Guard rails for capitalism, not AI
Before Altman's brief exit, there were two competing visions of AI. One, where it was a tool like electricity, drastically improving productivity and bringing even more prosperity for humanity.
The other was of a new kind of super-intelligence, which, if harnessed with maturity, could usher in a new era of world peace, universal income and societal good. OpenAI was set up to achieve the latter. After the Altman 'blip', it took a sharp turn towards the former.
Parmy Olson, in her 2024 book, 'Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT and the Race That Will Change the World', describes how the founders of AI superpowers — DeepMind, OpenAI and Anthropic — started with lofty ideals and independent labs, but sold out to Big Tech. As Kevin Roose wrote in a 2023 NYT article, 'AI Belongs to the Capitalists Now': '
A technology potentially capable of ushering in a Fourth Industrial Revolution was unlikely to be governed over the long term by those who wanted to slow it down — not when so much money was at stake.' Eventually, corporate and shareholder interests won over future worries and public good.
