Ah, ok. I certainly agree with that. My question would be whether it's even possible for we humans as we are now to make an AI with a deliberate eye to ethical behavior. Sam Altman clearly is not someone who can do that (nor is Elon Musk, for that matter). But I'm not sure I know of anyone who is.


I mean, there are plenty of people with the ethical chops to do so, and, I daresay, plenty who combine that with the technical chops.

What's lacking is the money & power.

Having/obtaining enough of those to be able to compete with the likes of OpenAI and Google is, unfortunately, nearly guaranteed to result in a deeply ethically compromised person at best.

Can you name some?

How do you know money and power wouldn't make whoever you're thinking of just as corrupt as the people who have the money and power now?
