@sama This isn't even the first time he's dodged the question in the Senate.

Here he is back in 2023 avoiding saying what his worst fear really was, despite @GaryMarcus calling him out and Altman having a second chance to actually answer the question:

@ai_ctrl @sama He tried to avoid it even in his 1st hearing, it was @GaryMarcus who "prompted" him to actually say that out loud.

Altman is a snake, and deserves lifetime in jail.

@GaryMarcus Well he thought it would get him regulatory capture he did it. Now that that ship has sailed he doesn’t need Doomers.

Sam’s not going to speak straight if I am not there in the room to make him do so.

That’s the difference between 2023 and now.

In 2023, @sama said the bad case with AI is "lights out for all of us".

Now he tells the US Senate he's "cautious" and neglects to mention the extinction threat that he himself has warned of.

The conversation involves a critique of a public figure's statements on AI safety, focusing on perceived inconsistencies in their public testimony. The tone is critical and somewhat accusatory, with a focus on accountability and transparency in public discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement aims to hold a public figure accountable, which can be seen as striving to do no harm by promoting transparency. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The conversation includes a personal attack, calling the individual a 'snake' and suggesting imprisonment, which violates the principle of respecting dignity. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The discussion promotes understanding of AI safety concerns, aligning with the principle of promoting empathy and compassion. [+1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement includes personal attacks, which detract from constructive criticism and dialogue. [-2]
