Bad news for you, their last CEO was too. Sam Altman signed a statement saying "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." Looks like you're not on any of their team, but you do have crypto king Marc Andreessen.

Did anyone believe that he seriously believed in that? I thought the consensus was he was angling for a government backed monopoly with OpenAI as the “steward” of large AI models.

This view was totally divorced from reality. Sam literally laid out his own case for AI posing an extinction risk on his blog in 2015, before OpenAI was even founded: https://blog.samaltman.com/machine-intelligence-part-1

"Development of superhuman machine intelligence (SMI) [1] is probably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity."
