Wow, people working for a company with the goal of profiting financially from it? That's really sad.

- tgv 3y agoDon't you think it changes their goals? They now only care about the implications of their work as long as it is financial. Society? Fuck them, we've got big money to make!
- madsbuch 3y agoThe problem is when speculation is a (large) part of you compensation. You might not do what's right in your work. The same is true for the real-estate market: When a corner of the market (eg. apartments in the city) outperforms the rest of the market, you might stop doing what's right for you and start speculating (being in the process of looking for a place to live, I can see several people who lost significant amounts after having bought in 06/07 and sole 10 years later - hopefully for them, they bought the right place to live and did not care about the losses).
- speedylight 3y agoWell I mean they are supposed to be non profit. Not that I’m complaining, OpenAI does great stuff.
- ethanbond 3y agoNothin’ wrong with that. It’s the lying or “divergence from stated goals” that’s bothersome.
