These statistics are only as good as their method of data collection.

Yandex is not that popular in the United States, their data collection seems wrong. Semrush ranks reddit #3 in the US.

OpenAI also has extremely good options for replacements. Andrej Karpathy is back at OpenAI after leading Tesla’s autonomous driving, Ilya Sutskever is highly respected, etc. The perception I had of Sam Altman was that he was more so business side and not research side, (previous YC president, had a crypto startup on the side, raising VC funds, etc) so a move to a more research oriented C-Suite might also seem like a really good option to their board.

I also really like the Bitcoin block number. It will likely be one of the most provable records of time passing, but not as convienent for tracking or converting time.

Unix is the easiest format I’ve used. It’s easy to parse, it’s consistent, there’s not usually competing unix like formats, it converts perfectly to other time formats, most file explorers can immediately sort it correctly, and it’s clearly the date from which the universe spawned into existence.

There was a Veritasium video like 2 years ago about wind powered vehicles. I guess it’s possible they saw a video like it. Physics can be very unintuitive sometimes, but, vehicles like sail boats do make sense.
