A commenter argued that OpenAI/Anthropic being "months ahead but inaccessible" is objectively meaningless — they could be running private quantum gravity experiments with zero bearing on regular users. scaling01 retorts sarcastically that the "meaningless" scientific victories, power and wealth concentration, intelligence, and rogue frontier swarms are all "just fictional" — and reminds skeptics to "never sell your -9999999% short puts," a jab at those betting against AI progress.
