Think he meant three quarters of a billion. Although that seems way too high for paying users still.

Sam Altman raped his sister and assassinated a whistleblower. He's been removed from his last two companies for being a habitual liar (he managed to strongarm his way back into OpenAI of course). He only has money brcause he sold his first company based on fraudulent user numbers.

Hard to imagine people will go work for the plagiarism machine run by a sociopath because of their high ethic and moral standards.

The US has been foremost among western democracies in backing dictatorships, even genocidal ones.

Anthropic fumble of Fable's release will go down in the history books, makes sense for OpenAI to run with it.

Well in my case the government would have converted my USD salary into monopoly money at half of its value (that's before any taxes mind you) and it wouldn't even be legal for me to convert it back, so overall it was pretty cheap haha.

> And, their FAQ clearly states they don’t accept US citizens.

Ah could be, I'm not from the US so I can't speak to that.

I've opened (and used) a Dukascopy account with neither a Swiss passport nor even setting foot in Switzerland.

And I can vouch I had significantly less than 30M haha.

Yep, and that's literally the same exact mechanism we need the Epstein-class parasites to pay into as well.

LLMs are genuinely useful tools if used as such and not some magic people replacer.

I do wonder if their provided utility will still justify the cost once the bubble pops and frontier models aren't subsidized money furnaces, though.

I think the reanimated corpse of Hitler endorsed by the reanimated corpse of Epstein would get more votes than the Zucc.

> How much of your money do you spend on paying for kids school lunches, paying medical bills of terminally ill kids and paying off the student loans of graduates?

A third of my salary each month.

They're already helping run ICE's concentration camps. If Trump asked them for help with extermination camps they'd agree immediately.

Laurel1234 — Thu, 02 Jul 2026 18:22:33 +0000

Sounds cool but not like something anyone would pay for, so I would suggest open source.

If you want to monetize it go SaaS for enterprise but this is probably the worst time for that.

> Why do you believe they're lying about their beliefs?

Because they lie about everything? They're adding more parameters to LLMs and pushing some more vibecoded slop on top of their harnesses, how do you figure that's gonna bring about AGI. Yeah Mythos has 5T parameters, but when we get to 7 5T it'll definitely become sentient bro just 2.5T more params bro you'll see.

Not to mention I still haven't heard a single explanation for why we could possibly want to give our IDEs consciousness.

True, but neither is the US.

Then why THE FUCK would we want to develop it? If you're so scared that what you're building will lead to our extinction, stop fucking building it. Why are you booster freaks so weird and psychotic?

> All of this is totally understandable if you take the perspective that these people genuinely believe they're building superintelligence.

They aren't, they are building LLMs. They aren't even building AGI and they all know it.

Hell, even if they came up with AGI, then Anthropic's service model would become slavery so I'm not sure why they'd want to.

Really makes you think huh

How would you know? They've already degraded model performance silently.
