> OpenAI is heavily influenced by Rationalist rhetoric

The sheer number of hoops you had to jump through to be a NYT apologist is just mind numbing. No, OpenAI isn't influenced by Grimes' chat messages on discord to mind-control us.

I specifically said the Grimes connection isn't the point being made. OpenAI is in fact influenced by, if not rooted in, Rationalist rhetoric about AGI and alignment: https://openai.com/charter/

Are you claiming it is not??

I think you're missing the point. It is the NYT that is making those absurd links and for you to defend it is indescribable and grim.
