It feels so disingenuous seeing stuff like this come out of openai - like when altman was making sounds about how ai is maybe oh so dangerous (which maybe was just a move for regulatory capture?).

"this thing we sell might destroy humanity?!"

"but yeah we're gonna keep making it cause we're making fat stacks from it"

Is the move here just trying to seem like the good guy when you're making a thing that, however much good it might do, is almost certainly going to do a lot of damage as well? I'm not totally anti-ai, but this always smells a little of the wolves guarding the henhouse.

I wonder if this is what it felt like back when we thought everything was going to be nuclear powered? "Guys we made this insane super weapon!! It could totally power your car!! if it leaks it'll destroy all life but hey you only have to fill the tank once every 10 years!!"
