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].

    Are you trolling me? I literally said you have comprehension problems and then you go ahead and use completely different words with different meaning (opinion vs claims with evidence) to accuse me. Either you are trolling me or you really are special, but I don’t have time for this.

        You made this your fight by inserting yourself into the discussion and turning it into an argument.

        What whataboutism? If there is no proof, then innocent until proven guilty. You want to believe sexual assaults without proof and we have seen countless times how that turns out.
