This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Sources told Reuters that the warning to OpenAI's board was one factor among a longer list of grievances that led to Altman's firing, as well as concerns over commercializing advances before assessing their risks.

Just like you have a safety break in an elevator, a circuit breaker for electricity, an emergency brake for a bus – there ought to be safety breaks in AI systems that control critical infrastructure, so that they always remain under human control,” Smith added.

oh that is an exceptionally poorly written repost bot:

was Richard distracted with thoughts of delicious foot skin or children when he programmed this trash?

it’s also very funny that the account has 2200 followers and posts every day, but nothing has comments and the most attention his posts get is 1-2 boosts if that

@self There’s a definite “Sir, this is an Arby’s” air to his posts.
