The most plausible explanation, based on the facts so far provided, is that it is Harigai, and he is not happy with how the game/company turned out and does not want to be reminded about it anymore.


He's a CEO in the oil industry. He probably finds all of the video game enthusiasts annoying and a threat to his personal brand.


The fact is that, if there were only one AGI that were ever to be created, then yes it would be quite unlikely for that to happen. Instead, what we are seeing now is you get an agent, you get an agent, etc. Oprah style. Now just imagine that a single one of those agents winds up evil - you remember that an OpenAI worker did that by accident from leaving out a minus sign, right? If it's a superintelligence, and it becomes evil due to a whoopsie, then human extinction is now very likely.


It's not the sentence structure—it's the lack of sincerity


Probably collecting application fees from people interested in renting it.


If this outcome is guaranteed, why hasn't it already happened ?


Because we exist inside time, not outside it.


Same reason you're not dead yet.


How do you know it hasn't?


The whole point of the space stuff is not accepting all life dying out on any timescale.


Even rocks don’t last. What do you expect?


Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok all fulfil the 'whatever topic I am interested in this second, there are videos about it' property, though admittedly they do not have near as much meritorious long-form content as YouTube.


Damn, I didn't know you could watch your long videos on TikTok. When did this happen?


According to the first Reddit thread that appeared as a result when I searched on Google, March 2022.


It is starting to become clear to more and more people that Sam is a dyed in the wool True Believer in AGI. While it's obvious in hindsight that OpenAI would never have gotten anywhere if he wasn't, seeing it so starkly is really rubbing a lot of people the wrong way.


Advertising Generated Income?



Damm this is smart. I like it


Someone else said it first here


it's even worse than that and i hope people recognize that it's not that he's a True Believer (though the TBs are often hilarious)

it's that he has no ethics to speak of at all. it's not that he's out of touch, it's that he simply does not care.


Why would him believing in AGI make people dislike him?

He is clearly disliked by a lot of tech community, I don't see his AGI belief as a big part of that.


Well, in the world where AGI is created and it goes suboptimally, everybody gets turned into computronium and goes extinct, which is a prospect some are miffed about. And, in the world where it goes well, no decision of any consequence is made by a human being ever again, since the computer has planned every significant life event since before their birth. Free will in a very literal sense will have been erased. Sam being a true believer means he is not going to stop working until one of these worlds comes true. People who understand the stakes are understandably irked by him.


Their service mailing address is public record that you can just look up. You do not need anyone to send it to you.


If you are in the US you can look up their official service address through the secretary of state for the state that you will be filing the lawsuit in. There is never a need for them to specifically provide you an official address.


And if you're filing a state case, and you know which county they are in, call the Sheriff. Every Sheriff's office deals with legal service on a routine basis. I've paid the Sheriff many times for serving complaints.
