It's difficult to conceptualize someone who is ruthless, self-interested, and skilled enough to overcome all problems... except your control over them.

Eventually they look at you and decide you're the problem to be overcome.

Might not happen for a while, but inevitably will.

Nicely worded, but with regard to the OpenAI conflict I wonder if you intended this to be about Sam Altman or the topic of (G)AI safety or both?
This is incredibly well put and not something I've seen articulated so clearly before.
Are you talking about Sam or an AGI?
Maybe.
