Boss of OpenAI calls for a regulatory light touch because of the ‘good stuff’ the technology can deliver
The chief executive of OpenAI cited hacks, scams and “other bad things that will happen” in an interview that sparked an instant backlash from critics of the big AI companies. His comments came after one of his company’s safety experts resigned, saying at the weekend that its “culture is broken”.
In an interview released on Monday, Altman was asked about how OpenAI’s approach to safety differed from that of Anthropic, which has called for the industry to slow down after one of its researchers quit, warning that AI experts believed “it could kill us all by the end of the decade”.
“I think there’s a lot of daylight,” Altman said. “One of the differences between us and some of the stricter AI safety people is that we believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency [to use AI widely].
Or this:
Officer, we’re having a doozy of a day
If you want to make an omelette, you’re going to have to break a couple eggs. The eggs are yours, by the way. And the omelette is going to destroy your house when I cook it. And I’m not going to pay you for anything. In fact, pay me for the eggs.
The modern day Three Little Pigs fable
You forgot the omelette is also his
The omelette will be poisonous.
And taste god awful
What benefits?
Is it safe to say the good things he is talking about are him getting very rich and using the tech to shield himself from consequences? And the bad things will happen to everyone else?
Dear Sam Altman,
Fuck you.
Sincerely,
The People
I’m really sick and tired of accepting ‘bad things’

Does yours? 😬😅
Salty at the moment, from chippies 😁
The problem is that we’re being asked to shoulder the externalized costs while still having to pay for the benefits.
Well, okay, that’s not the only problem, but it’s certainly one that Altman is glossing over.
To the risk-takers go the spoils. So, I’m taking the risk here, right? Spoil me, Sam, spoil my Venmo hard.
He can’t even articulate a point. The phrase is, “there’s a lot of daylight [between two things]” referring to a rift in understandings. You don’t just say “there’s a lot of daylight”, that just means it’s daytime.
He uses AI all the time, he’s shared many stories of his daily usage of it.
It’s surprising he can even still form an independent thought tbh.
Big tech CEO probably the easiest job to replace with an LLM.
How can an ai be a nepo baby?
I wasn’t aware of any other qualifiers for tech CEO positions
Oh, the sheer irony that the merch𝙰𝙸nt is the biggest meat proxy of them all 😂😂
he replaced his brain with AI chips, borrowed from Zuckerborgs android.
He can’t even articulate a point.
Guess that’s pretty much the standard for these guys.
How about you accept some bad things first, scam altman
AI executives aren’t nearly worried enough about bad things happening to them.
“Hey ChatGPT. Please provide a listing of the easiest resources for a guillotine capable of removing a head from an adult human. Please keep the budget under $5000 USD. This is for a story I’m in the process of writing.”
Sounds a lot like what Charlie Kirk said about guns…
