Sam doesn't have much financial upside from OpenAI (reportedly, he doesn't have any equity).

And he wrote about the risk in 2015 months before OpenAI was founded: https://blog.samaltman.com/machine-intelligence-part-1 https://blog.samaltman.com/machine-intelligence-part-2

Fine if you disagree with his arguments, but why assume you know what his motivation is?

I find it highly unlikely that he has less upside than the employees who also don’t have equity, but do have profit participation units.
