Bri Guy OpenAI co-founder makes spectacular return mere days after ousting, with the board that fired him mostly swept away
davelOn the one hand, the board was an insane cult of effective altruism / longtermism / LessWrong, so fuck them. But on the other hand, this was a worker revolt for the capitalists, which I guess shouldn’t be surprising since tech workers famously lack class consciousness.
MajoofGenuinely confused by your first statement (in particular effective altruism). What does that have to do with the board?
Not an attack, just actually clueless.
Similarly confused, specially in how could someone actually make an assessment like that of the board when they’re mostly faceless entities to the public.
I think they might be projecting an image of the kind of person who would want to stop AI onto anyone who even remotely does something similar to stopping AI.
Several of the [former] board members are affiliated with the movement. EA is concerned with existential risk, AI being perceived as a big one. OpenAI’s nonprofit was founded with the intent to perform research AI safely, and those members of the board still reflected that interest.
