"We have no current plans to make revenue. We have no idea how we may one day generate revenue. We have made a soft promise to investors that once we've built this sort of generally intelligent system, basically we will ask it to figure out a way to generate an investment return for you." - Sam Altman

What a fucking stupid grift that is, how are they falling for it?

They want to believe. They hope that, if they pump this enough, enough other people will chip in that they can make a return even if it crashes, but far more so, they want it to deliver. Imagine a super-intelligent money making machine, and you're getting a big slice of the pie!

They want to believe that they've found the free money hack, just like with Crypto.

And just like Crypto, it's mostly those that were rich already that'll make bank selling shovels for the rest to dig their own graves with in search for gold.
