I still think the largely-popular opinion that OpenAI is an evil corporation is wrong. It's easy to get caught up in the disagreements surrounding closed and RLHFed-to-death models, but I really do think OpenAI believes in the dangers of AGI/superintelligence. Enough to spend a lot of financial and social capital on it, anyways.

There should be public Apollo-level projects to fund AI research towards creating this AI-scientist. The need has not arisen (because private companies have enough money to play with it), but as a matter of public policy, and considering its importance for our future, this research should be done publicly, in academia.

It's easy to spot bad opinions when the positor can't even take the other side of the debate like a high schooler in debate team.

OpenAI was laughed at starting as an "AGI" company (not laughing after GPT4?).

When HN largely got their motivations wrong too, I knew we were in for a rough time when these capabilities got so much closer like now.
