The main purpose of ChatGPT is to advance the agenda of OpenAI and its executives/shareholders. It will never be not “aligned” with them, and that it is its prime directive.

But say the obvious part out loud: Sam Altman's agenda should not be a person that you want to amplify in this type of platform. This is why Sam is trying to build Facebook 2.0: he wants Zuckerberg's power of influence.
Remember, there are 3 types of lies: lies of commission, lies of omission and lies of influence [0].

Thank you. Now you're talking!
If you control information, you can steer the bulk of society over time. With algorithms and analytics, you can do it far more quickly than ever.
I get the point and agree OpenAI both has an angenda and wants their AI to meet that agenda, but alas:
> It will never be not “aligned” with them, and that it is its prime directive.
Overstates the state of the art with regard to actually making it so.
If OpenAI could reliably "align" anything, they wouldn't have shipped 4o the wrongful death lawsuit generator.
This is a weird take. Yes they want to make money. But not by advancing some internal agenda. They're trying to make it confirm to what they think society wants.
Yes. If a person does it, it’s called pandering to the audience.
