    s’alright, tho. It was always a cynical marketing strat to convert hyper-online nerd anxiety into investor hype. may want to check on Big Yud. Idk if anyone has heard from him since his Time Mag article coming onto a year old now, not that I tried.

    Some of the risks the team worked on included “misuse, economic disruption, disinformation, bias and discrimination, addiction, and overreliance.”

    Conspicuous lack of grey goo or hyper-persuasive brainhacking. Still really good at being confidently wrong about basic shit!

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The team reportedly disbanded days after its leaders, Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, announced their resignations earlier this week.

    The former executive published a series of posts on Friday explaining his departure, which he said came after disagreements about the company’s core priorities for “quite some time.”

    He said building generative AI is “an inherently dangerous endeavor” and OpenAI was more concerned with releasing “shiny products” than safety.

    The Superalignment team’s objective was to “solve the core technical challenges of superintelligence alignment in four years,” a goal that the company admitted was “incredibly ambitious.”

    Some of the risks the team worked on included “misuse, economic disruption, disinformation, bias and discrimination, addiction, and overreliance.”

    Axel Springer, Business Insider’s parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands’ reporting.
