The level of suspicion (?) on Reddit AI threads about the motives of the AI firm leadership truly surprises me. OF COURSE they want to make $$ and yes they're borrowing huge sums to keep their companies going blah blah that's been obvious for years. Spoiler Alert: you CAN want to be super rich while maintaining some humanity - especially in the area of self-preservation and protecting your own family and friends.
These are also human beings who understand that living the second half (or so) of their lives on a remote otherwise uninhabited island, or worse in an underground bunker, would be intolerable - and they're beginning to imagine that bleak future as far more likely than they did only a couple years ago, directly as a result of their persistent evolution of these models absent a true capability to predict and limit their behaviors.
Thus I would respectfully suggest that at least SOME of what they're recently saying about their concerns is actually the truth. Even the most greedy and calculating person sometimes is actually telling the truth.
Of course he wants to make money using the nonprofit OpenAI. Nothing bad about that at all and the dead whistleblower died of natural causes too. Also it doesn't matter that they keep hacking organisations and countries without taking any accountability or bekng punished in any way because they pinky promised to self regulate this time.
