    That didn’t take long. The tech bro pokemon evolution always goes like this:

    1. Develop something interesting
    2. Find a useful niche for it
    3. Oversell it
    4. Over-invest in it
    5. Something illicit. In this case, it’s breaking every possible copyright on the internet
    6. ???
    7. profit (to a certain degree. It’s mostly VC cash or subsidies)
    8. Start believing that the product that is useful in one particular niche will be the solution to every problem mankind has ever faced.
    9. “The ones who think I’m wrong are just too woke to see”
    10. Far-right shithead with no friends other than the fanboys.

    Musk is at 10. Altman is at 8.

    EDIT: Downvoted by Altman and Musk themselves.

      6 is easy: forget how much you hate “socalism” and go get billions from the government under the guise of “providing access” and then snorting the money off a hooker instead of doing what you promised.
