Why does everyone here think that the guy who quit/lost his job at OpenAI because he didn't agree with their corporate shift and departure from the original non-profit vision is going to be lining up for another big corporate job building closed for-profit AI?

Maybe “better the devil you know than the devil you don't” applies?

There is no evidence of this being true.

He is one of the biggest proponents of keeping AI closed-source, by the way.

Then...he would have stayed at OpenAI.

From quite different reasons than profit, tho

>>paxys+(OP)
I am hoping he goes open source or to Meta

>>mnk47+31
That's a naive way of thinking. Keeping it closed source would only make it available to the highest bidder on the black market.

The big reason is that when push comes to shove, most of these people don't have any principles.

Sure, if they are in a position of power they will wield it how they want. When he caused the whole fiasco, he probably thought it was going to work.

But if the choice is between losing the position of influence, or deciding between what position of influence to accept next, well you'll see that the principles are very flexible.

We already saw this happen with a few of the "safety" researchers that got fired from OpenAI, and yet started working on X AI (I think?), which is definitely not know for "safety".
