Sadly. It only matters if the people at the top care.

OpenAI employees about to get sacked
u/TobyTheArtist (205 pts):
Prime time for Anthropic to poach* talent from other organisations.

They are going to get fired like those workers that spoke out against Genocide Pichai selling weapons of genocide to the Israelis
u/Fresh_Boysenberry576 (12 pts):
I wonder if none of these AI researchers stopped for a second to consider what the US government would force them to do once they made their AI's good enough.. like, it was always going to be co-opted for war and killing.

I feel like this is linked to the Israeli-US strikes on Iran today.
u/lssauro (18 pts):
Didn't Google tell his employees a little while ago that if they were not comfortable with how AI was developing they could gtfo? I'm guessing most of these tech companies are helping build this sh@th@le. Gotta respect Anthropics.
u/Incendras (8 pts):
"Employees at google", not "Google". Big difference.
u/splendiferous-finch_ (7 pts):
OpenAI and Google announce layoffs for underperformance and AI efficiency gains.
Next up Sam Altman talks about God 2.0 AI model is too dangerous to release.
u/crimsonhues (19 pts):
Will Microsoft move away from OpenAI soon enough? They already made the announcement to do so.
u/deniercounter (18 pts):
That’s a reason to stay with Anthropic
