Not a word from Ilya. I can’t wrap my mind around his motivation. Did he really fire Sam over “AI safety” concerns? How is that remotely rational.

>>valine+v3
If it really was about “safety” then why wouldn’t Ilya have made some statement about opening the details of their model at least to some independent researchers under some tight controls. This is what makes it look like a simple power grab, the board has said absolutely nothing about what actions they would take to move toward a safer model of development.

>>tdubhr+Z8
Because they want to slow down further research which would push AGI closer until the safety/alignment aspect can catch up.

But if you really cared about that why would you be so opaque on everything. Usually people with strong conviction try to convince other people of that conviction. For a non profit that is supposedly acting in the interests of all mankind, they aren't actually telling us shit. Transparency is pretty much the first thing everybody does who actually cares about ethics and social responsibilities.
