If your worldview is that people who disagree with you aren’t just wrong, but they actually secretly agree with you and are lying to themselves… how do we know

If your worldview is that people who disagree with you aren’t just wrong, but they actually secretly agree with you and are lying to themselves… how do we know you truly hold these beliefs and aren’t just lying to yourself? It’s not a great foundation for an argument. A far simpler explanation is that openai realizes they have the tiger by the tail and are intentionally over-indexing on safety because the marginal benefits of being just barely acceptable are not worth the risk of PR disaster and reputational harm. It is much easier to relax overzealous controls than it is to add controls to an under-constrained system. We don’t even have to bring the tautological “woke” term into it. They’re just minimizing business risk, and the fact that they’re doing so by trying to avoid associating AI with certain topics is triggering culture warriors.
