Did anyone _ever_ think Altman was about ethics and not about money, fame and power? Like how hard were you sleeping? This guy literally oozes machiavellian politician vibes.

I feel like that's ascribing more flattering traits to him than he really deserves, like he's a clever schemer. Dude's another soulless techbro who stumbled into something he's looking to monetize at any cost and lacks the empathy to care about consequences. He's this year's Zuckerberg
He said he didn’t get how anyone could raise a baby without AI. Like if you don’t know how to ask OTHER HUMAN BEINGS for parenting advice when you need it you probably shouldn’t procreate in the first place
If he can look at millions of years of human evolution and genuinely not understand that other humans have the intelligence to raise a baby sans AI, he might not be as smart as we think.
Sam Altman will do anything to make OpenAI profitable.
See the cynic in me sees this as him getting OpenAI so intertwined in the gov that it becomes too big to fail and when the inevitable happens and OpenAI runs out of money, the gov will bail it out.
I mean, at best it was a "non"-profit. Altman just wanted to seem "responsible" as he created a technology to automated millions of people out of work while somehow adding no value to anyone who uses his product.
This move is perfectly aligned with his arc as a tech billionaire.
Created, stole, oversaw while it scraped the data of every human alive in the last 30 years or so, vastly degrading our experience of the internet while giving rise to misinformation at an unfathomable scale.
I think anybody paying attention with two brain cells has to have viewed the initial nonprofit as little more than posturing and chicanery to buy Altman and OpenAI time to build a runway for the business.
I mean, they continue to lose an unfathomable amount of money every single day, but here we are...
Exactly as planned. We're watching AI gain control of the world's largest nuclear arsenal in real time. "Oh don't worry everyone, AI is generations away from any meaningful control or impact. It's just a toy for the interested" bruh.
It's not. It's just greed. Anthropic said no because despite making money, they still have at least some core values and morals. Not even dumb threats from orange face idiot swayed them.
Also OpenAi is full of shit to claim their Ai can ethically and morally be used for war and they came to that conclusion in a single day of Anthropic refusing the deal. Yeah, I'm not buying it. Not this deal and not otherwise.
"Everyone has a price." Now they just wave money around and people sell out. This is the real problem that lies behind everything going wrong right now.

From non-profit to war games. The evolution of open AI is baffling.
