I have kind of mixed feelings about that. I never felt very comfortable with having Microsoft basically running the AI show in practice. I am just a human, and Microsoft as a company got the misanthropic DNA from Bill, and seems too eager to me to embark in a crusade to destroy middle-class professions (included, but not restricted to programming). Yeah, I've got it that at this point of the road I am senior enough that AI, at least for some time, won't be a threat to my unemployability, but rather a multiplier of my productivity, but a) This can and will change soon, and maybe before I retire. b) You have to think about people that are just starting in a profession that probably is the least one to promote some kind of social mobility. On the hand, by principle, I abhor this kind of politics, backstabbing and mobbing. I prefer when people dispute in the open, not in a passive-aggressive way. This is too much toxic to my tastes. And in the end, if the goals are to promote safety, it will probably backfire. It is obvious that there will be plenty of capital for whatever venture Sam decides to start, and that he will easily pouch lots of current OpenAI employees to go unfettered in the direction OpenAI boards fear. Hell, for all we know, he could just end in Microsoft, and then we are all fucked.
