Nonprofits make a social contract, purporting to operate for the public good, not profit.

Trust that their operations are indeed benefiting the public and they are acting truthfully is important for making that social contract work.

Shady companies doing shady things and keeping shady records doesn't incentivize any type of market participants -- investors, consumers, philanthropists.

This is obvious (though I disagree that there is a social contract, and if there is, it's worth the paper it's printed on) and everybody is aware what a nonprofit is. But your reply still doesn't answer my question. Another way of asking it is: how many other non-profits have you audited for trustworthiness before this conversation? What was the impact of your audit?

Or is saying "we can no longer trust Sam Altman" just us twiddling our thumbs so we can signal our virtue to others or comfort ourselves in our own powerlessness? In less than a decade he'll have an army of humanoid sentient robots and probably be the wealthiest person on the planet, and we'll still be yelling "we can no longer trust him"?

That you disagree there is a social contract is unsurprising. You strike me as the type to be unaware of social norms.

I've evaluated the veracity and sincerity of many nonprofits and for profit corporations alike.

I have no idea what you're on about regarding sentient robots.

You have a weird way of talking to strangers. But, you know what they say about assumptions.

> I have no idea what you're on about regarding sentient robots.

So you're ignorant about both the state and purpose of OpenAI's research as well as the state of the art in robotics. So why am I even talking to an ignorant person? smh.

Thanks for your effort though.

You quoted something I didn't write?

Regarding the robots and ignorance. You honestly sound a bit unhinged. You ought to touch grass.

> You honestly sound a bit unhinged.

smh. Is that the best you've got or do you have a useful answer to my initial question?

Do you always walk around insulting strangers? It seems like you need the grass you love to recommend so much. It will help you more than anyone else.

[NewJazz]

What initial question? It seems like you are confusing threads (again).

Is that a pun about cannabis?

I just don't think Sam Altman is gonna be the guy to command a droid army, and I also don't think they'll look humanoid, and I also think us saying he is a dipshit in public helps undermine his efforts to waste vital resources pursuing that dystopia that he may or may not want and almost certainly won't meaningfully achieve.

Maybe we're just operating on different assumptions. And maybe we have different goals. Perhaps I'm just replying to weigh down the conversation and thread, dilute Altman's profiteering propaganda.
