> This reeks of marketing and a push for early regulatory capture. We already know how Sam Altman thinks AI risk should be mitigated - namely by giving OpenAI more market power.

This really is the crux of the issue isn't it? All this pushback for the first petition, because "Elon Musk," but now GPT wonder Sam Altman "testifies" that he has "no monetary interest in OpenAI" and quickly follows up his proclamation with a second "Statement on AI Risks." Oh, and let's not forget, "buy my crypto-coin"!

But Elon Musk... Ehh.... Looking like LOTR out here with "my precious" AGI on the brain.

Not to downplay the very serious risk at all. Simply echoing the sentiment that we would do well to stay objective and skeptical of ALL these AI leaders pushing new AI doctrine. At this stage, it's a policy push and power grab.

We should also stay skeptical of all the internet conspiracy theories too.

I don't think anyone can actually tell which is which on this topic.

Agreed. Do add a mental /s on my above comment. It's a bit tongue and cheek.
