BAES 126: Sam Altman is a Conman.

The Ben and Emil Show

Show Notes

The walls are closing in on Sam Altman. He's irritable in interviews. Dodgy about reasonable questions given the amount of BS he spews almost daily. This week we're taking a look at the recent drama surrounding Sam and his CFO, who suggested that OpenAI might lean on the US government as a "lender of last resort". Plus, Michael Burry has a new short thesis, and he's vocal about it.
