    I’m afraid about every person who has power, not only the dumb ones. Either smart people with bad intentions or dumb people with power. The chance that a powerful person is smart and has good intentions is rare.

      Good intentions alone don’t guarantee good outcomes. I suggest not giving any single person or entity too much power, no matter who they are.

          You see real democracy is when you subvert the will of the people and call it “checks and balances”.

      The only way to get this rich is by exploiting others and almost definitely breaking laws. These people all have a screw loose somewhere.

      I’m afraid of both, too, but if I had to choose:

      • evil but smart people only harm you when it benefits them
      • dumb but good people harm you all the time

      As such I see the later as far more dangerous. Although there’s an even worse group, that Altman likely belongs to - the dumb but evil ones.

    I’m not sure OpenAI has such a big a head start as we think in the field. What they have is a lot of money to train large models but Moore’s law is still alive and kicking.
