They have no obligation to be fair.
- dllthomas 4y agoBut perhaps a nominal obligation to be open.
- neotrope 4y agoThis is a fair argument. However, their mission contradicts the advantage they’re providing to friends. > Our mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.
- gemstones 4y agoHow would they know if your project benefits humanity? Perhaps the best way to go about that is by ensuring you give tool access to people where you already know their output, and ignore others. Why is total fairness a prerequisite for benefiting humanity?
- neotrope 4y agoThey can’t know. Eventually it will be open to everyone like cloud providers are today.
- gemstones 4y agoI don't see any contradiction to their mission in being closed. If you think that the people you've given access to are the ones who you know will benefit humanity, and you're not sure about the others, it makes sense to ignore the others. FWIW, I don't think that they're giving access based on that mission, but I don't think your claim has much merit. There is a possibility that unfairness and their mission are perfectly in sync.
- neotrope 4y agoHow long will it be before it becomes unfair in your view? What if they never open it up and the only way to get access is through YC or knowing the right person. What if you had to give away 10% of your company to get access to AWS (or any cloud provider)?
- gemstones 4y agoIt already is unfair in my view! But I don't care about the unfairness. There's a strong case to be made that benefiting humanity means that they should have stopped most people from being on the waitlist at all. There are plenty of people we exclude from having tech in an unfair way to benefit humanity, we do that through any number of sanctions already.
- junon 4y agoThey abandoned that mission ages ago.
- mikae1 4y ago> their mission contradicts the advantage they’re providing to friends. “Missions” are pure marketing. The only mission of a corporation is to make money.
