Chris Olah and other leaders at Anthropic, OpenAI, and others would do well to consider the principles of Social Doctrine spelled out in the encyclical. The question they should ask themselves is how their corporations advance those principles.

Olah argues that "if we want this technology to go well, it is enormously important that there be people outside those incentives."

That sounds part hypocritical and part evasive; the responsibility starts with the people inside the incentives — with him.

If he says that it starts with him, it won't ring well because it doesn't structurally change anything and only looks like posturing.

"I promise to be a good guy" doesn't convey anything meaningful.

I'm not sure why you worry about how Chris Olah appears to others.

Talking is cheap, but even talk is better then the impotent call for "people outside."

It's not really impotent when he's referring to a very specific person who's the head of a religion with 1.3 billion adherents, is it? What is this but a moment when a person on the inside and a person on the outside of the incentives Olah mentions are coming together to talk about the same thing?
