"A few thousand days" reminds me of how Elon Musk liked to promise he would send someone to Mars in 5-to-10 years, until it was 5 years before his latest deadline of 2031 and he announced that Mars was old and dead and a Moon colony was the new cool.

    Intentionally switching to a more trivial scale, while remaining purposefully vague and imprecise, is such a fascinating bafflegab tactic. It's a giant waving red flag that Altman is bullshitting, but many people (especially in the press!) still take it as profound.
