He may not be the villain.
But who knows, it feels like an episode of silicon valley!

>That guy definitely fucks that robot, right?
That "handsy greasy little weirdo" Silicon Valley character Ariel and his robot Fiona were obviously based on Ben Goertzel and Sophia, not Sam Altman, though.

>The character of Ariel in the current episode instantly reminded me of Ben Goertzel, whom i stumbled upon couple of years ago, but did not really paid close attention to his progress. One search later:
VIDEO Interview: SingularityNET's Dr Ben Goertzel, robot Sophia and open source AI:
I don't know, so much wild speculation all over the place, it's all just very interesting.
They need to be so much more than a partner.
Being open is not in their nature.
Sadly it is usually the demise of innovation when they get their hook in.
Edit: It occurs to me that possibly only the independent directors were permitted to vote on this. It's also possible Ilya recused himself, although the consequences of that would be obvious. Unfortunately I can't find the governing documents of OpenAI, Inc. anywhere to assess what is required.
They had an open ethos and then went quasi closed for profit and then a behemoth has betted the family jewels on their products.
Harking on about the dangers of those products does not help the share price!
My money is on a power play at the top tables.
Embrace, extend, and exterminate.
Playbook!
Either a position in Microsoft or a new start-up.
Or both.
What does it mean for OpenAI though? That’s a limb sawn off for sure.
someone hire some PIs so we can get a clear and full picture, please & thank you
