I find it a little odd that Elon seems to take a swipe at OpenAI any opportunity he gets. If he cares so much about them not making money, maybe he should have put his twitter cash there instead? It's reassuring to me that the two people running policy work at the big AI "startups", Jack Clark (Anthropic) and Miles Brundage (OpenAI, who was hired by Jack iirc), are genuinely good humans. I've known Jack for 10 years and he's for sure a measured and reasonable person who cares about not doing harm. Although I don't know Miles, my understanding is he has similar qualities. If they're gonna be for profit, I feel this is really important.

Edit: Well, I guess these tweets explain the beef well -

I don't see the problem. he's making some quite valid criticisms of OpenAI. Jesus himself could be in charge of policy work there and that wouldn't change the fact that "Open"AI is anything but open

Two disparate thoughts.

if they were two disparate thoughts why did you put them next to each other with no indication of the disparity? and why do the two things have clear impact on each other?

I don't think they impact each other, I thought it was weird elon was taking random swipes at openai, but when I searched his Twitter for openai, the collection of tweets made it clear, interestingly for the same reason the article states (I tend to agree with Elon and the article).

In other news, imo, if a startup doing society altering work per the article is going to be closed, at least, imo, the people working there are decent people.

okay, I do see what you're saying now you explain it, but can you see how your original comment can appear more like "I find Elon criticising OpenAI weird: OpenAI is fine because these two guys I know [/of] are at the helm"
