Don't worry, I skimmed it and it mostly looks like clickbait anyway with no real substance worth noting.

i'd consider anything from nytimes and cnbnews clickbait trash that probably shouldn't make its way to HN

"Democracy dies in darkness." Even their slogan is doom and gloom. "If you don't buy our product, democracy will die."

It's an opinion piece, not sure about clickbait.

I'd summarize it as - "Sam Altman is an optimist about his ability to lead a for-profit entity and balance that w/ the original OpenAI mission of democratically advancing AI w/ safety in mind. Maureen Dowd thinks that a leader who is great at wooing investors, techies, and lawmakers, and increasingly is downplaying near-term AI risk, is a dangerous choice given the risks expressed by other AI experts."

It's a Maureen Dowd piece, if that helps you decide whether or not to drop it.
