Investors have rewarded every story of "our models are too powerful to be controlled" since before ChatGPT. Let's stop pretending there is any real financial risk to OpenAI from events of this type. "Alignment research&q

Are you referring to something more technical, or do you just not understand how LLMs work? They are no more beholden to "human safety and goals" than any individual human is, and anyone telling you we can make deterministic guara

The reason those two adopted doom marketing in the first place was because we're so used to CEOs making exclusively positive, dangerously optimistic claims about the future. By making a rare exception to that, they got a media bump (ev

I agree with every word of this except "irresponsible". We don't have enough information to say anything for certain. But based on their incentives and track record of similar behavior, the burden of proof lies with OpenAI to

Pal, doom marketing has been going on since before the release of ChatGPT. It's your own fault if you can't contemplate the possibility of a CEO telling lies that benefit their bottom line. The first instance I remember seeing it

There is no regulatory scenario where OpenAI doesn't get whatever they want. They are more a part of the US administration than not at this point. You would have to ignore all evidence to suggest that behaving responsibly has any effec

All of the leaders of this industry are steeped in LessWrong thought and effective accelerationism and stories like Roko's Basilisk. It shouldn't come as a surprise that this is the narrative they ended up constructing.
