I am curious how long it will take for Sam to go from being perceived as a hero to a villain and then on to supervillain.
Even if they had a massive, successful and public safety team, and got alignment right (which I am highly doubtful about being possible) it is still going to happen as massive portions of white collar workers loose their jobs.
Mass protests are coming and he will be an obvious focus point for their ire.
He's already perceived by some as a bit of a scoundrel, if not yet a villain, because of World Coin. I bet he'll hit supervillain status right around the time that ChatGPT BattleBots storm Europe.
He probably already knows that, but doesn't care as long as OpenAI has captured the world's attention with ChatGPT generating them billions and their high interest in destroying Google.

This is going to age well.
Given that no-one knows the definition of AGI, then AGI can mean anything; even if it means 'steam-rolling' any startup, job, etc in OpenAI's path.
No need to fret over the harm to future innovation when I innovation is an industrial product.
