Almost every part of the story that has made OpenAI a dystopian unicorn is hyperbole. And now this -- a company whose employees can't tell the truth or they lose access to remuneration. Everyone's Allen Weisselberg.

What's one more hyperbole?

Edit to add, provocatively but not sarcastically: next time you hear some AI-proponent-who-used-to-be-a-crypto-proponent roll out the "but aren't we all just LLMs, in essence?" justification for their belief that ChatGPT may have broad understanding, ask yourself: are they not just self-soothing over their part in mass job losses with a nice faux-scientific-inevitability bedtime story?
