My guesses:

  • Toner's role is being underplayed by the video. She's potentially calling Altman out, for underrating the dangers of AI.
  • At least Altman is lying about something - about how much OpenAI is going towards AGI in the short term. The above might've bought the bullshit fully, while Sutskever knows that it's bullshit.
  • I'm not sure if the board is also lying or not.
  • The boiling point was likely OpenAI potentially receiving some cash grant from some scummy party, that would be in a moral grey area considering the "non-"profit goals of the company.
  • Everybody will get a bit more of free popcorn for a while. ๐Ÿฟ This mess is far from over.
