I thought the Ronan Farrow/Andrew Marantz New Yorker article on OpenAI and Sam Altman in particular reveals many important details and helps settle several speculations (e.g. about what happened when Altman was briefly fired from OpenAI). The overall portrayal of Altman as frankly a compulsive liar is much needed.

However, like many Farrow and Marantz seem to take the so-called "existential risk" framing of AI seriously. I really wish people would stop doing that. In this case it makes the article feel incoherent in places.

This technology by itself does not pose a unique risk. It's the people, organizations, and governments around it, and their behavior with respect to it, that generate risk. Treating the technology alone as uniquely existentially risky provides cover for a wide variety of bad actors to both continue doing their work as well as to shrug and say "oops" if something goes catastrophically wrong or if smaller harms accumulate into intolerably large ones. The very framing provides an accountability shield, which by my read contradicts what Farrow himself suggests is needed, namely more accountability. I take this from this article, his previous work, and comments he makes in interviews (e.g., this one with Decoder.

We need to stop catastrophizing. It's thought and action terminating.

I'm not against AI, It's not even the problem, it's a symptom. The problem is lack of social cohesion, lack of common vision, lack of interest for the common brood. AI is the name given to a branch of a technology (ML, Machine Learning), for marketing purpose, and daily dull -misleading- content in the news. #AI #AIsafety #EU #ConsumersRights

I realized that I'm not a -native- machine language speaker today, yet, neither are LLMs :

A machine did not educate me from early stage in a sort of cyber-womb, and neither did LLMs.

It's delirium appearing partially coherent, disconnected from reality.

There should be a law amendment in the #EU by now, if existing regulations aren't enough to protect EU citizens against the endless stream of false claims by AI merchants. #AIsafety #consumerRights #regulation
