So the name being wrong means the department should be gutted?

Overly-serious naming is hardly a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

All I said was that I like pancakes, where are you getting "I hate waffles" from?

It is actually completely un-serious naming imo, which may have contributed to higher ups at the company wondering what this person even did and how valuable they were

Dude you have no idea what you are talking about. Just stop talking and read for a few minutes.

OpenAI was founded around the principle avoiding catastrophic risk. 0 people at OpenAI are confused by the goal. It is the governance board's (nominal) primary and only goal. Sidelining that team was an intentional goal by a CEO who wants to pivot into a for-profit company.

I just cannot explain how wrong you are on this. Please have some intellectual humility.

Catastrophic risk was never a serious possibility from anything OpenAI could ever produce, so it's not surprising at all that this is being sidelined as they pivot to a for-profit company

Anyone who joined OpenAI in the past thinking they were seriously going to produce "Catastrophic Risk" from their research into language models is a joke

If you want me to believe "catastrophic risk" is an outcome from your company, I would assume you are developing autonomous weapons, not glorified chatbots

Please be serious
