How is stuff like this not considered fraud? This seems much worse to me than Musk's usual Tesla lies in which he is predicting some future capability. At least there is an argument that Musk believed it those at the time he said them or that they were optimistically possible despite being impractical. This seems to be material misrepresentation of the viability of one of the company's core R&D projects that Musk claims "will be the biggest product ever".

Didn't OpenAI demo facetime with a H.E.R. like chatbot/AI friend in April?

Where is that.. it's not available to anyone I know and was that actual real tech running or just faked demos? The tech playbook is hype even if it's not real and or really exists ... hype it up .. make them pay for the promise of something they think exists but it doesnt. Similar thing here Musk following the technology/startup playbook ... hype hype hype make people think it's real .. boost stocks as Open AI boosted it's subscription revenue Im sure in April of a promise of something that may or may not exist.

The safety people got a hold of it, but they did end up releasing it, although it refuses to do a lot of simple stuff you ask it to.

I subscribed twice and felt screwed not going to subscribe again until i see a live in person demo and or a trusted tech news source saying its available to all with a video showing them using it. Is there a recent such tech news report saying and showing such? Be good to see it!

I did startups and played this hype and create fake content/news to boost metrics and saw results. And yet i signed up twice lol

“The safety people” are gone.

OpenAI is just very comfortable lying right around the time google is doing a big public announcement.

Where is Sora? Everyone and their dog has video gen out now, Sora is conspicuously absent.

To be clear, OpenAI is not a public company and is not beholden to the same sort of disclosure rules as Tesla

To be clear, my point was that they are better at theatrics than delivering a product.
