What’s worse, too much hype, or the non-believers?

Well the OpenAI hype squad is racking up personal fortunes from their work in a finding deal that is pretty clearly over-valued. Especially versus what Deepmind sold for [1].

While perhaps both sides are not being honest, YC’s own sama is clearly profiting excessively over the hubub. He’s clearly proving to be a symbol of the faction of YC that rakes in money through arbitrage not prolonged value.
