Sam Altman, in a new blog post, says "we are now confident we know how to build AGI" and OpenAI are "beginning to turn our aim beyond that, to superintelligence"

The statement engages in a public discourse about the claims of developing AGI and critiques the confidence expressed by OpenAI. It questions the validity of these claims and suggests skepticism, which is a part of a broader debate on AI development.

    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement questions the claims made by OpenAI, which could be seen as a form of constructive skepticism. However, it does not directly harm or disrespect others.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by encouraging a critical examination of claims about AGI, fostering a more informed public discussion. [+1]
