Sam Altman recently commented that “the bad case — and I think this is important to say — is, like, lights out for all of us.” I’m impressed that he said this given how bad this sort of thing could be for business—and this doesn’t seem like a PR move.
Sam Altman’s position on AI safety is awful enough that many safety-conscious employees left OpenAI. Saying things like that is helpful for assuring employees at OpenAI to think they are doing good by working at OpenAI. It’s likely good for business.
I don’t see how it would damage the business interests of OpenAI in any way to say such a thing.
