Sam Altman says OpenAI is open to slowing cutting-edge AI
Quite a leap from "AI will destroy humanity" to "and the way to fix it is to give us more money" in 24 hours. If they want to babble about their destructive power as a marketing tool, put risk weights on them like we do for banks www.politico.com/news/2026/09...
"Oh yeah you can cause catastrophes? Then you need to carry $1 trillion in reserves for rebuilding purposes"
Like crypto, they will want their bail out when the bottom falls out. I've seen this movie before several times, yup, I'm old
“Use AI for grid defense. There’s no way giving AI access to your grid will allow it to attack your grid on the way to destroying humanity.”
*OPENAI IS OPEN TO SLOWING CUTTING-EDGE AI, ALTMAN TELLS STAFF
Definitely not a scam. It is the least scammy product in the history of silicon Valley
There’s a nonzero chance that they’re having trouble making improvements and that’s why they’re going “ohhhh it’s so dangerous” so they can use that as an excuse to explain slower advancement
Ah yes, we’ve reached the point of the grift where people have clearly understood the “space data centers” were a grift from the moment the words left lips. So now, they kick the can of their failed society and enviro destroying product nobody wants… encourage regulation to hide the failure!
NONE OF OUR SHIT ACTUALLY WORKS SO WE ARE GOING TO SLOW HOW FAST OUR SHIT DOESN'T WORK SO NO ONE FINDS OUT OUR SHIT DOESN'T WORK.
This shit reminds me of how the director of Foodfight infamously gave his animators instructions like “Make it more awesome,” or “I need that 35% better.”
