The more relevant part is probably "OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that AGI ... benefits all of humanity". The statement "it would be consistent with the company mission to destroy …

It is a correct statement, not really "borderline narcissistic". The board's mission is to help humanity develop safe beneficial AGI. If the board thinks that the company is hinder…

I thought so originally too, but when I thought about their perspective, I realized I would probably sign too. Imagine that your CEO and leadership has led your company to the top …

According to this tweet thread[1], they negotiated hard for Sam to be off the board and Adam to stay on. That indicates, at least if we're being optimistic, that the current board …

I think it actually isn't that easy. Compared to your example, the difference is that OpenAI's for-profit is getting outside money from Microsoft, not money from non-profit OpenAI.…

One funny thing about this mess is that "Team Helen" has never mentioned anything about safety, and Emmett said "The board did not remove Sam over any specific disagreement on safe…

They didn't actually leave, they just signed the pledge threatening to. Furthermore, they mostly signed after the details of the Microsoft offer were revealed.

Adam is likely still on the "decel" faction (although it's unclear whether this is an accurate representation of his beliefs) so I wouldn't really say they lost yet. I'm not sure w…

Not only that, consider the situation now, where Sam has returned as CEO. The ones who didn't sign will have some explaining to do. The safest option was to sign the paper, once th…

"Context on the negotiations to bring Sam back as CEO of OpenAI: The biggest sticking point was Sam being on the board. Ultimately, he conceded to not being on the board, at least …

Sam lost his board representation as a result of all this (though maybe that's temporary). I believe the goal of the opposing faction was mainly to avoid Sam dominating board and t…

No one really knows who was responsible for what. But Sam agreed to this deal over the Microsoft alternative, so probably Adam isn't that bad.

Sounds like a compromise. The previous board thought Sam was trying to get full control of the board, so they ousted him. But of course they weren't happy with OpenAI being destroy…

I think the middle ground where several of the OpenAI board members were trying for is to "responsibly develop AGI", which means developing at a moderate pace while trying to avoid…

>how having a GPT store makes AGI destroying the world easier The argument in general is that the more commercial interest there is in AI, the more money gets invested and the fast…

It sounds like your argument is "Even if OpenAI did something bad, Helen should never write about it, because she is part of OpenAI". Or, that she should write her paper in the fir…

Also of note, this comment by Sam's verified reddit account describing the con as "child's play": ( https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3cs78i/comment/c... )

This sounds convincing, especially considering this story where Sam Altman was involved in a "long con" to seize board control of Reddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/commen…

It's important because right now everyone, OpenAI employees included, has no idea why Sam Altman was fired. And now we're being told that we may or may not hear the reason in 30 da…

If for-profits were so good, then they probably would've implemented the software you like and you would never need to use any nonprofit stuff. Not to say that nonprofits are flawl…

"that the process and communications around Sam’s removal has been handled very badly" The communication was bad (sudden Friday message about not being candid) but he doesn't menti…

He was powerful enough to get put on the board of OpenAI. But I agree that he wants to be a "great" person, above Steve Jobs and Musk and the rest, and he sees AGI as the path to g…

I think that if Sam had followed the typical VC/Startup playbook (and he even wrote one), he never would have joined OpenAI, a nonprofit based on totally unproven tech at the time.…

Being the guy who built AGI will alter the timeline the most, so I think he'll be much more interested in that than being CEO of Microsoft.

I imagine Sam's vision, both before and after this company change, is that he'll keep improving GPTs, while also setting up a thriving ecosystem through APIs, and AI will become a …
