Boss of OpenAI calls for a regulatory light touch because of the ‘good stuff’ the technology can deliver

The chief executive of OpenAI cited hacks, scams and “other bad things that will happen” in an interview that sparked an instant backlash from critics of the big AI companies. His comments came after one of his company’s safety experts resigned, saying at the weekend that its “culture is broken”.

In an interview released on Monday, Altman was asked about how OpenAI’s approach to safety differed from that of Anthropic, which has called for the industry to slow down after one of its researchers quit, warning that AI experts believed “it could kill us all by the end of the decade”.

“I think there’s a lot of daylight,” Altman said. “One of the differences between us and some of the stricter AI safety people is that we believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency [to use AI widely].

    I’m interested as to why you find the case to be weak when the case has yet to be heard by a court or anyone else?

    This is a very serious issue, the rape of a child by a close family member, throwing around words like crazy before a hearing does not help victims of pedophilia.

      Because everyone in her life is against her. That is very telling. No one confirms her story or sides with her.

      That is very untypical in such scenarios because it’s very easy to defend the victim.

        I thought you would have more considering how strongly worded your statement condemning Altman’s was.

        That is very untypical in such scenarios because it’s very easy to defend the victim.

        Is this just your own uninformed opinion or what are you basing this on? If you had any real knowledge of how these cases play out in court you would be aware that parents often claim no knowledge of the abuse as it paints them as a terrible parent. It is very common for parents and other family members to claim ignorance for a multitude of reasons. Have you even considered the fact that the accused is a billionaire who the parents have a vested interest in keeping inside?

        Watch your mouth in future, uniformed views like yours are a big part of why pedophilia so often stays in the dark and victims fear coming forward.

          Wow, you seriously should read more on this case (or should I say - her parasitic lifestyle)

          I will elaborate no further after your “watch your mouth” because I’m sensing aggressivity (emotional), which implies you are not being objective.

          We will see how the lawsuit will end.

            You’ve literally presented no evidence to support any of your claims. Even if she was crazy, no one was on her side, or whatever, that isn’t proof she’s lying about being abused. Victim blaming based on how you feel is crazy.

              I’m not your AI agent. You can easily verify what I said (people being against her, her lifestyle) by spending a minute on Google. Which means yes, it looks like a weak case.

                  And you are a person who should form their own opinion instead asking to be fed. I simply stated my opinion with general reasons. We are talking about an ongoing case with no public evidence, do you understand what you’re asking? Simply gather known things and form your own conclusion, and hope for the best outcome.

                  EDIT: I forgot this isn’t reddit. People do not like objectivity and everyone loves blind hate without proof of wrongdoing.

            I don’t know what you are reading about the case but you seem to have strong opinions on this woman and her “parasitic lifestyle”. I am personally wary of newspaper articles that go beyond the facts of the case and stray into hear say and opinion. I would rather stay objective and keep my nose out of the tabloids and gutter press.

            I said for you to watch your mouth because idiotic statements like yours only do damage to the real victims of abuse and make people fearful to come forward with claims due to the pre trial speculation and ridicule they often face.

            We will see how the lawsuit will end.

            Why bother, you seem to have formed your opinion already.

              You know what does even more harm to genuine victims? People who lie about SA to use it as extortion and the ones defending them.

                This case has not even gone to trial yet but you have already made up your mind based on some hear say and tabloid drivel. I am glad you are not judge, jury and executioner in this case because your mind is clearly made up. I do not claim to know what happened, I would rather wait for the facts to be determined at trial and justice served. You are simping so hard for Altman I am trying to decide if you just love him or hate women in general? Either that or you are actually Sam Altman.

                  My brother in christ this all started as a sex assault allegation, which is very serious, with me simply stating my opinion that it looks like a weak case. You’re over-analyzing this and turning my simple opinion into something it really isn’t. Now I’m loving Altman?? Take a step back, I’m done here.

                    You are going out of your denigrate the woman before the case has been heard based on nothing more than your stupid opinion.

                    If the subject matter of the case was frivolous the wild speculation would not bother me. When dealing with the serious issues of rape and pedophilia your “simple opinion” amounting to trashing the woman’s reputation without solid evidence is dangerous and you are a disgusting individual. This is just my simple opinion, now it is time for you to step back and keep your stupid opinions to yourself.
