If OpenAI employees have an inch of spine left, they better demand Sama to take the same stance on this as Dario. No mass surveillance and no autonomous weapons

  Well just at look who Brockman donated too - he didnt give 25 freaking million to help end the surveillance state he gave it to Trump and co https://gizmodo.com/openai-president-defends-trump-donations-refuses-to-comment-on-ice-2000721451 https://gizmodo.com/openai-president-defends-trump-donations...

Sam would sell his mom to make $0.50. Pretty sure he will be willing to do whatever the Pentagon wants.

  I always hear this view of Altman, but then why does he have no equity in OpenAI? What’s the greedy master plan there?

    He might get 5 to 10% in the restructuring that's underway. That would be 25 to 50 billion dollars

      I thought that restructuring finished in the fall, and he still didn't get any equity?

You have to be a craven, hollowed out husk of a person if you let the DoD demand your AI be used for killing people or surveillance of Americans. Even if you believe America serves a positive role as world police, even if you're pro-Trump, you just have to see what a terrible precedent this sets. Here's where I would expect the CEOs of the other AI labs to stand by Anthropic and say no.

Anthropic was founded when a bunch of OpenAI employees left after sama abandoned it's AI safety mission. So no, that's not going to happen.

Many of the OpenAI employees with an inch of spine already left - guess who founded Anthropic?
