I resigned from OpenAI

Anybody who stays at openai is signing on to build machines that will be used to kill innocent people and control people who think that’s a bad idea.

In Germany it made it even to the general news https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/openai-manager...

So it wouldn't even be worth a HN submission. Well, I think it can still go under exception for exceptional news.

I have a hard time with this separation of “principle” from “people”. Isn’t it people who have principles?

Respect for standing up

Whatever happened to this all powerful non profit that would ensure OAI is doing right? Something tells me they just cashed in and run a corrupt shell at this point.

Always surprised when these "smart people" didn't see these things coming from several years away... Its honestly hard for me to believe it.

Going to work for these big SV corps is and always has been directly in service of US empire, that's literally what built the valley in the first place.

> I resigned from OpenAI. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together.

Good for Caitlin. Sam Altman is awful. He literally admitted on Twitter that they rushed their military contract to get it done. Are you kidding me? You rushed your military contract?

Any employee who stays, especially given the financial cushion they have, is complicit. Shame on all of them.

But here’s the sad truth: most of the knowledge workers at OpenAI won’t be of any value sometime soon because of the very tool they’re building.

If you don’t wanna upset your stomach, don’t make the mistake of reading the replies. What a cesspool of humanity X is.

Their justification rings hollow when they continue to use X.

That twitter post was clearly written by AI along with the instructions for the AI to avoid "tells" and other tropes common to AI.

Absolutely nothing wrong with something written with AI. Just pointing it out.
