This has been an insane, slow, public descent into everything they promised not to do, it’s so crazy to have seen people inside try to stop it

It's all part of the long con.
Its a bit much to ask for people, in the face of such exceptional wealth prospects, to stay steadfast in their initial commitment.
Excuse me but what sort of bullshit is this?

Anyone with sufficient intellectual power to grok building AI must be fully aware of the monetization value of the same. If you are navel gazing over AIG taking over humanity you must first step through the stage were capital and AI couple up.

So it is not too much to ask since others who also were aware of the inherent unwanted social distortions that was entirely predictable were relying on these individuals and "non-profit" organizations to actually live up to their claims.

As it is, it seems like a thinly disguised propaganda to recruit and benefit from altruistic and capable workers in the field to then have Sam Altman (and whoever is behind him $$$) to parachute and take over and say "oh well, you can'tn expect people to be truthful and have principles! What are ya, a chump?"

It is not much to expect people to be good people.
