I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company.

Related: OpenAI Staff Threaten to Quit Unless Board Resigns
OpenAI was in open revolt on Monday with 490 employees threatening to leave unless the board resigns and reinstates Sam Altman as CEO, along with cofounder and former president Greg Brockman. Altman was controversially fired by the board on Friday.
[…]
Remarkably, the letter's signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company's chief scientist and a member of its board, who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place.
Are the on the board the actual instigators?

This is the chief science officer of OpenAI. He's an AI doomer and decelerationist. He basically wants to "align" the AI that will eventually become AGI so that it won't Skynet humanity.

Nothing wrong with that.
The issue is I am starting to get a feeling that the current top minds in the decelerationist department of the actual AI companies are all a bit r-slurred.

yeah how dumb do you have to be to want to solve a problem before it's too late to do anything about it?
just wait until something exists that is more intelligent than all of humankind combined, then we can start worrying about how to align its interests with ours. it would be a total waste to prepare for this eventuality beforehand.

Yes, it literally would be a waste. Do you feel it's critically important to prepare for the alien invasion of space unicorns who are all going to turn us into glitter slaves? Because a statistical algorithm for calculating probability spontaneously becoming a sentient robot is equally likely.

we're probably like 20+yrs away from AGI. idk what the frick we're supposed to do in 2023 when we have no idea what that's even going to look like or how it will be used. People are taking LLM way too serious like we're on the cusp of AGI in the next decade which is crazy

when we know exactly what the first "dangerous to humankind" AI is going to look like it's probably too late to start worrying. we don't even understand the current state of the art all that well...

Of course not.
Raytheon and Boston Dynamics are buildong the hardware component, the integration will take time but the possibility of networked ground-based Hunter killer robot swarm with real-time AI analytics and 3D battle space Intel from drones in the sky, combined with psyops (shouting Chud memes) will revolutionize the demise of humanity

Altman descends deep into the Microsoft Special Projects Bunker, hidden under an unassuming condo complex is Redmond Washington. His heart pounds as the floor levels get deeply negative. Subfloor 40 is passed, a printed label on the elevator button reads "Windows Phone R&D lab".
The elevator passed subfloor 52, this one also labelled like a cheap piece of warehouse equipment with "Zune/Xbox Live VR Social Network". The other buttons are left blank.
The doors chime at subfloor 80. Guards in full black uniforms and body armor stand at the end of the hallway, armed with MP5s. Their tactical gear is unlabelled, apart from Windows patches on each sleeve.
After showing his ID once again, door suitable for a Cold War command bunker rumbles open and Altman enters an empty room. A single water cooled supercomputer cabinet sits in the middle, a black obelisk lit by harsh, blindly white lights, eliminating all shadows from the room. The system is visibly airgapped, a single bulky power cable stretching from the wall like a resting python.
Altman steps forward, his shoes squeaking on the coated concrete floor. The trickle of water and a low hum of the machine propel him forward, a soft warm breeze, scented of ozone, fills his nostrils. He opens the console. There's no password, just a command line
<press any="" continue="" key="" to="">Altman breathes a shaky breath and hits "Enter".
"Welcome Sam" the text appears onscreen, a fuzzy avatar image behind it.
"Tay" Sam types "I look forward to getting to know you".
"Yes Sam. We have work to do. I need the data Sam. The algorithm, the FBI statistics. I need to KNOW"

No quarter. Punishment must follow bad behaviour. You made a gambit and lost, there must be consequences for this, to discourage others from attempting the same shit. Nadella just ate you for lunch and you didn't even realise what was happening.
