Exxon executives in the 80s disbelieved in climate change, too, despite reports from their internal "safety" teams that it was going to be a big problem.
Forget Climate Change, there's a reason the saying, "safety regulations are written in blood" exist. It's not that nobody ever forsees these issues, it's that people have a tendency to not care about future issues until they become present issues, no matter how sound the warning.
Nobody except these execs know if they're really disillusioned with the AGI Fantasy or if they just don't care about stalling business. As things stand, Open AI's charter incentivizes downplaying AGI for business gains.
- asadotzler 2y agoThey didn't disbelieve in climate change. They knew it was happening because their own scientists told them and so they canned half of those scientists, promoted the other half to generate bullshit "science" to counter the earlier reports and give the executives an excuse for their board and continued greed.
