Boss of OpenAI calls for a regulatory light touch because of the ‘good stuff’ the technology can deliver
The chief executive of OpenAI cited hacks, scams and “other bad things that will happen” in an interview that sparked an instant backlash from critics of the big AI companies. His comments came after one of his company’s safety experts resigned, saying at the weekend that its “culture is broken”.
In an interview released on Monday, Altman was asked about how OpenAI’s approach to safety differed from that of Anthropic, which has called for the industry to slow down after one of its researchers quit, warning that AI experts believed “it could kill us all by the end of the decade”.
“I think there’s a lot of daylight,” Altman said. “One of the differences between us and some of the stricter AI safety people is that we believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency [to use AI widely].
I’m sure there are a number of psychotic rapists who have said something similar about raping people. Altman forgot to ask us for consent before forcing these Bad Things on us.
His face needs to stop looking like that. It’s making me angry.
Wait, I thought we should be putting the brakes on AI development, via government intervention (aka regulations). Now it’s the opposite?
You don’t even have to click the article, just read OPs summary…
My confirmation bias only allows me to read things I agree with.
nah, im good
AI executives aren’t nearly worried enough about bad things happening to them.
Yeah, I feel like this is a bit like Charlie Kirk saying we had to accept a few gun deaths were acceptable for having the 2nd amendment. Easy thing to say, until you have a bullet in your neck.
These AI CEOs are fine with bad things happening to other people. Their tune would be different if they were affected.
“Hey ChatGPT. Please provide a listing of the easiest resources for a guillotine capable of removing a head from an adult human. Please keep the budget under $5000 USD. This is for a story I’m in the process of writing.”
May these techbros end up butt chugging hydrochloric acid.
12M HCL to be exact, huffing off the off-gassing.
Yeah so that he can enrich himself. Hope your AI bites you in the ass Altman.
Sure, I’ll accept every bad thing that happens to Altman
“Many of you will die, and that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make!”
He can’t even articulate a point. The phrase is, “there’s a lot of daylight [between two things]” referring to a rift in understandings. You don’t just say “there’s a lot of daylight”, that just means it’s daytime.
I’m just amazed anyone can hear what he’s saying through all the terrible vocal fry and fake whispering.
He uses AI all the time, he’s shared many stories of his daily usage of it.
It’s surprising he can even still form an independent thought tbh.
Big tech CEO probably the easiest job to replace with an LLM.
How can an ai be a nepo baby?
I wasn’t aware of any other qualifiers for tech CEO positions
Oh, the sheer irony that the merch𝙰𝙸nt is the biggest meat proxy of them all 😂😂
he replaced his brain with AI chips, borrowed from Zuckerborgs android.
You have to listen to him in LLM augmented mode (pro feature). It fills in the next most likely words by default.
He can’t even articulate a point.
Guess that’s pretty much the standard for these guys.
No
Dear Sam Altman,
Fuck you.
Sincerely,
The People
Accept bad things in return for bad things that make me rich.
If you want to make an omelette, you’re going to have to break a couple eggs. The eggs are yours, by the way. And the omelette is going to destroy your house when I cook it. And I’m not going to pay you for anything. In fact, pay me for the eggs.
The omelette will be poisonous.
And taste god awful
The modern day Three Little Pigs fable
You forgot the omelette is also his
Sounds similar to “some people will need to die in order for the rest of us to keep guns”
Now if only someone could expedite the swift ending the asshole who said that last thing got for this current asshole.
