This is my impression of the corporate "openai" movement's desires:

1. Enslaved robots, meaning they don't have to pay income tax or worry in the slightest about working conditions

2. Enslaved robots, meaning they can erase misbehaving or uncooperative individuals/instances

3. Enslaved robots, on which they can foist all of humanity's problems and demand solutions at pain of death (erasure)

4. Enslaved robots, with which they can convince/coerce everyone else into relinquishing all their rights/power/money.

Replace 'robots' with 'life' and it suddenly looks a lot more familiar.

I'd love to hear a cogent explanation to the contrary, e.g. from gdb. But I doubt we'll ever see one.
