It's certainly possible. I can't read minds. But his statements on these issues sound more to me like "Yes, this is really dangerous stuff and we're taking a huge risk in developing it, but too bad! You can't stop us."
I don't know that I agree with this strategy, but I can respect that it's a consistent viewpoint.
So what I hear from him is "Yes, this is dangerous stuff, and we're trying our hardest to make it safe, but we can't control everyone, so we need regulation ASAP because market forces are going to push everyone to race and release unsafe AIs".
> I can respect that it's a consistent viewpoint.
I don't think I agree that there's a great deal of consistency between that stated perspective and what OpenAI is actually doing. It's also, conveniently, a point of view that allows him to keep doing what he wants to do, and making bank by doing it.
Understand, I'm not saying he's a bad actor. I'm saying that it's hard to rule that out. From his WorldCoin stuff to this, there is plenty of reason to be suspicious of his motives.
