I sure see a lot of power for power’s sake inside of companies.

OpenAI’s stated mission is AGI that can replace half the population in “economically valuable” work.

I get that with some creativity you can see that as a net benefit for humanity, but across at least a generation that’s going to be a rough & destabilizing transition.

Creativity doesn't come into it; the idea of jobs being lost is folk economics that no labor economist believes is possible. So all this shows is that they were founded by amateur AI doomers. We already knew that though.

There is one person out there who decides if you have a job and it's not anyone working on AI. It's the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
