 Yeah, I genuinely have no idea. I'm not very well educated about who's involved with who when it comes to the OpenAI stuff. 
 I’ve actually, genuinely started to wonder is Elon Musk is a sociopath.
i don’t say that to be mean, or out of pop culture Elon hate. I mean it in the clinical way. It would explain some of his flexible morality and changing stories while seeming so believable. I don’t know. Just wondering if it’s the case. 
 Maybe this is a bad opinion to have, but I've always kind of thought that you can't really make billions without being slightly sociopathic. 
 yeah,  you may be right.
like the level of focus required might require lower levels of empathy. 🤷‍♂️
