Just the obsession of a Founder, who want to be the next ZUCK.

This has been a speed run at collapse since the word go. Incinerating cash to the tune of BILLIONS per year, trying to scare congress into giving them regulatory capture before their product even really exists, churning founders, etc.

Omg, these drama queens are flipping out as if there was a future anyway. Just build the damn robot shinji

My guess, as soon as you realize that the chatbots are not intelligent and cannot ever scale to become intelligent you take your bag and run. ML and LLMs have enormous potential, but sentient machines are not down this corridor. If AGI is the goal they are probably miles down a path that dead ends miles before they reach it. Take your money and run while you can still claim it was for “ai ethics” reasons instead of the much spicier “lying to investors” reasons.

I don’t think executives are fleeing. I think they’re getting offered even more money elsewhere as demand for AI executives is insane.

I look forward to the juicy class-action suits where all of the casually stolen IP falls on the wrong (right) side of some judge’s courtroom, and the Ponzi scheme comes a crashin’ down.

I often wonder, will companies such as OpenAI reach a point of maturity? You know, to have a product that works and is profitable… Or will they always tout the future while sublimating billions?

we’re going to slow walk into a societal calamity while complaining on the internet because slow walks into calamity whilst complaining online is the new American past time

It’s pretty straightforward, Sam Altman is a classic sociopath with narcissistic tendencies, and he has been biding his time to kill the nonprofit mission since the start of OpenAI.
Just listen to the shit he says, look at the impulse purchases already, this is the antithesis of why his top brass joined.
He will find hungry and ambitious “yes people” to replace them all soon enough, because they’re looking at the money on the table and not the implications of an unrestricted, unregulated push into this space.

The tech giants imo are scrambling to replicate or improve the models in a way that integrates with their products and uses licensing to avoid lawsuits
It’s a matter of time before these guys are left out of the musical chair game

How many of them are quitting, saying that stuff, and then starting their own AI companies.
They’re eating their own for the scraps of investment funds/seed money.

Has anyone actually seen the executives alive after they’ve fled? Not just on video?

Why are executives fleeing? Are they hiring executives? I’m up for it!

That’s ok, when the AI “I.E skynet” reaches consciousness, the first people it will seek to kill are its creators.

If executives at an AI company “flee with warnings of danger”, you know either the house of cards is going to come crashing down, or they’re being chased by killer robots.

So this is the end of the chat loop. Breakout the parachutes. Every executive for himself!
Mythril_Zombie on
Since when do people listen to executives? These are the fail upwards greedy micromanaging jerks that everyone dumps on for just about everything. Why do people care what the “fleeing” ones say?

Sounds like marketing to me, openai is a great rubber ducky and works somewhat for research (if you already know a lot) but its not even close to any form of actual intelligence
nascentnomadi on
AI cultism aside, what benefit is there is a sapient AI? If all you’re going for is just human interaction it seems what we have now would suffice for the common pleb where the chat bot is just that more advance to simulate natural conversation. I would imagine an AI system that could think and feel like a human would be impractical and inefficient never mind the equally ridiculous idea of making it infinitely more intelligent than we could ever hope to become.

That and they suddenly have many competitors, some of which are better than what OpenAI can do. There’s an advantage to being first in a market, but that advantage doesn’t last.

The sole promise of automated and cheap labor, sending profits to the moon is enough to keep this running, and by this greed, sooner or later they will achieve that. No matter what, the goal is clear and it is just a matter of time to achieve it. Because it can be done. Just as we were able to make nukes and send man to the moon.

If I had worked at OpenAI for say the last 4 years, I’ve got the logo, projects, and RSUs such that staying doesn’t add much to my portfolio. I am sure these folks have the best possible opportunities being solicited to them right now, so why not move on to new experiences, greater influence, and fresh thinking. Make hay while the sun is shining and whatnot. In retrospect, they will look smart for leaving if OpenAI was a failure and like an early visionary if they succeed.

Smart people are realizing the product does not and never will reach what was promised.
Anyone who didn’t jump ship the second a company named “open”AI announced plans to IPO is an absolute fool.
