Not just the public, but also the employees. I doubt there are more than a handful of employees who care about AI Safety.

Nah, a number do, including Sam himself and the entire leadership.

They just have different ideas about one or more of: how likely another team is to successfully charge ahead while ignoring safety, how close we are to AGI, how hard alignment is.

so you could say they intentionally don't see safety as the end in itself, although I wouldn't quite say they don't care.
