Sam Altman Isn’t the Answer to Regulating Artificial Intelligence

SBF's biggest problem was that he got caught (and became famous) before he could do the work necessary to clean things up. There's tons of grey/hinky stuff that goes on inside companies starting up. These companies either die, get acquired, or professionals are brought in to clean it up before it goes public.

FWIW I think Sam is an honest actor here though. No real funny business with OpenAI.

I've seen similar comment about SBF being genuine and solid here on HN before the whole scandal.

I don't think this is the same story, life is more complicated than that, but I don't see why I should blindly trust Altman because he seems like a good guy.

Well, except for the funny business such as backpedaling on being "open", trying to be a billion dollar company while pretending they aren't trying to be a billion dollar company, etc.

And with Sam Altman personally, it's really, really hard for me to get past all that WorldCoin stuff and pretend it never happened.
