It started when someone joked about "Dario levels of cope" and said their money is on China right now. Another user then laid out the full cope leaderboard, from tier 10 "Slightly Confused" up through "Hopium Enjoyer", "Reality Optional", "Professional Copium User", "Living in an Alternate Timeline", "Certified Delusion Specialist" and "Grandmaster of Delusion" — with tier 1, the top of the pyramid, being Dario Amodei himself. It's a mock ranking of Dario's optimistic takes on AGI and US AI leadership.
