Altman is a consummate liar and manipulator with no moral scruples. I think this LLM business is ethically compromised from the start, but Dario is easily the least worst of the three.

Darío unsettles me the most, he kinda reminds me of SBF, I wouldn’t be surprised if, well they’re all bad its to stack rank them.

I don't think he's good, but afaik he isn't trying to make everyone psychologically dependent on Claude and releasing sex bots.

He and SBF are both big into effective altruism, and SBF gave Anthropic their seed funding, so yeah, that checks out.

There's nothing wrong with effective altruism -- making money to give it away -- it's SBF.

Of course there is. The whole thing is a cult, designed to pull in suckers.

Your argument is guilt by association. Association with something that isn't morally wrong, it's just a way to try to spend money on charity in an effective way? You can take a lot of ideas too far and end up with a bad result of course.

There’s 4 though, where does Demis fit in the stack rank?

TBH, I hadn't heard of him until now. Looks like he's had a crazy legit professional career. I'd put him at the top for his work at Bullfrog alone.

Demis is the reason Google is afloat with a good shot at winning the whole race. The issue currently is he isn’t willing to become the alphabet CEO. IMHO he’ll need to for the final legs.

I’d hate the job too. It would be interesting to see how Google might evolve with him at the helm, for sure.

Pfft. Dario has been making nonsense fear mongering that never comes true.
