With an important distinction. No previous generation (obviously) tried to decide that we're done and it's the apes' turn now. I don't know if AGI is a near possibility or not, but if it is then it won't be our children who stand on the shoulders of giants anymore, will it ?
The ideas that led to OpenAI’s technologies were not plentiful. They were the product of a handful of brilliant researchers, who correctly structured OpenAI to prevent them from being co-opted by people who are incapable of ever having them.
Isnt that how most ai is built anyway? Taking what’s not theirs and selling it for profit?
Isn't that exactly how humans have been able to progress so far? By standing on the shoulders of others to reach higher and higher lofts?
If you don't want your knowledge to be used by machines or man, then you should bottle them up and hide them from both.
Not really, no. Humans progressed by building societies and rules. No society built on theft ever thrived.

Something something greater good
Ideas and money are cheap and plentiful. Execution is everything and from what little I know about Altman that seems to be his strength.

Got a citation for him DOING anything other than talking?
> Execution is everything and from what little I know about Altman that seems to be his strength.
when has he "executed"?
he seems to have had four jobs:
1. a failed startup founder 1. a YC person handing out other people's money 1. openai ceo 1. a horrific cryptocurrency grift
which do you feel he "executed" so impressively on?
What ventures has he executed successfully?
OpenAI obviously.
You can't argue that the company has not been impressively run and not just because of the quality of the models.
