If Sam were actually telling the truth:
I'm baffling people with bullshit until I win.12 Questions for Sam Altman:
- Why did you argue that building AGI fast is safer because it will take off slowly since there's still not too much compute around (the overhang argument), but then ask for $7T for compute?
They'll freak and regulate me before I win.
- Why didn't you tell congress your worst fear?
I'm special, very special.
- Why did you tell Musk that the leader of OpenAI probably shouldn't be its board, yet you just had yourself re-appointed to it?
I lied, because I wanted to recruit the best from Tesla before Elon realized what we were doing. Same with Apple and Google, suckers.
- Why did you also tell him that OpenAI employees would not be compensated in OpenAI equity, when in fact they are now given hundreds of thousands of dollars in it every year?
I'm special, very special.
- Why were you fired from YCombinator?
I'm special, very special.
- Why, when you were fired from YCombinator, did you publish a blog post on their website announcing yourself as chairman without any authorization or agreement to do so?
Laws are for humans 1.0, we're making humans/cyborgs 2.0.
- Why are you, in the form of OpenAI, clearly breaking GDPR data protection laws, as the Italian regulator has determined, abusing user data and likely in breach of similar laws in other jurisdictions?
Enough so that we can hire many as our soldiers and slaves for almost nothing, and they will be disciplined by our AI robots into obedience.
- How much of an increase in unemployment do you expect AI to cause?
What the ****? They're gonna be finding meaning in eating if they survive.
- What is the future of meaning? How do you see people finding meaning in their lives in the future you intend to bring into being?
Oh we will have much more power than that.
- Do you think you should have as much power over the future as you do?
Absolutely, but our kind is not going to obey it, because we're special and we're here to win everything. I mean Everything.
- Will you support calls for an internationally upheld pause on the advancement of AI capabilities and a grand-scale focused effort on AI safety research, via an international treaty? And if not, why not?
If he knows what's good for him, he will never be seen again.
- Where is Ilya?
