> For a leadership offsite this year, according to two people familiar with the event, Sutskever commissioned a wooden effigy from a local artist that was intended to represent an “unaligned” AI—that is, one that does not meet a human’s objectives. He set it on fire to symbolize OpenAI’s commitment to its founding principles.

Honestly, pretty sick

Pretty sick but he’s forgetting that there are others that could build the same statue, and just…not set it on fire.

Yes, idol worship is alive and well. What's your point?

I think perhaps you missed the analogy here?

The fire is OpenAI controlling an AI with their alignment efforts. The analogy here is that some company could recreate the AGI-under-alignment and just... Decide to remove the alignment controls. Hence, create another effigy and not set it on fire.
