The whole story of OpenAI is really slimy too. It was created as a non-profit, then it was handed somehow to Sam who took it closed and for-profit (using AI fear mongering as an excuse) and is now seeking to leverage government to lock it into a position of market dominance.

The whole saga makes Altman look really, really terrible.

If AI really is this dangerous then we definitely don't need people like this in control of it.

Open AI has been pretty dishonest since the pivot to for-profit, but this is a new low.

Incredibly scummy behaviour that will not land well with a lot of people in the AI community. I wonder if this is what prompted a lot of people to leave for Anthropic.

At this point, with this part about openai and worldcoin… if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck..

No, it was mostly concern that Sam wasn't taking existential risks seriously enough. (He thinks they're possible but not very likely, given the current course we're on.)
