'OpenAI, of course, has the word “open” right in its name, ... don’t expect me to share any proprietary information'

Yeah, Mr Aaronson just lost quite a bit of respect from my side. Going into AI is a great move, moving to the ClosedAI corporation.......? Why?

(Edit: Removed an outdated reference to Elon Musk, thanks @pilaf !)

Scott Aaronson adds the following in the comment on his blog post in response to a question about this:

> the NDA is about OpenAI’s intellectual property, e.g. aspects of their models that give them a competitive advantage, which I don’t much care about and won’t be working on anyway. They want me to share the research I’ll do about complexity theory and AI safety.

The latest huge AI models that may germinate into an AGI all come from private corporations, largely because of the requisite resources and currently there’re very few if any public or nonprofit AI-focused organizations with such resources.
> huge AI models that may germinate into an AGI

are science fiction.

Elon Musk left the board of OpenAI in 2018.
Much thanks, didn't know that, edited my comment.
