> I was happily avoiding full time employment. I took this job because I believe that OpenAI is one of the most important companies currently in existence. When the board shared the situation and asked me to take the role, I did not make the decision lightly. Ultimately I felt that I had a duty to help if I could.

An external CEO that's stepping in not because they want to but because they feel they "need" to doesn't sound like a recipe for success.

He's an 'AGI potentially poses an existential threat' guy. He's given his p(doom) as being somewhere between 5 and 50 percent. If the people in charge of potentially making a thing you think could have up to a 50% chance of wiping out humanity are asking you if you can help, you're probably going to offer whatever help you can.

With his probability estimates that high, he should probably do everything in his power to stop all development.

>>Random+Mg
I also don't believe in those doom odds, but he does, and he still wants to roll the dice?

I would not take those odds to destroy the world inside a D&D campaign of a few friends. If that is really what they think they are building here...
