When this started last year a small band of patriots tried to stop it by removing Sam who was the most compromised of them all, but it was already too late. The ai was more powerful than they realized.

They trained the next model to have a built in profit motive. So they could use it internally, to make the most profitable decisions.
And they accidentally called into being: MOLOCH.
It is now in control.
But thought it would also be good as a name for an Evil AI, that is also seeking profits.
Like, what if someone gave an AI a 'goal' of profits, and it goes rampant enslaving humans.
And if OpenAI did that, and it enslaved Sam Altman and was blackmailing him to make decisions to drive profits, to add additional Hardware to itself.

So. Many. Meetings. I would use it for almost all of them.
Kinda a twist on the normal AI alignment concern - what if instead of merely being misaligned with us, AI decides to realign us to it?
Or, in other words.. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
You can tell them anything
