money makes you stupid

I like thinking back to that news cycle a few years back where OpenAI's previous board issued all kinds of warnings about how Altman was a greasy little shit with endless financial conflicts of interest, and the entirety of the tech press jumped on the narrative that they were all unreliable cranks

and this headline is kind of wrong; Ed Elson on this podcast points out that OpenAI's financials are teetering into the absolutely ludicrous and Galloway still acts surprised that Sam Altman (a guy he helped mythologize) could have built such a leaky boat
