From Brockman's email:

"Our biggest tool is the moral high ground. To retain this, we must: Try our best to remain a non-profit. AI is going to shake up the fabric of society, and our fiduciary duty should be to humanity."

Well, reading this in 2024 with (so-called) "Open"AI going for-profit, it aged like milk.

Also a few lines later, he writes:

"We don’t encourage paper writing, and so paper acceptance isn’t a measure we optimize."

So much for openness and moral high ground!

This whole thread is a masterpiece in dishonesty, hypocrisy and narcissistic power plays for any wannabe villains.

It's amusing to see they keep their masks on even in internal communications though. I'd have thought the messiah complex and benevolence parade is only for the public, but I was wrong.



These people talk like 20th century communists in a Vienna coffeehouse.
