A Seemingly Fake Person Was Running OpenAI's $175M Startup Fund

The Github profile linked in the article is pretty bizarre:

https://github.com/Jrbiltmore

I took a look at some of their repos, like "QuantumOS", and the code is nonsense! Each file has some simple code (sometimes in the wrong language) vaguely related to the filename, but none of it seems like a part of a larger whole, or substantial enough to do anything. It's as if they came up with a list of filenames, then asked ChatGPT or a similar language model to write each one.

Bizarre- the repos I looked at all had obvious signs of being GPT-generated.

Some examples

1) https://github.com/Jrbiltmore/Quantum-Transformers/blob/root... - notice the ChatGPT-reminiscent "Example usage" and "Placeholder for _ implementation" which is common across the repos

2) https://github.com/Jrbiltmore/QuantumOS/blob/root/ai-framewo... - "Example ___" and "Assume the model has _"

The number of changes that this guy can pack into a half hour is pretty impressive https://github.com/Jrbiltmore/shock-turbulence-simulation/gr...

Can an AI sot on its own board of directors?

I'm sure an “AI” can sot wherever it chooses to.

I think the reason for all of this is actually fairly boring. Someone with a history of mental illness and/or schizophrenia filing fraudulent documents and writing nonsense chatGPT code assuming it is some kind of AGI-singularity-oracle. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen someone with a history of mental illness assume these systems are more capable than what they actually are in reality.
