Meh. I’m no particular fan of Altman but there’s nothing in this article particularly surprising or terrible.

The whole AI safety thing has always seemed extreme to me and has turned out to be a storm in a teacup. All those prominent people who used to tell us how AI will end humanity seem to have stopped talking about it.

I get the sense that Altman is not particularly like-able person but Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both seem to have scored a 10/10 on their “is this guy a jerk” rating, it’s common for tech CEOs.

So, the article and headline are dramatic but not much really there.

I think all the AI safety obsessed people turn out to have been the ones off course.
