Speaking for myself, I'm worried that this adventure might lead to human extinction (among other possible negative outcomes), and one of the points of making it a non-profit was to help remove some of the incentives to charge recklessly forward. To that extent, this seems like a step in the wrong direction.
- khazhoux 2y agoTotally fair POV. I get sense, every time this topic comes up, that people feel that OpenAI somehow owes them to remain non-profit.
- n_ary 2y agoI agree to most of your opinion but > I'm worried that this adventure might lead to human extinction Is buying into Sam’s marketing and selling dreams to MBAs. Recall that, crypto in last decade promised to make global current financial system and banks go extinct… Corona lockdowns were expected to be the new norm… IBM watson was going to solve cancer… we were supposed to go Nuclear+renewable… Internet was going to make everyone own their own little business… Uber was going to make gig economy lucrative… Facebook was going to cure the global loneliness… Theranos was… whelp. Marketers will beat up their drums, money will be made, innovations will go one. At this moment, at the risk of getting political, OpenAI is at much less potential to extinct human species compared to looming war in EU and ME.
- mitthrowaway2 2y agoMy opinion on this question wasn't formed based on anything that Sam or OpenAI has said on the topic, so I don't think I've been persuaded by their marketing.
