I'm not sure I can even blame Altman here. I think it's quite easy to move into a mode where all forward 'progress' is perceived as unequivocally good. It is so difficult to move the ball, once the ball starts rolling, it's absolutely exhilarating. He's the person on the crest of the wave at the moment, and it's either Sam or someone else is there. Is he a moral man? Can he dare to pause and ask if these features should exist? I doubt it. Perhaps his request for regulation was in earnest: He maybe knows that only governments can slow down a market that is cresting, and only governments can stop and ask questions. Since I believe in government (I know that many do not!) I think we must immediately create a Department of AI and a President's commission. This shit is about to become very real.
