Incredible how many people are perfectly fine working for a company making AI powered murder bots.


This is a VC site. Morality or changing the world for the better is window dressing on earning as much money as possible and damn anyone who gets in the way. Morality is only good in as much as it’s good for business to be seen as moral. Money people have been majority running things for over 2 decades at least but the mythos lives on.


> Morality or changing the world for the better

I noticed on Altman’s recent announcement about someone being mean to him, he said that OpenAI had “changed the world” - conspicuously lacking any mention of “better”.


Killing bad people is changing the world for the better


I seriously doubt that’s the case. Someone will take offense in your killing, and come back for you and your tribe. And so round and round it goes.


Yeah, the ‘bad’ people.


Like journalists, or civilians in Gaza and Iran?
