But we suspect Extropic is just burning through the $14 million and will go broke within a year or two, if that. We look forward to Verdon’s “our fabulous journey” post.
This guy seems like the type to totally skip that, embezzle the last million or two, and go straight for "messianic cult in the woods." Possibly with a side order of "amateur experimental stimulant laboratory"

Why embezzle when you can just pay yourself an exorbitant salary?

This dude learned at miminum the word "stochastic" from LW.

From the linked Andrew Molitor item:
I have a feeling this is related to wanking about physics in the e/acc holy gospels. They invoke thermodynamics the way that people trying to sell you healing crystals for your chakras invoke quantum mechanics.
that's Beff too
the guy is actually almost a physicist, even flunked out of a Ph.D
Great credential for trying to "integrate physics and AI" if he's demonstrably too lazy to understand physics at an advanced level.
