At least this guy is being honest about the context:

> They are smart people. About that I have no doubt. But I’ve seen how they treat rules. I know what they think of ethics.

Also:

> I have never met Sam, and I have only met Greg a couple of times.

I'm just saying, breaking rules in business is not necessarily the same as being unethical. Especially financial/regulatory capture rules like it seems the author is complaining about.

Different things are at stake with AI, and I think we're all aligned.

Can you explain this?


When a company has unreasonable deadlines set by outside entities, breaking rules is a necessary part of functioning.


Is filing reports as a nonprofit an example of unreasonable expectations from the us govt?


To some, any expectations placed upon anyone (company or person) by the government is too much. Mostly people that haven’t progressed much after reading Rand in high school.


I ran a small business and had to get a couple licenses from the state. It wasn't difficult but it sure was annoying.


I guess that implies you are at openai, maybe not? What does it mean that different things are at stake with ai and that "we are aligned"?
