They claim their mission is to ensure that AGI benefits all humanity. What a preposterous lie.

I remember asking myself when ChatGPT was launched: "why would any sane person massively deploy such a thing?"

It's the money and the power, stupid.

OpenAI doesn't have any mission. To have a mission means to serve a purpose. To serve means to have higher values than money and power. And yeah, there is a hierarchy of values. The closest statement I can accept is "we will try to get all of humanity addicted to our models, and we couldn't care less about the consequences".

Wanna know why they'll lose? Because they'll get addicted too.
