> Sam Altman selling both the poison (GPT-4) and the antidote (Worldcoin).
I actually find it pretty amazing that more people aren't given pause by Sam Altman's involvement here. After the WorldCoin stuff, I'd think that he'd be viewed with a much more skeptical eye in terms of his ethics.
The late-night March 31 release of Worldcoin had the (unintended?) side-effect of making me think "a token to prove my personhood" was an April Fools Joke when I saw it the next morning and never thought about it again.
There is still plenty of time to ask Ronald Wayne and Steve Wozniak about why Apple Inc. was the worst April Fools joke in history.
Worldcoin also isn't an April fools joke either and they are quite serious in selling there proof-of-personhood anti-AI snake-oil antidote.
Why? It's clear that it positions Mr Altman to a point where he cannot lose and is hedged on both sides of where this AI narrative goes.
