Super creepy. Reviewing the trailers and other interviews, I actually get the same vibes as from Sam Altman. Almost exactly same voice. The way they look and try to be handsome and nice while straightly telling lies to your face... Scary st

The only moat lives at the Pareto frontier. If you are on the Pareto frontier you are good and can charge money. But the frontier is moving every week so it's super competitive. If you are the quickest innovator, I still believe there
