You get my point. With all due respect to Sam's technical abilities, if I'd have to choose one to make AI/AGI I'd clearly go with Ilya.
The fact that Sam goes to Microsoft doesn't mean all OpenAI is moves to Microsoft. That is the point I'm trying to make
For me the real danger of AGI (even aligned), fast forward in some future where robotics are similarly advanced to create full human motion replacement, is that it will dilute if not completely replace human work, ANY kind. And the real danger doesn't come from AGI itself, comes from the psychopaths having control of it.
Non-profit org man. We still don't know what happened and their actions might align to their mission.
Weird how quite a few people with your narrative mistake it for a for-profit company.
He may have no choice but to try to play this card at this point? The stakes are pretty high I suppose. You don't just give up such level of potential control over this tech.
The amount of money and power their products might offer makes it pretty desirable. Theoretically there should be no limit to the amount and type of shenanigans that are possible in this particular situation.
