And they had a first meeting of the safety and ethics board in 2015 after the acquisition.

They got Reid Hoffman to show up.

Dilemma.
Either you put people on the board who don't know what they're talking about and they're not interested in AI, or they do know about AI, in which case they want to go and do their own thing because it's too exciting not to.

And a fundamental mistake that Demis made in his early conceptualization of how AI would be developed was this notion that there would be one single lab producing AI on behalf of all humanity.
