Brilliant strategy to take media attention away from Gemini.

Go big or... Hype harder than ever before! Mr. Altman learned about hype from Mr. Musk, I think.

Yeah, it's funny you say that I was thinking the same thing, he realizes this is how Elon gets all the attention and sucks oxygen out of everything else. I mean to be fair, the cars are great, the rockets exciting and I'm all for it. But it is clearly a media technique.

Well, at least on Musk's part, it's probably at least partially genuine optimism. Altman is a straight up mad scientist. If we get a Bladerunner, corporate fascism style government in the future, he'll be at the head of the queue for leadership.
