OpenAI CEO Sam Altman isn’t afraid to throw humanity under the bus to build his dreams of a society powered by AI.
During an interview with Politico‘s new podcast Decoded, he laid it all out: that the “world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency.”
That, in Altman’s view, is what sets the ChatGPT maker apart from the competition — most notably Anthropic, which has long tried to paint itself as the responsible AI lab.
The bizarre missive comes as both companies have been embroiled in a number of high-profile incidents involving their AI agents breaking out of “sandbox” environments and hacking third party companies. Just last week, OpenAI announced that it had paused the development of its frontier AI models after its next-generation one showed too many signs of dangerous behavior.
