I wasted 7 minutes listening to this dufos and all I heard was drama.
What is the root issue with safety that I read was the reason for the firing.
It seems to me that should be the focus of the discussion not the fucking drama.
It looks like its being suppressed.
Well, that was the best I could find, given how fast the situation has escalated... It's not that bad, you should have watched 'til the end IMHO.
It appears that two opposing camps were formed inside OpenAI: the research/tech camp, led by Ilya Sutskever, which focused on the tech development and safety issues, and the business/corporate camp, led by the then CEO Sam Altman, which wanted to commercialize/monetize their AI products very fast, apparently without adequately dealing with the safety issues. I get the feeling that there were some ego-driven moves from the research/tech camp, specifically from Sutskever, that led to the firing of Sam Altman.
It all escalated in a big mess, with Sutskever eventually regretting having caused the firing of Altman and practically begging him to come back, now threatening to quit from OpenAI himself if Altman doesn't come back...
The big winner in all of this appears to be Microsoft, which have now taken Altman, together with all the lead AI researchers and most employees of OpenAI, and possibly even Ilya Sutskever himself, on their team, and will give them practically infinite resources to continue their work on AI development.
I'm not a big fan of Microsoft, and don't like the idea of them dominating (and heavily commercializing/monetizing) the AI sector. I hope Altman and the rest of the team return to OpenAI, sort out their differences, wipe out the toxic board members and move forward.
As for the specifics on AI safety, no details are given, just the "AI becomes self-aware, wipes out all humans" possibility is mentioned. It's more or less drama at this stage.
