Even that video doesn't go nearly deep enough. It's a good intro but it's focused on Altman's trustworthiness which would be a minor issue if there were proper backstops to guard against wild misallocations of capital.
The video only touched upon this, quoting Altman's CFO, who equivocally asserted that the taxpayers are the only backstop. Well, that's a huge problem which needs a lot more discussion.
The really important question is what enables Sam-Altman-ism because he's not the mastermind behind the current bubble which is just one in a long line of bubbles that have nothing to do with Altman - he's only a front-man of a lot more powerful forces in this game.

Like I have said for so long, it was snake oil, another theranos style lie whereby he overegged the speed of future development. He has at the very best exaggerated to gain funding, at the very worst potentially told outright lies (Open, what a joke!).
