The "Silicon Valley can do no bad" crowd. He's making it sound like Altman's just following a well trod path here when they're clearly doing something novel and actually quite evil.


He calls investing in OpenAI "wishful thinking" and a "Ponzi scheme", and as I read it, he's also criticizing the thing you're criticizing, though somewhat less harshly. He just seems to be under the mistaken impression that Mosaic Communications Corporation was a licensee of Mosaic like Spry was, which, well, you can see how that misunderstanding could have arisen.

Well trodden and failing path. You misread the article if you considered it any endorsement of OpenAI’s plan.
