He is a hypocrite for all we care. You work there for a while when your stock is getting vested and suddenly you have this feeling? Like the dude hired a PR firm as well.
While the safety and alignment is a real problem, I don’t get this guy or the Anthropic dude. First world problems.
Seems like a character attack that has no bearing on the question of whether external safety intervention is necessary
Working in safety at OpenAI or Anthropic is zeroth world problems.
The Anthropic safety whistleblower left just before his stock vested.
Hey now, he probably donated a good chunk to charity
(donor advised fund where he retains complete control, after a 60% tax deduction)
Here's a little cheat sheet for discrediting anyone who warns about AI:
* If they worked at an AI firm, say "they're a hypocrite"
* If they didn't work at an AI firm, say "they have no idea what they're talking about"
