I get that these things cost a huge amount of money and there's a "lot of opportunity" ( aka make money and influence ) and I don't have many problems with that, except when the signal vs scumbaggery becomes too much.
But what I really hate about this whole OpenAI thing is their chosen path to have their cake and eat it too. Sam Altman seems to be something like the love child of Musk and Zuckerberg and one of the main traits is their lack of honesty.
Satya Nadella is.. Satya Nadella, there's a reason he was chosen to be the CEO of Microsoft, and while I enjoy seeing the Google demi-gods squirm, this whole OpenAI non/capped/profit thing stinks and I really don't see anyone involved capable or having the character to be something better than the current tech oligarchy.
