OpenAI just replaced its core values with completely different ones

&quot;Completely different&quot;? All of the new values listed are practically synonyms of the former (with the exception of the &quot;AGI focus&quot; addition).<p>This article is clickbait at best

If the intelligence is by definition artificial, why not the core values as well?<p>&quot;Intense and scrappy,&quot; &quot;Scale,&quot; &quot;Make something people love,&quot; and &quot;Team spirit,&quot; sound like values the San Francisco Giants are looking for in a new manager. I hope so, anyway.

As bad as I want to read past the first paragraph, it’s not even worth it to spend another second on this ad-ridden website.

The are now part of the borg collective, Microsoft.<p>OpenAI, LinkedIn, Activision Blizzard King, GitHub... many worlds have fallen to the borg.

The Party said that Oceania had never been in alliance with Eurasia. He, Winston Smith, knew that Oceania had been in alliance with Eurasia as short a time as four years ago. But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his own consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated.

I get why the AI community is disappointed in OpenAI and skeptical of WorldCoin.<p>But what if they are right on AGI - it&#x27;s here, soon.<p>If there is going to be a winner in the &#x27;AI race&#x27;, doesn&#x27;t society want the company that &#x27;wins&#x27; to have values similar to OpenAI&#x27;s stated values?<p>OpenAI&#x27;s competitors (Google, Anthropic, etc) are for-profit organizations, their values are shareholder profits.<p>Now I&#x27;m not arguing OpenAI will perfectly implement their stated goals. I&#x27;m sure it&#x27;ll get messy.<p>But all things being equal, we know the for-profit guys will accrue profits at the expense of society, and OpenAI has <i>stated</i> the opposite.<p>Is there anyone else more credible offering better ideas?

And, this is news?<p>Companies&#x27; core value is &quot;make money fast and repeatable&quot;.<p>Anything else is just window dressing to get employees to work for you and get customers to buy from you. And as companies hit the top of the sigmoid curve, they will crank every lever to extract smaller amounts of profit, while cannibalizing what made them special (hello enshittification).

Happy to see OpenAI embrace direct doxastic voluntarism.

This isn&#x27;t unusual for a startup. It isn&#x27;t even something completely new, it&#x27;s just a refinement.

Any group who&#x27;s core values do not include Integrity is a group to steer clear of.

The real question would be why anyone cares about empty mission statements like this anyway?<p>Parsing them for meaning is nearly as useful as parsing your morning bowel movement to predict your day.

Given that it&#x27;s still Sam Altman, and his core value are &quot;we market towards what will make us money&quot;, not all that different. The term &quot;AI&quot; has run its course, initially pulling in capital left and right, and that&#x27;s drying up now that open source can do what the big boys came up with, too. So: rename the work to AGI, start a new hype train, and get the capital streams flowing anew.
