...he just wanted me to wash his food bowl and he was mad at Edward

Humanity vs the Beast. How far has one of your characters fallen into being a true monster? Or how far up the ladder of humanity have they managed to climb?

The more I learn about Edward's genetics the more hilarious him being a coward is. Like, his gremlin looking ears? Probably from that 3% Anatolian Shepard. Which means he basically got all the goofy genetics of some of the most well known guardian dogs

Altman has been quite clear about his strategy.
From the 2008 crash he learned that if you bind enough of the economy to your business you can do whatever you like; government will decide the rules no longer apply.
What he's selling is unaccountabilty.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
What does OpenAI offer the world?

There's always this joy mixed with sadness when you find something silly a pet who passed did, like moving a couch and finally understanding why "they fought in that spot" and finding a bone. Joy because you have the memories, sadness because they are gone
