OpenAI Employees Say Firm's Chief Scientist Has Been Making Strange Spiritual Claims

“If god did not exist, it’d be necessary to invent him.” — Voltaire

Are there OpenAI employees who aren't already in a TREACLESian cult? That's the only way I'd believe them thinking that any cult rituals that their "spiritual leader" performs are strange.

@GorillasAreForEating Didn't know it had gone as far as executives leading chants of "Feel the AGI!" Explains a lot.

Ilya is a genius. He's allowed to be weird.
