> “Metrics around engagement or the performance of AI models are so highly prioritised that ethics-related recommendations that might negatively affect those metrics require irrefutable quantitative evidence,” the report said. When OpenAI decided it needed more money in order to scale, the course for the industry was pretty much set. They thought they were still the most responsible and ethical AI researchers, but that in order to set the direction of AI development and make it responsible and ethical, they needed to grow faster than they could grow by being responsible and ethical. At a certain point (maybe a point in the past?) they'll realize they're a SaaS company and just lean into being Google, that other company that was going to be humane and develop ethical AI, and did so by turning into an adtech company with a phone. Not that OpenAI will serve advertisements, they'll chart their own path toward the north star of maximum money for investors. And at some point, hopefully not too late, we'll all realize that To Serve Man was a cookbook.
