    You’re wrong on point #1. This isn’t being done per Sam Altman for commercial purposes. It’s being done per Microsoft in an attempt to remove the OpenAI board completely. Facebook recently shutdown its AI Ethics division.

    All of this is happening in conjunction with each other. Large corporations are trying to privatize AI and using key personnel in the industry to make it seem like a good thing. This wasn’t just Sam Altman. Whoever drafted the letter demanding the board steps down is working with Microsoft to do this.

    More than likely, that group went around spreading doomsday to the other employees in an attempt to scare them into fleeing the company.

    Sam Altman is just a pawn.

      Facebook recently shutdown its AI Ethics division.

      Meta is the only player that’s releasing its models to public. Ironically, it is the one being the most ethical in the AI space right now.

      “AI Ethics” teams in the Silicon Valley are nothing but rent-seeking doomer cults that leech off on the effort of others and hold back progress with bullshit gatekeeping. There was not a single positive contribution Facebook’s AI “ethics” team ever made.
