OpenAIs $200 closed-ai uppended by hedge-funds free side-project Quant geeks outcompete overpaid silicon valley devs etc. Basically, hubris gets its comeuppance which is a david vs goliath biblical archetype which is why this drama grips all of us.

seems ironic that the turns have tabled. "silicon valley devs" were the analogous "quant geeks" underdogs that unseated the ossified incumbents.

That said, I feel like "quant geeks" aren't quite underdogs compared to silicon valley devs. wdyt?
