If I donated millions to them, I’d be furious.
What gives me even less sympathy for Altman is that he took OpenAI, whose mission was open AI, and turned it not only closed but then immediately started a world tour trying to weaponize fear-mongering to convince governments to effectively outlaw actually open AI.
Why is Worldcoin a grift?
And I believe his argument for it not being open is safety.
i think you'd be foolish to trust yourself (and expect others) to not accidentally leak it/make a mistake.
AI is perhaps not the best example of this, since it's knowledge-based, and thus easier to leak/steal. But my point still stands that while I don't trust Sam Altman with it, I don't necessarily blame him for the instinct to trust himself and nobody else.
