Summary

The walls are closing in on Sam Altman. He's irritable in interviews. Dodgy about reasonable questions given the amount of BS he spews almost daily. This week we're taking a look at the recent drama surrounding Sam and his CFO, who suggested that OpenAI might lean on the US government as a "lender of last resort". Plus, Michael Burry has a new short thesis, and he's vocal about it. WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE OF EMIL'S NEW SHOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWED3Qultfc OUR NEW CREDIT CARD SITE IS LIVE!!!
