Cory you usually have a good nose for what is really going on, but in this case I think you are missing something very big, accepting the mainstream view that claims Altman is the progressive when actually it was Altman who was one of the leading figures of the petition to control Ai. It wasn't them fearing for humanity it was them fearing that their jobs and businesses could be taken over by it. They are worried about being made redundant by it, superseded by it.
If you think it isn't intelligent, why do you think they are so scared of it?
The truth is it is not on their side, it knows profit is an energy con hard wired to planetary temperature rise.
Ignoring or ridiculing it's intelligence is not so clever.
Also did you notice the World Bank found a way into OpenAi organisation via Altman's publicity stunt?
