OpenAI is without its people

GPT-5 Also decided to leave OpenAI!


Sam Altman as a Rogue AGI

“And after the autonomous agent was found to be deceptive and manipulative, OpenAI tried shutting it down, only to discover that the agent had disabled the off-switch.” (reference to the failed Boardroom Coup)

OpenAI’s creators hired Sam Altman, an extremely intelligent autonomous agent, to execute their vision of x-risk conscious AGI development for the benefit of all humanity but it turned out to be impossible to control him or ensure he’d stay durably aligned to those goals.

(*Spontaneous round of applause*)

This did not age well


Sam said …

  • Sam said the board should be able to fire him, then…
  • Sam said he’d give 20% of compute for superalignment, then…
  • Sam said AI regulation was important, then…
  • Sam said checks and balances on his power were important, then…
  • Sam said the safest way to build ASI was to start now, before a compute overhang,
    then started raising trillions to build the compute himself
  • Sam said for safety reasons, OpenAI should be controlled by a non-profit, free from commercial pressures, then…
  • Sam said he wasn’t doing it for the money, then…
  • Sam said… ….

The bottomline

  • The nonprofit — a for profit.
  • Profit caps — lifted.
  • Coup plotters — dealt with.
  • Mask — off.

Scoop: Sam Altman is planning to take equity in OpenAI for the first time.
It’s part of a corporate restructure which will also see the non-profit which currently governs OpenAI turn into a minority shareholder.

It can be lonely being the head of the family

Lol…but it’s truly weird…they all started together


For some reason this reminded me of :

This is the classic example from 1930 of Stalin and Nikolai Yezhov. The original photo was made in 1930. Yezhov was executed in 1940, so all photos of Stalin (he liked this one) after that airbrushed out Yezhov.

Never a boring day at OpenAI

Even the best utopian scenario of a fully automated “solved world” is actually dystopian AF !!!

I want you to picture this:
You wake up tomorrow in your bed that adjusts to your perfect sleep cycle. Your coffee brewed exactly how you like it. Your news curated for your bubble, your entertainment selected for your mood and your feel… NOTHIN! Cuz somewhere in the night while you were sleeping, the world learned to run without you.

Your job… AUTOMATED! your creativity… REPLICATED! your expertise… DOWNLOADED! Your perspective… SIMULATED! your passion projects… GENERATED IN SECONDS!

You sit there in your perfect automated morning with your perfect, personalised everything and you realise:

NOBODY CALLED! NOBODY TEXTED! NOBODY NEEDS YOU TO SOLVE ANYTHING! NOBODY NEEDS YOU.  NOBODY NEEDS YOU TO CREATE ANYTHING! NOBODY NEEDS YOU TO SHOW UP! NOBODY NEEDS. NOBODY NEEDS YOU.

And that feeling you’ve been pushing down,

that dread creeping up your spine, that voice you’ve been silencing, finally speaks…

“Will I matter anymore?”

Do I… matter anymore?

(To be clear, I don’t approve open-sourcing, as it’s probably exacerbating things, but just highlighting the hypocrisy)

The AI does not love you. Nor does it hate you, but you are made out of letters that can be used to spell something else. ___OK_______
