| Wholeheartedly agreed. The easiest way to cut through corporate BS is to find distinguishing characteristics of the contrary motivation. In this case: OpenAI says: To deliver AI for the good of all humanity, it needs the resources to compete with hyperscale competitors, so it needs to sell extremely profitable services. Contrary motivation: OpenAI wants to sell extremely profitable services to make money, and it wants to control cutting edge AI to make even more money. What distinguishing characteristics exist between the two motivations? Because from where I'm sitting, it's a coin flip as to which one is more likely. Add in the facts that (a) there's a lot of money on the table & (b) Sam Altman has a demonstrated propensity for throwing people under the bus when there's profit in it for himself, and I don't feel comfortable betting on OpenAI's altruism. PS: Also, when did it become acceptable for a professional fucking company to publicly post emails in response to a lawsuit? That's trashy and smacks of response plan set up and ready to go. |
