I could be totally wrong, but these kinds of billionaire class investments sound to me like a big money laundering scheme.

Just like "art" investment.

Some of them are, lot of con artists are just scamming investors (e.g. WeWork). But ppl like Altman actually beleive they are changing the world for the better, why they also have the skills and the funds to do so - I think that is scarier
