    I suppose the goalpost shifting is my fault, the original comment was about Sutskever but I shifted talking about OpenAI in general, in part because I don’t really know to what extent Sutskever is individually responsible for OpenAI’s tech.

    also mock anyone who says it’s OK for them to act this way because they have a gigantic IQ.

    I think people are missing the irony in that comment.

      Guilty as charged: I missed the irony in it.

      (I’m the sort of person, unfortunately, who often misses irony.)

      I’m still not convinced Hanabie was being ironic, but if so missing the satire is a core tradition of Sneer Club that I am keeping alive for future generations.

        I think there’s a non-ironic element too. Sutskever can be both genuinely smart and weird cultist; just because someone is smart in one domain doesn’t mean they aren’t immensely foolish in others.
