I actually don't.

I don't think they believe a fucking thing.

I think that however you feel is however you feel.

But I think that they...

correctly realize that they could very easily make people talk about something that doesn't exist just by mentioning it.

I saw a bunch of headlines that were like, wow, Anthropic sees the path to self-building AI.

No, they don't.

Other than the fact they had a single sentence saying, I see the path to this.

They don't have any proof.

They don't have anything.

And yeah, you're right.

These people are weird.

I have seen people on XTheEverything app, Twitter,

actually posting that we are in AI 2027, that everything matches up with AI 2027.

I want to be clear, and the reason I mentioned this is I just brought this up, is that in early 2026, in AI 2027, they say that Agent 1 has already started doing its own research.

That's not happening.

None of that's happening.

In fact, none of this is happening.

These people are just weird fantasists.

I think while there's the poison of the philosophers in them, I just think that Wario Amadei and Sam Altman both, I think that they both realize that journalists are easily conned, that investors are easily conned, that you can just say shit and anyone will print it and believe you because you're a CEO.
