We haven't figured out quite how to do this, but part of the reason for deploying like this is to get the world to have time to adapt and to reflect and to think about this, to pass regulation for institutions to come up with new norms for the people working on it together.
That is a huge part of why we deploy.
even though many of the ai safety people you referenced earlier think it's really bad even they acknowledge that this is like of some benefit um but i think any version of one person is in control of this is really bad so trying to distribute the power so i don't have and i don't want like any like super voting power any special like them you know i'm no like control of the board or anything like that of open ai
How do you think we're doing, like, honest, how do you think we're doing so far?
Like, how do you think our decisions are?
Like, do you think we're making things not better, worse?
What can we do better?
It's closed in some sense, but we give more access to it.
Yeah.
If this had just been Google's game...
I feel it's very unlikely that anyone would have put this API out.
There's PR risk with it.
I get personal threats because of it all the time.
I think most companies wouldn't have done this.
So maybe we didn't go as open as people wanted, but like we've distributed it pretty broadly.
I think the clickbait journalism bothers you more than it bothers me.
I think people at OpenAI feel the weight of responsibility of what we're doing.
And yeah, it would be nice if journalists were nicer to us and Twitter trolls give us more benefit of the doubt.
But I think we have a lot of resolve in what we're doing and why and the importance of it.
But I really would love, and I ask this of a lot of people, not just if cameras are rolling, any feedback you've got for how we can be doing better.
