I wonder if the "benefiting humanity" bit is code for anti mil-tech. What if Sam wasn't being honest about a relationship with a consumer that weaponized OpenAI products against humans?
- dave4420 3y agoCould be. Or it could be about the alignment problem. Are they designing AI to prioritise humanity’s interests, or its corporate masters’ interests? One way is better for humanity, the other brings in more cash.
- superhumanuser 3y agoBut the board accused Sam of not being "consistently candid". Alignment issues could stand on their own ground for cause and would have been better PR too. Instead of the mess they have now.

- someNameIG 3y agoDid those talks have anything to do with mil-tech though?
- superhumanuser 3y agoUnless the mil-tech was going to their enemies.
- 0xDEF 3y agoI don't think anyone at OpenAI was planning to give mil-tech to Iran and Iranian proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
- superhumanuser 3y agoYa. You're right. Time to let the theory die.
- kromem 3y agoThat's a pretty big leap of logic there.
- 0xDEF 3y agoIsrael is a heavily militarized country. The country would not be able to exist without the latest military tech. Ilya flirting with the tech scene of Israel is a very good indicator that he is not anti mil-tech.
- kromem 3y agoYour first two sentences would also apply to the US. Does that mean any foreign scientist speaking at US universities advocates military applications of their work?
