In times like these, i think its important to track whats happening the way we track entropy.
That is: theres far >> more ways to be an asshole than well behaved.
That doesnt mean we can equate assholes, but the question is which states of entropy are annealable and which are not.
I posit Altman is not. Amodei is a open question.
Though they aren't the only company to play that game, so there is probably more to it than just that. OpenAI's president giving millions to MAGA Inc and them not getting the same treatment might not be complete coincidences.
Intentionally framing yourself as the local dangerous guy about to beat others is not like wearing cloth.
