That seems like a rather uncharitable take. Even if you’re mad at the company, would you (at least (~falsely) assuming this all may indeed be standard practice and not as scandalous as it turned out to be) really be willing to pay millions of dollars for the right to e.g. say more critical things on Twitter, that in most cases extremely few people will even care about? I’m not sure if greed is the best framing here.
(Of course the situation is a bit different for AI safety researchers in particular, but even then, there’s not that much actual AI (safety) related intel that even Daniel was able to share that the world really needs to know about; most of the criticism OpenAI is dealing with now is on this meta NDA/equity level)
As a trust fund baby who likes to think I care about the future of humanity, I can confidently say that I would at least consider it, though I’d probably take the money.
Is anyone else shocked that no one before Daniel refused to sign?
Someone who left on bad terms and was incredibly pissed at open ai
Interested in AI but has low marginal utility of money (academic, trust-fun baby, otherwise already rich)
Ethical grounds
I guess I shouldn’t be coming to this conclusion in 2024 but holy cow are people greedy.
