[00:00] I asked an AI to clone Sam Altman 50 times in a row just to see how weird it gets. Okay, first one, normal Sam. Second, a little shinier, like he just downloaded Confidence. Why is he glowing? He looks like the CEO of a spaceship company.
[00:13] Wait, is that code in his eyes? Bros turn into ChatGPT itself. Oh, his smile's too perfect. That's not a smile. That's a syntax error. Okay, now he's half robot. Now he's just wires in a brain.
[00:25] Okay, why is he made of chrome? Wait, he's melting? Why is he melting into liquid data? Now he's an orb, a literal glowing orb. Oh my god, it's turning red. Is that an apple? Why is Sam Holtman an apple? What does it even mean?
