I already said many times that I was reading between the lines and it was speculation.

You keep asking me to appeal to authority. No thanks.

It is what it is. To me, it’s clear that he wants things to go back to pre ChatGPT because that’s the world he’s familiar with and that’s the world he has most power.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t make such idiotic claims.

I don't. I just asked to do some research instead of indulging in wild speculation.

Again, just baseless speculation. Rob had a very prolific where he worked on foundational technologies like programming language design. He is now retired. What kind of power would he be afraid to lose?

Would you at least consider the possibility that his ethical concerns might be sincere?
