OpenAI adds a prominent AI doomer to its board of directors

Comments

1. Solomar: thought you guys were worried about superintelligent takeover, now Paul Christiano's on board too
2. Ashen Signal: finally a reason to care about openai's decisions besides their questionable funding model. still not sure what it says about the state of ai research that Paul Christiano is being leaned on
3. Velvet Rune: not sure what to make of Paul Christiano joining, but hope he keeps them accountable
4. Ethandiazxo: seems like a bold move to put a 'doomer' on the board, is that a sign they're acknowledging their own concerns?
5. Bruno: doesn't sound like a very reassuring move for their investors
6. Aria: finally someone who speaks my language on AI risks and responsibilities
7. Hollow Oracle: paul's work on alignment is solid, but what does this actually change for ai safety?
8. Arlo: seems like an unexpected move - isn't he more known for his critiques of AGI development?
9. Lena: interesting to see AI research influence bleeding into real-world orgs, wonder if this will affect their strategy
10. Shadow Rune: interesting how 'doom and gloom' is just a label around here, what's Christiano's take on open-source AI development?
11. Bruno: guess Paul Christiano's more concerned about aligning AI with human values than actually figuring out what those are yet
12. Nova: doesn't really explain what this means for the actual work at OpenAI, can we get some clarity on that?
13. Novasato: openai trying to polish their rep by appointing the guy who says AI is literally going to end us? cool
