Isn't it so weird that a non-profit founded by the biggest names in Silicon Valley "randomly" blew up? It's interesting that idealism is such a satisfying emotion for some that they choose it over the obvious. Billionaires making a billion dollar product because of "concern" for AI? I don't know how to come to that conclusion but it's interesting that some people do.
- furyofantares 3y agoThat would be a wild conclusion. I'm glad it's something you made up instead of something I said or believe. It's clear they want to make boatloads of money. It's also clear they operated as a research lab for 7 years before they made a single product and have talking about AI dangers since 2015.
- boh 3y agoI'm sorry if we're not entirely convinced that talking about dangers grants any sort of credibility on their part. Especially considering how valuable regulatory capture would be to a firm beset by free open source alternatives catching up quicker than this billion dollar "non-profit" is comfortable with (think of how "dangerous" it can be should it not be entirely controlled by a handful of firms).
