>>82087492 (OP)>AltmanHis concern for AI risk is fake, because he contractually gets to take back OpenAI's deal from Microsoft (for free, and keep the money they paid him) if it evolves to become AGI. So he pretends to be concerned, so that a judge is more likely to say that CGPT is AGI, when the time comes. He's still in the power-accrual phase of his life, and we haven't really seen how he'll use power. Ideologically, hedonistically, philanthropically, etc; we don't really know yet.
>Thiel He's ideologically authoritarian and elitist. He believes that democracy gives too much decision making power to stupid and uneducated people. Part of the "elite human capital" crowd that worships east asians, brahmin, jews, and well educated WASPs. MAGA and Trump seem like a monkey's paw to these guys. You ally with them and get your authoritarianism, but it's the most incompetent low IQ bunch imaginable.
>MuskHe's genuinely just retarded now. He was evil as a LARP, like a high school kid who calls himself a satanist. But unlike the HS kid, he has a lot of money and influence, so can do real things, like cancel medical and food aid to Africa (16,500 deaths so far is fair, but the prediction of millions coming seems unrealistic to me). Maybe he used to be smart, but his brain is so broken on drugs and social media. He has no consistency; weaving wildly between conflicting ideologies: classic liberal, pro-MAGA, anti-MAGA, trans-humanist, anti-trans activist, white supremacist, H1B brahmin lover, etc.
