>Kevin Roose: The theory that I heard attached to this was that you are secretly an accelerationist, a person who wants A.I. to go as fast as possible, and that all this careful diplomacy that you’re doing and asking for regulation — this is really just the sort of polite face that you put on for society. But deep down you just think we should go all gas, no brakes toward the future.

>Sam Altman: No, I certainly don’t think all gas, no brakes toward the future.

Oh great, what a relief :^)

...are you still been unable to realize that it was really just a politically motivated firing?

The example of "lack of candor" that Ilya provided was "Altman was said to have given two people at OpenAI the same project."

Hilarious how Hacker News is unable to understand that Ilya was just trying to grab power.
