I mean given i'm still comparing it to landing people on mars i'm not sure what else you expect as far as "this is still world changing technology"

We shouldn't underestimate a company's engineering due to their PR/marketing strategy.

Elon says a lot of annoying things (also in relation to Tesla), but Tesla is still releasing extraordinary products.

Apple is (in a very different manner) also 100% marketing first. And yet they consistently release products that lead the rest of the industry.

On the other hand, if OpenAI is successful and predictions are correct that it will be used to generate a massive amount of spam and turn the internet into gloop then the entirety of Y Combinator's mission ages poorly. I guess offline computing or local networks only would become a bigger thing.
