It's funny to me to read now about employees of OpenAI being coerced or tricked or whatever. Didn't they threaten to resign en masse a few months ago, in total unquestioned support of Sam Altman? They pretty much walked into it, in my opinion.

That's not saying anything OpenAI or Altman do is excusable, no way. I just feel like there's almost no good guys in this story.

Well appropriately enough it was an AI movie that taught as a valuable lesson, namely that sometimes the only correct move is not to play.

It's such an insidious idea that we ought to accept that you can just give up your promises you explicitly made once those rules get into your way of doing exactly what they were supposed to prevent. That's not anyone else's problem, that was the point! The people that can't do that are supposed to align AI? They can't align themselves

I wish more people didn't expect an alternative before getting rid if a bad situation. Sometimes subtraction, rather than replacement, is still the right answer.

I'll bet Emmett Shear would've been a fine CEO.
