'I used to think Mr. "We will have self-driving cars next year" Elon Musk was
the king of bullshit. His laughably false, hyperbolic, and manipulative
rhetoric has garnered him a place in history next to the inventor of snake oil.
But OpenAI CEO Sam Altman seems to be vying for Musk's crown. Amidst a torrent
of damning reports showing how AI is hitting a development wall, condemning
studies finding horrific flaws in AI, financial woes, terrified investors,
disappointing new products, and mounting lawsuits, Altman is under immense
pressure. But you wouldn't know it if you heard him. He recently stated that AI
"superintelligence" could only be "a few thousand days away" and all it would
take is "$7 trillion." He even tweeted that "there is no wall" to building
advanced AI models. The claims are, at best, copium, and at worst, manipulative
lies designed to keep the gravy train going, enabling his engorged startup to
soak up even more investor funds on false promises. Let me explain why.
There is so much evidence piled up against Altman's batshit claims. So much so
that some could, and probably will, write a Bible-sized book about it.
Obviously, I can't cover every point in detail in this article, so instead
let's summarise the prevalent issues facing AI, specifically generative AI,
such as the ones OpenAI makes.
Let's start with the AI development slowdown.'
