NYT interviews former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (11/20/23)

&gt;Kevin Roose: The theory that I heard attached to this was that you are secretly an accelerationist, a person who wants A.I. to go as fast as possible, and that all this careful diplomacy that you’re doing and asking for regulation — this is really just the sort of polite face that you put on for society. But deep down you just think we should go all gas, no brakes toward the future.<p>&gt;Sam Altman: No, I certainly don’t think all gas, no brakes toward the future.<p>Oh great, what a relief :^)

This interview itself was done last week right, before the drama this weekend? But published today.

This post title shouldn&#x27;t say &quot;11&#x2F;20&#x2F;23&quot; which implies the interview was today. It was done last Wednesday 11&#x2F;15.

&gt; Sam Altman: I believe that this will be the most important and beneficial technology humanity has yet invented. And I also believe that if we’re not careful about it, it can be quite disastrous. And so we have to navigate it carefully.<p>Nice, what is that, only 25% chance we all encounter destruction instead? Everyone else want on this train? Oh, that&#x27;s right, we don&#x27;t have a choice, it&#x27;s up to them.

Isn’t it just their rehashing from reading Hacker News followed by interview with Altman from long ago (early last week)?

Four days later this continues and all the parties involved are intelligent professional adults?<p>Personally after four days of this middle to High school b.s. they all coming off as a bunch whiney ego maniac morons<p>Can anyone name another company backed by billions that has acted like this before and how will they continue to act as an organization..answer they should all go there separate ways! Morons! This is a ship show and all their employees can&#x27;t see this? They are hypnotize by these morons (in their behavior and actions) tech stardust? Awesome product but the ppl behind it omg!!<p>Most likely someone with lots of money is behind this ..Altman if he has any self respect for himself the best way forward is to take all the employees to work with him under Microsoft. Stop flailing back n forth it&#x27;s making u look moronic..a lack of self respect(a leader has to bE respected). The big money person behind all of this needs their ass handed to them via Altman taking all the employees to Microsoft except those on the board who allowed this. They spit on Altman and any leader should immediately scorch the ground of those behind it ...leave them In the dust!
