So far, Sutskever has shown to be nothing but a dummy.
Yes, he had a lucky break with belief that "moar data" will bring significant advancement. It was somewhat impressive, but ChatGPT -whatever- is just a toy.
Nothing more. It breaks down immediately when any sign of intelligence or understanding would be needed.

But they will burn a lot of value and make everyone of their ilk happy. Just like crypto bros.
