pitchman rhetoric, the exact thing we're talking about, right?
