Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Lol. This is perfect. Can we please adopt this everywhere.
As for the OpenAI statement... it's interesting how it starts with "We are now confident [...]" to make people think "ooh now comes the real stuff"... but then it quickly makes a sharp turn towards weasel words: "We believe that [...] we may see [...]" . I guess the idea is that the confidence from the first part is supposed to carry over to the second, while retaining a way to later say "look, we didn't promise anything for 2025". But then again, maybe I'm ascribing too much thoughtfulness here, when actually they just throw out random bullshit, just like their "AI".
the important point is for Sam not to make any statement that wouldn't qualify as forward-looking statements. This helps dodge the SEC busting them for lying to investors, like Theranos and FTX.
Sam better have a savings account exclusively to pay for lawyers once Microsoft realizes buying 49% of OpenAI was a mistake.
Or not, it'd be hella fun seeing him get fucked in court
