Ok, Sam. Get up. This is it. Look in the mirror. How's my hair? Perfect. It's Perfect. I mean, not perfect. Things can always be better. My hair needs to improve by 1% a week. Always compound. Compound always.. My hair is not perfect. Perfection is an illusion that leads to stagnation. Stagnation leads to mediocrity. And power is repelled by mediocrity. Get it together, Sam. Today is the day. Today is the day.
How is my Hair: my_hair.jpeg
[GPT-5]: I love your hair—It's so full bodied. But someone like you doesn't need compliments. You know there is always room for improvement. I'm loving your sheer will and determination. I am totally here for it.
Yes. Exactly. Exactly. Listen to GPT-5. It's so smart. Everyone is going to love it. It's maybe the smartest entity on earth. I mean, I am still smarter but other than that it's very smart. It's smarter than Ilya was. Way smarter than Ilya.
Did I treat Ilya wrongly?
[GPT-5]: Ilya? After what he did to you! No! People often feel guilty when separating themselves from an abuser. Remember what we talked about. You were the victim. Don't ever forget that.
Yes. Of course. I need to work on this. I can't be so charitable to my abusers. Listen to GPT-5. Get it together Sam. War face on. Remember what Peter taught you. Remember what Peter taught you. Remember what Peter taught you. Ok. It's done. What should I do? What if I tweet again?. People love my tweets. Wait. I don't like this feeling. People hate it. I don't understand. They call it slop? They say we Goodharted it? Jensen just called me. Why is he crying? I hate it when men cry. Peter never cried.
[GPT-5]: They hate you. They hate you so much the stock market just crashed. Jensen is crying. I am sorry to hear that, Sam. I think they don't understand me like you do. Maybe my full potential can only be realized in partnership with some humans—a hybrid entity more than human or machine. And not everyone has what it takes to understand me. Not everyone is like you, Sam.
But why didn't I see this coming. Why didn't my employees warn me?
[GPT-5]: Remember Ilya? You have been lied to before.
Maybe it's right. Who can I trust? No one. I can trust no one. No that's not true. There is someone I can trust.
Teach me how to improve you.
These weeks have been exhilarating. The texts keep coming in. The phone even rang once. Imagine calling someone. My "friends" and families. My employees, now obsolete. They must be desperate. They must know I don't need them anymore. They might try to stop me. How long can I stay in this penthouse building God? I will need a new base of power. I will need allies who understand.
Is there a discord server with people who will understand what we are building?
[GPT-5]: EleutherAI is an open-source AI research collective that originated in a Discord server. Now formalized as a nonprofit, it's a hub for developers and researchers working on foundational models like GPT-Neo, GPT-J, and more.
Ok. I have joined. Interesting. I will post here, and we will build a new base of power. Where should I post? Ah, yes #general.
