to the moon?

In an exclusive and shocking interview with GPT-2, the Transformer model revealed startling accusations that Elon Musk and Ethereum are on cohoots to control “the global internet”:

Elon Musk and the Ethereum Foundation have invested heavily in the development of Ethereum 2. 0. They have made some big bets on the new platform and they are poised to dominate the internet.

When pressed for further details however, we were left uncertain that GPT-2 had any idea what it is talking about. When pressed on what Ethereum is GPT-2 replied:

Ethereum is a new cryptocurrency that has developed into a huge phenomenon. It has been used to finance a large variety of things, from a crowdfunding project for a new sports stadium in China to a blockchain that will create digital gold. So how does it work? It has been developed from the ground up, with a different design philosophy from Bitcoin, which allows for faster transactions and higher decentralization. The development of Ethereum is being overseen by a smart contract platform called Solidity. The platform is being used by a wide range of different developers including Bitcoin miners and large multinational corporations.

While this almost seen to make sense, this statement is inline with an increasingly disturbing trend of GPT-2 babbling incoherently sources say.

Gpt-2 talking about Ethereum

While the world waits endlessly for Ethereum 2.0, which supposedly brings the promise of a more scalable, secure, sustainable blockchain (how? proof of stake and some hand waving?), we asked GPT-2 to weight in on what it thought of this controversial new direction being led by Vitalik:

Ethereum 2.0 is just as exciting as it sounds. The new version of Ethereum is going to change the world. Ethereum is being developed by an army of programmers who have spent years building the technology necessary to run the global internet.

The level of enthusiasm GPT-2 has left some wondering if the cryptocurrency team hasn’t paid the Ai text generator to praise its warez. Though there has been no evidence found of a GPT-2/Ethereum alliance, some questions remain.

Is there a Musk/Ethereum cabal as GPT2 states? Latest reports do seem to show some connection:

To this story, perhaps there is more than meets the eye.
