Feels a bit like that paperclip sim
maybe just "they" can't.
probably a bad idea to put those with already too many recource usage, who are living on the cost of society for uncountable generations, in positions to decide anything. maybe.
Between this and saying they couldn't operate if they fairly paid authors, I'm getting the feeling that Altman might be as talented of a CEO as Spez and Musk.

If a leap in world computing capacity is really what’s needed here then it is a tall order. Crypto has been sucking up an increasing share of that in recent years and will probably continue to do so as long as people love money and are idiots.
