johnswentworth comments on Dialogue on the Claim: “OpenAI’s Firing of Sam Altman (And Shortly-Subsequent Events) On Net Reduced Existential Risk From AGI”

[johnswentworth]

You could see this as evidence that the board never had much power, and so them leaving doesn’t actually change anything.

In the world where Sam Altman comes back as CEO and the board is replaced by less safety-motivated people (which I do not currently expect on an inside view), that would indeed be my interpretation of events.

Time to update then 🥲
