As someone who works in marketing, this is one of the cheapest tricks to sell something: "Our product is so good that it is dangerous and we cannot release it to the world". This translates to "Give us a lot of money for limited, exclusive access, sign this NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) so no one finds out it's not that good until we make enough revenue and can claim we made a less dangerous version for all, but the better version with more risks is established as high-price product." ;)

@jwildeboer wasn't only like 6 months ago that #OpenAI pulled a similar stunt with one of its project leaders "quitting in protest" in the name of Pandora because he was so terrified their technology was on the verge of achieving AGI sentience?

@bms48 ha, was that his name? When I heard that story, I just rolled my eyes and got back to my day... which actually involved talking a friend of mine down from believing the machines were about to make all knowledge workers obsolete within a year.

So I guess I didn't find that wacko to be funny.
