This is such a silly story to begin with, all it really tells us is that OpenAI is taking a page from Anthropic's marketing strategy of pretending they're building Machine Jesus any day now, oh isn't that that scary? I bet you want to invest in something so powerful and scary...

And the reality is so banal, a useful tool that you nonetheless have to handhold like a schizophrenic on a bad day, checking all of their outputs. Not a bad tool within limits, but it sure isn't going to be racking up trillions in the time-frame it has to for this scheme to pay off.

Then again everyone seems to be rushing to IPO so I guess once the bag-holders are found the rest ceases to matter.
