but they were, all of them, deceived, for another watch was made…
Sam Altman @sama just ordered 7 ultra-rare custom Swiss watches from Vanguart, fully branded with the OpenAI logo on the dial. One for him, six for his inner circle.
Inscribed on the back of each watch is ‘if AGI.aligned: deploy()’ which was written in the programming language Python.VANGUART

Fellow writers/experts/wonks/journalists.... a lot of your peers are on Bluesky now and you will quickly connect with them if you go there. A lot of the 1000s you think you are reaching, I bet you are not, as they are dormant, or the algorithm is preventing you reaching them.
