> Like some intern’s idea to train the voice on their favorite movie.

Ah, the famous rogue engineer.

The thing is, even if it were the case, this intern would have been supervised by someone, who themselves would have been managed by someone, all the way to the top. The moment Altman makes a demo using it, he owns the problem. Such a public fuckup is embarrassing.

You mean, they were reckless and tried to wing it? Yes, that’s exactly what’s wrong with them.

LOL. ROFL, even. This was a gambit all right. They just expected her to cave and not ask questions. Altman has a common thing with Musk: he does not play 3D chess.
