    “Feel the AGI! Feel the AGI!” employees reportedly chanted, per The Atlantic, a refrain that was led by Sutskever himself. The chief scientist even commissioned a wooden effigy to represent an “unaligned” AI that works against the interest of humanity, only to set it on fire.

    Rant about how they are crazy and all, but I wish my company did such meaningful team building experiences, our last off-site was some meh hike with casual talk, I want to see my manager chanting creepy stuff while a wooden sculpture burns in the background :/

      One of the great benefits of working from home has been the zero chance of motivational chanting, pep talks, or team-building golf or paintball or novelty competitive challenges. I always came out of those less motivated than I went in. Your company’s team-building thing of just going for a walk sounds like my sort of level actually.
