I am taking their mission statement seriously even though I am seriously skeptical about AGI. But they don't take their mission statement with any seriousness.
I have no doubt their mission is serious. It's dead serious. That's why they are willing to steal without a single drop of concern for the people's who's lifes they are affecting. And have no issue gaslighting people into thinking that's ok. "Because AI learns just like humans". At the end of the day, after decades of works all they have to show for a procedural bullshit generator. I'd be desperate to show progress too. Still, I wouldn't steal.
