If OpenAI's promises, you know, Sam Altman's out there saying this technology also has all this upside.

Some applications are real, you know, in medical diagnosis, in weather warnings.

There is life-saving stuff that is coming out of this tech.

But that's not where all the valuation is coming from, right?

And they're doing big defense deals to get money now.

And the risks are not going away.

And Sam Altman,

Critics allege in this piece triggered a wider race to the bottom.

I think some of the guardrails you're referring to are safety people in the company were sounding alarms.

We document a lot of the internal whistleblowing and people complaining to the board saying, hey, this company has started to race towards profit and it's it's.

actually, in some cases, concealing what's happening safety-wise.

There are allegations that Sam Altman was telling his board that a complex AI model had been tested in various respects safety-wise, and then it turns out it hadn't.

There's lots of stuff like that.

But also in terms of the corporate structure, there were guardrails that fell away.

Because this was a nonprofit, it was designed to have a board that could fire the head of the company if they were untrustworthy.

And particularly in this context, if they couldn't be trusted with this incredibly important mission of this may kill us all.

Sam Altman himself has said this could be lights out for all of us.

That's his words, if it goes wrong.

And what happened was a couple of years ago,

his board and executives at this company got together and they fired him because they felt that he was lying too much.
