Not twitter but here he is talking about that:

Wow much of what he’s saying in that video is a lie with regards to the history of latent diffusion, creating an open source GPT3, etc. Just taking credit for a bunch of work he didn’t have much to do with.


You know it never ceases to amaze me how even the most respected fall prey to this money laundering scheme. If people even spent some time to read about Tether they would not touch this stuff. It's blood money.


I've never owned any Tether, so don't know much about it. How is it blood money?


You should probably post some citations to that. Tether most probably have backing for every single dollar they have, and then plenty more. What about it is “blood money”?


With a bold claim like that citations would be in order.


I suspect a lot of them know it's a scam, they just want in on it and don't want to admit it.


Exactly how is cryptocurrency merely a "money laundering scheme"?


Do you even know the tech behind crypto? Just because scammers and similar people use and promote it, doesn't make it a bad technology at all.


Tether isn’t crypto though, in the sense of being decentralized, permissionless, etc
