Altman also has very selfish motivation, because when there is now AI regulation, only Google, OpenAI (Microsoft) and maybe Meta are allowed to build “compliant” AI. It’s called regulatory capture.

* EU passed its AI regulation directive recently and it has been bashed already here on HackerNews

Sam doesn't have much financial upside from OpenAI (reportedly, he doesn't have any equity).

And he wrote about the risk in 2015 months before OpenAI was founded: https://blog.samaltman.com/machine-intelligence-part-1 https://blog.samaltman.com/machine-intelligence-part-2

Fine if you disagree with his arguments, but why assume you know what his motivation is?

I find it highly unlikely that he has less upside than the employees who also don’t have equity, but do have profit participation units.
