alt Hacker NewsI mean, yes..?
People who were part of the sausage factory, on gaining financial independence, feeling suddenly liberated to talk about how the sausage was made, seem like exactly the people who would be most able to speak to institutional problems.
This doesn't seem like an argument to discount their views?
I disagree. I have seen people with an actual spine and a conscience run away from all this nonsense before their first stock vested. My respect and my ear goes to them, not the people playing both sides.
You cannot take people, who first build the doombot and _then_ talk about it being dangerous for mankind, at face value. Especially when this playbook has been used multiple times within the past decade.
Besides, these "views" were already known to people who had their eyes and ears open. It's not something brand new. OpenAI has had multiple points in the past where its values have been tested and they've come out lacking. People who knew then, and only now talk about it, aren't people I can fully trust.
